The Brewery

We had lunch at the Forrest Brewery. It's a genuinely micro brewery, and we liked the range of distinctive beers that were available. We can talk about the “range” of beers, because there's an option to purchase a tasting platter which gives you a sample of each of the 7 that were on offer. The food was good, too, and the service was friendly and efficient.

Forrest is a small town on the northern slopes of the Otways. These days, it's on the inland route to Apollo Bay. It was once a timber town at the end of the branch rail line that ran from Birregurra on the main line, through Dean's Marsh. It seems to be re-inventing itself, as a centre for mountain bike riding and other activities, including platypus watching at nearby Lake Elizabeth. We read about the latter but didn't have time to investigate.
