Welcome to Cubby Haus Brewing

Our Beers

We create beer styles from around the world. Our award winning beers are different; We don’t always follow the pack. We love a malt forward beer and also make lighter fruity styles as well as more modern types. With 6 core beers, many seasonals and an ever expanding repertoire of new styles, we have a beer for every season.

The brew house is capable of producing multi-stepped brews and traditional decoctions giving us the flexibility to produce beers true to style and naturally conditioned. All our beer is chemical free.

A nice microbrewery in Ballarat with a great selection of beer. I love their labels and it made it hard, what cans to take home. While the place is quite basic, it’s certainly not one to miss….

This is a great place with awesome beers. Well worth a visit, it’s out of the way but definately a must for craft beers. You have to try the show cooked ribs with slaw and pickles, or a pizza. Great selection of music of you’re from my era there’s a free play pinball machine you can play till your heart’s content. It’s right next door to the smash, escape rooms with axe throwing, so make a day off it with your mates.

Dropped in briefly to Cubby Haus after a tip from nearby The Grapes Hotel. Thoroughly enjoyable even for such a brief visit. Tried the Stout and found it pleasing. Bought a t shirt and found it fit. Enjoyed the music and the service from Malcolm the barman/ brewer. Do call in if you have the chance.

Wow! What a cool place to find in the back end of Ballarat.. I love a someone that is passionate about beer, pizza but most of all the customer. I would recommend the saison and stout, not taking away from the other 8 brews Malcom has on tap. Very much a place that all real beer drinkers should visit and have a beer and a chat to a man that’s very much built this brewery from scratch!!

Very nice beers and the host/brewer/owner is great. Wonderful stop on a blustery day for a toasting and great brew. Dogs had fun with new canine friends too.

We just knew we were going to experience a boutique brewery upon entry (such was the size). We weren’t disappointed in any way. The service was friendly, prompt, and informative. The pizzas we had were very, very, good with the dough made with the house brewed IPA as an ingredient. The beers are very unique, and delicious! We bought 2 mixed slabs, very affordable, along with our splendid lunch and tasting paddles of 5 beers, no less. Recommended by a bunch of Mordialloc home brewers!
