Ministry of Beer

The Story of a Barossa Valley Brewery

A Barossa Valley Brewery

Welcome to Ministry of Beer, a proudly independent Barossa Valley brewery based in Lyndoch. What began as a passion for barrel-aged sour beer has grown into a vibrant brewery and cellar door, shaped by time, patience, and a genuine love of craft brewing. This is where our story comes together — from the first barrels to the venue you can visit today.

Our Craft Brewing Commitment

Quality sits at the core of everything we brew. At Ministry of Beer, each beer reflects a hands-on approach, thoughtful experimentation, and a respect for traditional brewing methods. From long-aged sours to our evolving core range, every release showcases our dedication to flavour, balance, and character — all brewed in the heart of the Barossa Valley.

Relive Our Journey

From humble beginnings to a diverse and carefully curated range of beers, Ministry of Beer continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. We invite you to explore our journey, discover our beers, and experience what makes our Lyndoch brewery a destination for craft beer lovers.

Cheers to the past, the present, and everything still fermenting
