Why it's worth checking out
Brew Nation sits on Alinga Street in the heart of Canberra's Civic centre. With 185 reviews behind its 4.3 rating, it has built a strong following.
The appeal is craft beer and a relaxed atmosphere — a great spot to sample a range of beers, settle in with friends and soak up the easygoing vibe, right in the city. Its central Civic location, close to the shops and nightlife, makes it easy to fold a visit into a wider night out.
Beer lists, events and trading hours change over time, and it gets busy on weekends. Check current details directly with the venue, and consider arriving early or booking where possible to be sure of a spot.
