Perth's brewing scene has settled into something worth planning a day around. There are riverside beer halls, a Fremantle strip you can walk end to end, and a Swan Valley run where the drive between stops is half the pleasure.
The list below is grouped by where the breweries actually are, because that is what decides whether you can string them together. Addresses are included for the same reason.
In the city
The Island, Elizabeth Quay
The Island sits in the Florence Hummerston Building right on the Quay, with the water on one side and the city behind it. Beer is brewed on site, and the alfresco setup is the draw — it is one of the few places in Perth where you are drinking a house beer with a genuine view.
Address: Florence Hummerston Building, Elizabeth Quay, Perth
Northbridge Brewing Company
Northbridge Brewing Co has been a fixture on Lake Street long enough to stop being the new thing and start being the reliable one. Beers are brewed on site, the beer garden opens onto the Piazza, and there is usually something on midweek — quiz nights, live music, a DJ on Saturday.
Address: 44 Lake Street, Northbridge
The Old Brewery, Mounts Bay Road
The site has been brewing on and off since the original Swan Brewery opened in 1877, which makes it the oldest address on this list by a century. It now trades primarily as a steakhouse rather than a brewpub — the Riverside Brewhouse microbrewery that once operated here has closed. Come for the building and the river frontage, and check what is pouring before you make it the beer stop.
Address: 173 Mounts Bay Road, Perth
Fremantle
Two of these are a short walk apart, which makes Fremantle the easiest brewery afternoon in Perth if you would rather not move a group by road.
Little Creatures
Little Creatures on the Fremantle waterfront is the one everyone in Perth has been to at least once. It is a large warehouse-style hall, it is busy on a Sunday, and that is rather the point — the scale of the room is part of the experience.
Address: 40 Mews Road, Fremantle
The Monk
The Monk opens onto the South Terrace cafe strip and brews in small batches, with a rotating limited release alongside the core range. Quieter than Little Creatures and about a ten-minute walk away, so the two work well as a pair rather than a choice. Its own website has gone offline, so there is nothing reliable to link to here — the brewery itself is very much open.
Address: 33 South Terrace, Fremantle
Leederville
Otherside Brewing
Formerly Nowhereman, Otherside Brewing is tucked into a West Leederville street and leans towards fresh, hop-forward beers. The kitchen runs seasonal dishes rather than a fixed menu, so it rewards asking what is good today.
Address: 25 Harrogate Street, West Leederville
Burswood
The Camfield
The Camfield sits on the edge of Optus Stadium and is built for volume — it is one of the largest pubs in the country, with a tap list to match. On an event day it fills early and empties all at once, so either arrive well before the crowd or come on a day with nothing on.
Address: 1 Roger Mackay Drive, Burswood
The Swan Valley
The Valley is the one that genuinely needs transport sorted. The stops are spread out, the roads are rural, and the whole appeal is not having to nominate a driver.
Mash Brewing, Henley Brook
Mash has been brewing at Henley Brook since 2006 and supplies its sister venues from here. Unusual flavour combinations are its habit rather than a gimmick, and the kitchen holds up on its own.
Address: 10250 West Swan Road, Henley Brook
Homestead Brewery, Caversham
Homestead Brewery sits within Mandoon Estate, which means a brewery, a winery and a lot of lawn on one site. Big, bold beers, family-friendly, and the easiest stop on a Valley run to bring people who are not there for the beer.
Address: 10 Harris Road, Caversham
Baskerville Tavern
Feral Brewing ran its brewpub at this address for nineteen years and closed it in October 2021 when the lease ended. The site did not stay quiet: it reopened as Baskerville Tavern under one of Feral's original founders, brewing on site under the Slumdog name alongside guest taps. Feral beer itself is still made — the brand is now owned by Nail Brewing and Beerfarm — you just cannot visit it here any more.
Address: 152 Haddrill Road, Baskerville
Getting a group between them
The city and Fremantle stops are walkable in clusters. The Swan Valley is not, and that is where most brewery days come unstuck — someone volunteers to drive, then spends the afternoon watching everyone else.
We run minibuses and coaches from 13 seats up, with a driver who knows the Valley roads and will wait while you finish. Tell us the stops and the numbers and we will build the run around them, including the ones that are not breweries — plenty of groups pair two or three with a winery or lunch.
