Mudgee Brewery Co
When I suggested we should have Sunday lunch at the Mudgee Brewing Company, as you can imagine, the men in the family answered with a unanimous and hearty “yes”.
When I added that the brewery puts on entertainment for the Sunday afternoon crowd I could see my dear hubby mentally settling in for the long haul.
I have to admit, a laid back lunch in the pub, a bit of music and sampling some boutique beer, doesn’t sound half bad to me either.
The brewery was opened in June 2007 by a local resident and lover of beer. This beer visionary was Gary Leonard, he had set himself the task of creating a new brand of locally brewed, boutique style beer.
With passion, skill, a lot of hard work, and plenty of taste testing three distinct beers were established under the Mudgee Brewing Company’s’ label. The beers now on offer are a Pale Ale, Wheat and Porters beer. The brewery also produces a special blend periodically, enabling beer lovers to try something a little different in their tasting. The current new blend is a “Spring” beer which is an American style brew.
Mr GG was a good sport about the tasting and agreed to sample each of the four beers and give a beer lover’s perspective on the range. Hubby usually likes a pale ale and the Mudgee Brewing Co Pale Ale was no exception. The beer of the day for him however was the “Special Release Spring Beer” which was light, flavoursome and fresh, although he did say it had a bit of a kick at 5% alcohol.
Mr GG’s dad enjoys a darker beer and knocked back quite a few of the Mudgee Brewing Co Porters throughout the afternoon. Senior GG usually enjoys an old, and the Porter had obviously hit the spot with him.
With the beer tasting complete we settled in for lunch and spent the remainder of the afternoon enjoying the entertainment, the beverages, and some great company.
The brewery is open from 9.00am Monday to Friday and 8.30am on a weekends. Beer tasting platters are available at the bar for $6.00 for a “sevens” glass of each of the four beers. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch 7 days a week, and dinner from Thursday - Saturday.
Make sure to book a table for the restaurant as they are always very busy 02 6372 6726. The brewery is located at 4 Church Street, Mudgee.

Have Your Say
What a lucky little girl to have you as her mother Julie.
Oh my goodness! What an amazing place. I have always wondered what it was like there! :)
Awww what a lovely way to spend quality time together! I love love love all the different types of bananas you got to try! Yayy for fun holidays!
Miss J I wish I could have been there for you today, just know in my heart I was thinking of you. I shed a tear for you and K when I read your post and I can't wait to give you big hugs tomorrow. Xxoo
big hugs to you and your family. memories are meant to be kept and some in drawers and brought out at times. stay strong.
Beautiful post Julie and it brought tears to my eyes because I know from talking to you how much she meant to you. This post just brought it to words beautifully.
What a beautiful way to remember your gorgeous girl! Just reading yours and her story bought back the small number of memories I have about Kaela, the one that is forefront in my mind and always hovers there is the complete and utter joy I saw her showing on your wedding day. I think it was Manny whizzing her round and round in her chair on the sand and she was smiling and laughing so much! Loved it!!
Julie you are an amazing mum, the love you have for all your children is to be admired and emulated by others.
Our thoughts and love to you and yours today and always xx
Dear Julie,
I think that this post is such a beautiful way to remember the life of your daughter. Reading this brought a tear to my eye. I want to go over and give you a big fat hug right now.
NOTHING in this world can ever, ever compare to a Mother's love for her child, just as you've shown Kaela and your other children. I'm sure Kaela was very happy to have YOU as her mother and that in many ways, she was able to show love to others because she was first shown love from you, too. Her life is a true testament of courage and strength and I'm sure each day with her felt like the biggest blessing of all. You should be proud to say that your beautiful daughter, Kaela, has touched more people in her 16 years of life than most of us ever could in our whole lives, even till this day.
I have so much respect for you and other mothers out there who's had the same experience. I've never read such an honest, heartfelt and emotionally raw post and I applaud your courage to share this. I don't think it's fair to say that I understand your pain but I hope you know that your post has really touched me and many others out there right now. Cheers to many more celebrations to commemorate the wonderful life that Kaela has led on earth. It's painful but it's a joyous thing. Take care.
Love,
Winston.
Hey little sister..
Wow, for someone who always has so much to say, I find myself at a lose for words, and wanting to be very quiet.. Lisa and I are both crying on the bed, and I find myself thinking..
Wow has it been so long.. 1991.. Such a bright little star she was..
I remember sitting on your couch holding her, playing with a squeakily toy frog, cause she seemed to like that at Sir Thomas Michelle Rd.
Or Singing her Metallica when she was crying, okay perhaps it was not as effective as Tori, but.. We work with what we have.
Love you very much Little Sister..
That is about all I can say little one, Love you very much..!
T & L
Kaela Elisa is looking down at us as we speak, she was strong and she would like to see her family strong and continue to celebrate the beautiful times you spent with her. We all miss her.
Thanks Donna,
You are a fantastic mum and aunty. I hope you liked my tribute to K
Thank you so much for your thoughts and kind words.
It means so much to be coming from three mums.
You never know exactly how much you are opening your heart up when you choose to have a child.
Even healthy children give mum's so much to worry about, as you would all know!
I am pleased I wrote the story, it was really nice to share :)
...but I would not have had it any other way :)
