As my mate Nicko described it “A tin shed in Banyo” is where you’ll find our beloved All Inn Brewing Co. I had to consult the archives to check my FIRST visit: Wednesday 12 August 2015, because it was the EKKA public holiday and our mates from The Bent Elbow bar had organised a bus trip there.
It was the FIRST craft beer brewery I’d ever visited (you never forget your first).
These pics umm “borrowed” from the Bent Elbow (thanks folks) Top image here: eager punters waiting at the bar (my mates Greg & Marty).
the BELOW image features yours truly> in a pink and black shirt on the left. (seriously the only PINK in any photo). Wearing an All Inn HAT, (don’t know where that is now). But KEN OATH that was a rad trip.
This brewery is totally COOL, warehouse-style, big and airy – the perfect place to brew the beer RIGHT THERE. and it’s fresh on TAP. There’s heaps of seats to get comfy and try ALL the beers.
Flash forward to now: 2023 and ANOTHER bus ride. This time the Tour de North – encompassing THREE craft breweries in the area: All Inn, Fick Brewing and Aether.
A triangle of beerness, the bus was FREE: hop-on-hop-off style, as it toured the triple breweries. pretty hard to say no to that.
SO happy to revisit ALL INN, and see it’s still as bright and sparkly as ever.
The booze menu – just has every kind of beer imaginable, PLUS ginger beer, ciders, all the wines and NON ALC beverages.
My favourite was the American RED, with yummy malty biscuity FLAVOUR, grabbing it by the schooner-full.
Loved it so much, I got a 4pk takeaway from the fridge. But they also do growler and squealer jugs (refillable) if that’s your jam.
ALL INN is a FUN brewery, with live music, food trucks and trivia nights. Loved it then, still love it now.
