Why it's worth checking out
2 Halfs Brewing & Distilling sits on Stokes Avenue at Alexandria, an inner-city Sydney suburb known for its mix of industry and a thriving craft food-and-drink scene. A much-loved brewery and distillery, it's earned an outstanding reputation — combining quality craft beer and spirits made on site with a relaxed, characterful taproom atmosphere, the kind of in-the-know spot that craft lovers seek out.
The appeal is that combination of genuinely good house-made beer and spirits, a relaxed taproom setting and a convenient Alexandria location, ideal for a tasting, a few craft drinks with friends or a relaxed session. For anyone who loves craft beer and spirits, a producer making the lot on site is a real draw, and the near-perfect feedback speaks to a spot that's genuinely delighting its visitors.
A 4.9 rating from more than 140 reviews is an excellent result and a strong sign of a well-loved, well-run venue. The beer and spirits range, any food, tastings, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular taproom gets busy over weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for quality craft beer and spirits in a relaxed setting, it's well worth heading to 2 Halfs at Alexandria.
