As a result, the Lyndoch taproom solidified its place as a beloved destination for both locals and visitors alike.
The venue itself was adorned with thick wooden beams, barrels, and grapevines, creating a welcoming beer garden. Furthermore, the ingenious transformation of the bank vault into a cool room emphasized the brewery’s character.

Locals and travellers alike flocked to enjoy the unique offerings and warm ambiance. As the taps flowed and the cool room hummed, Ministry of Beer entered a new era that beautifully balanced tradition and innovation in the heart of South Australia.
