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. The brewery was founded in 2016 and pays homage to the microbreweries of the U.S. West Coast. Offering a cozy atmosphere in our warehouse-style taproom with hop-forward beers and tasty pizzas. We take pride in creating a warm and welcoming experience for anyone who walks through our big roller door!

what we do

Our specialty is brewing bold, flavourful beers—West Coast IPAs, American Pale Ales, American Sours, and Stouts. We experimented with our barrel-aged program in 2019, as well as our spirit program, but have since chosen to focus on what we do best. There’s still something for everyone, with a selection of soft drinks, wine, spirits, and plenty of guest taps to suit non-beer drinkers.

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.
