It’s Our Shout

A shout out to Darlinghurst’s Dumplings & Beer who’ve just taken on O’Brien Premium Lager and Pale Ale.  We’ve no doubt their customers will thank them for it!  Try their Steamed Chicken & Lemongrass dumplings with an ice cold Pale Ale and let us know what you think.

The team at Mona Vale’s Rough & Bare believe food is fuel for a healthy life, and they live that philosophy every day.   Using top quality ingredients with creative flair, they don’t take themselves too seriously. Accompanied by a cold O’Brien Pale Ale or Premium Lager, what’s not to like!

Classic local pubs, White Cockatoo Hotel in Petersham and The Henson in Marrickville have just rewarded their customers by stocking O’Brien.  On a hot summer’s day (or any other day for that matter), pop in and quench your thirst with Australia’s most awarded gluten free beer.

Melbourne’s Hopscotch is the perfect place to unwind with friends.  Next time you’re looking for a great place to share a drink with mates, try this riverside pub.  And why not shout your mates a round of ice cold O’Brien Premium Lager – your body will thank you.

The Duke of Wellington is Melbourne’s oldest licensed pub.  The rooftop bar makes it the perfect place to meet mates before or after the footy, with the MCG only a short walk away.  Friendly staff, great decor and cold beer awaits you!

You know from the moment you walk into this that everything the guys at Beer Deluxe Melbourne do, they do for beer.  Take it from us, these guys know their stuff, and make their recommendations with confidence.  A diverse variety of beers are available on the ground floor and rooftop burger bar.  Check out the live music too!

A favourite of Nigella Lawson, umu has been part of the Bondi Beach community for more than 25 years – serving up delicious vegan and vegetarian food, organic beer and wines, fresh organic produce and groceries. Oh, and also ice cold O’Brien Pale Ale.
