With Australia Day tomorrow we thought it would be appropriate to mention the Great Aussie Beer Shed. This great attraction is just out side of the Victorian / New South Wales border town of Echuca on the mighty Murray River. This unique and popular tourist attraction features well over 16,000 cans from all around the world plus plenty of other beer related paraphernalia including beer taps, brewery equipment and signage. There are over 5000 square foot of displays and some extremely rare cans and bottles on display. This would have to be one of the world’s best and most extensive beer collections.For more information; http://www.greataussiebeershed.com.au/

The equipment is very high tech and the fermenting tanks are monstrous. You get a really good understanding of how beer is produced and packaged over about 90 minutes, before ending up at the best bit the tasting room for a few free samples and the odd seafood cracker- delicious. You can stay a little longer and have lunch and pay for a few extra beers if you wish. If you are really nice to the friendly customer relations people they might even send an extra free on your way if things are not very busy. Read the rest of this entry »
