American Craft Beer,
Spirits and Pizza!
36 Alfred Street South Melbourne, VIC 3205
Who we are
Westside Ale Works is a family-owned and operated craft brewery tucked away on Alfred Street in South Melbourne. Partner and Head Brewer, Casey Wagner, pays homage to the microbreweries of the U.S. West Coast with everything he does - from the cozy atmosphere of our warehouse-style taproom to the hop-driven beers he brews. We take pride in creating a warm and welcoming experience for anyone who walks through our big roller door!
what we do
Our beer specialty typically includes styles like American Pale Ales, West Coast IPAs, American Sours, and Stouts. We also have been working on our barrel program which was launched in 2019 and soon to follow our Spirit program. There is always something on tap for everyone, including the non-beer drinkers with our house-made apple cider and house-distilled gin, whiskey and dark rum.
Looking for a place to host
your next event?
Want to have your function in a local microbrewery? We can cater to groups of up to 70 inside and 50 outside. We have two separate spaces available for hire indoors, and one outdoors. Our mezzanine level meeting space is perfect for smaller groups of up to 20.
We have a 155" projection screen in our taproom and a 60" monitor in our mezz function space. Both are perfect for whatever you would like to show your guests. We also have sound systems in both rooms.
DRINK
Westside Ale Works is constantly experimenting. With the addition of our barrel aging program in 2019, we starting thinking about the synergy between beer, spirits and barrels. Soon after we purchased a pot still and reflux still to hone in our skills. This is continuing to evolve and has recently seen us release a unique Four Grain Whiskey, Dark Rum and Gin. Each batch is made by hand from the finest ingredients. We even re-cooper our own barrels!

grub
We start by making the dough fresh in house with one of our rotating tap beers. Then we embrace our American roots and use all fresh toppings, including our smoked American-style bacon, and add a generous amount of our addicting house made pizza sauce.
