Brew Tower Museum at Tribeca
Description
The Victoria Brewery was founded in 1854 and was a leader in the technological and scientific development of Australian brewing. Although the brewery closed in 1983 and the site was redeveloped for residential use, the external walls and the original brew tower remain, with much of the brewing equipment maintained as a museum. The site is heritage listed and is architecturally the largest and most significant brewing complex in Victoria.
What's On
Explore the brew tower and read about the brewing process and its history. The museum is spread over three levels of the original tower. Due to the industrial nature of the site, self-guided tours will be held at specific time slots during the day. Please note that, due to the 99-step stairway which gives access to the building, the site is not suitable for children under 12 years.
