Capital Brewing Co

Capital Brewing Co sits on Dairy Road in Fyshwick, on Canberra's eastern side. One of the capital's most popular independent craft breweries, it's earned a strong following for its beers and its huge, welcoming taproom and beer garden — a genuine destination where you can drink the range fresh, right where it's made.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely good, locally brewed craft beer, a relaxed, sociable taproom-and-garden atmosphere and often food trucks and live music, making it a great spot for a relaxed afternoon or evening. It's become a beloved fixture of Canberra's thriving craft-beer scene, popular with locals and visitors alike.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,000 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. The beer range rotates, and the taproom's hours, any food offering and events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink and a browse of what's pouring, it's often just a matter of dropping in and sampling a few of the beers that have made Capital Brewing such a Canberra favourite.
