Lyndoch Taproom

The opening of the Lyndoch taproom in 2021 marked a pivotal chapter in Ministry of Beer’s story. As the brewery matured, Brett Reimann expanded operations beyond the family property, introducing a hop field, a canning line, and an ever-growing barrel collection. American oak, French oak, and ex-whisky barrels now form the backbone of the brewery’s aging program.

Housed in a beautifully restored former bank building, the Lyndoch taproom quickly became a gathering place for craft beer lovers. With 16 taps pouring a broad range of styles — from crisp pilsners to barrel-aged sours — the venue offers something for every palate. The addition of a kitchen allowed the team to serve Flammekueche, a German-style flatbread pizza that has become a customer favourite and a perfect match for the beers.

Inside, thick timber beams, barrels, and grapevines create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the former bank vault has been cleverly transformed into a cool room. Outside, the beer garden offers a relaxed setting for locals and visitors alike.

The Lyndoch taproom represents more than just a physical expansion. It reflects Ministry of Beer’s deep connection to the Barossa community and its ongoing commitment to blending tradition, innovation, and hospitality in the heart of South Australia.
