CBCo Brewing

Went here walk in for lunch. Had sausage pizza, fries, cola and lager. There’s outside seatings ( a hit this summer, packed with people with their fur pals) and the indoor seatings. Outdoor seatings are well shaded, by the road (quiet road and no traffic) and indoor seatings are well spaced and clean. Staffs were great, quick service. Servings are very generous. The fries freshly cooked, well seasoned with dips, the sausage pizza, freshly cooked, and good for sharing ( me and husband sharing). The lagers were $6 a schooner happy hour. Prices were very reasonable and portions very generous. Order by QR or by the til. Prams ok outside and wheelchair, I didn’t see any ramp and there’s a few steps to go up the main shop. Parking sufficient by the road. Truly enjoyed the experience, def doing a cheeky stop after each trip to Bunnings at Port Melbourne in the very near future!

We had an amazing experience at the brewey! Our tour guide Chris led an amazing tour of the brewery and his knowledge on the beer was exceptional. Chris and the staff were very friendly and made the whole expierecne awsome! Food and drinks alongside our beer paddle went down like a treat! Highly recommend for an arvo drink and feed. Cheers! 🍺🍻

Ordered two burgers which came with fries and the 'Brewer's Paddle'. The 'Brewer's Paddle was a nice option to try five different tap beers; they were refreshing and goes well with the fries, favourite was the pale ale. The two burgers I tried included the 'Royale' and the 'Fillet-O-Shrimp'. The standard 'Royale' only included one smashed beef patty which was definitely not enough, should have added another patty. The potato bun was soft, slightly toasted with fresh lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles. Most of the flavour was from the burger sauce and vegetables, the beef patty didn't taste like it was seasoned. Also the bun was soggy halfway through, not sure if it was from the lettuce or tomato. As for the 'Fillet-O-Shrimp', the crumbed prawn patty was crispy and each bite was packed with pure prawns and no fillers. Texture was great but the prawn patty was a bit too salty for my liking which masked the natural sweetness of the prawns. Each burger came with a generous portion of fries which was crispy with a tasty cajun seasoning. But it would be nice if there was an option to order the burger on its own or with a different side especially if you are ordering multiple burgers.

Had sunday lunch here. Really nice place easy parking on the street. The place was very busy on Sunday so get down early. The burgers are delicious. The beer is so fresh and paired well with the food. Relaxing atmosphere with live music. Staff were friendly even when busy.

Great atmosphere. Came for Sunday lunch and the place was already busy, being a beautiful day and all. Pooches lined the outdoor tables. Came to try the shrimp burger and disappointed there wasn’t any popcorn cauliflower on the menu. Got the corn ribs instead. Both the burger + chips had a lot of seasoning which made it hard to finish my meal as I felt really salted out by the end of it. I understand the need for salt to get the shrimp to a cohesive texture and to form a certain bite, but it was over salted. The corn ribs were similar. So there was no respite from the salt apart from taking a good glug of ginger beer, which by the way was delicious.

I usually love their pizzas, but today I tried the special beef brisket pizza and it was absolutely heavenly! The flavors were amazing. I also really enjoyed their ginger beer, and every beer I’ve tried here has been fantastic. Highly recommend💕

CBCo Brewery in Port Melbourne is an absolute gem. The Notorious Fill O’ Shrimp Burger is a knockout – perfectly cooked shrimp stacked into a juicy, flavour-packed burger that’s both creative and satisfying. Pair it with one of their fantastic craft beers, brewed with the kind of balance and freshness CBCo is known for, and you’ve got a winning combo. The atmosphere is spot on too – spacious, relaxed, and buzzing with good energy without ever feeling crowded. Whether you’re here for a casual bite, a beer with mates, or to soak up the vibrant Port Melbourne vibe, CBCo delivers on all fronts.

My husband and I visited on Saturday for a brewery tour and tasting experience that I’d purchased at a charity auction. It was my first time visiting CBCo (though I’d definitely drunk some of their pale ale and cider over the years) and it’s been 5+ years since my husband last visited. Tiffany, the venue manager, took care of us for the entire tour and tasting experience and was a super star. Very friendly, knowledgeable about the brewery, awesome to chat with about the craft beer industry in general, and she looked after us with food recommendations and some extra additions to the tasting paddle to help us pick which beers to buy later. The venue was pumping at 2pm & it was great to see a mix of groups sizes, all ages & even dogs on the outside and tables enjoying the venue and the sunny winters day. Happy to visit again sometime, & also happy to learn that this is an independent craft brewery!
