Beer and burgers!!! Both excellent. The venue is rustic and superbly laid back. Good vegetarian choices (your vegetarians will make funny happy vegetarian noises here) so bring your vegetarian!

This place has lovely surroundings with a beautiful view. The atmosphere was really good, and the staff were very friendly and very helpful. They have both an outdoor and indoor play area for children, however the indoor play area could do with a little sprucing. Service was good, though there was a ridiculously long wait for the food. That being said the food was really good, one of the best burgers around. Thick juicy patties no shyness with the meat, well cooked. We had the Cheese Burger and the Bacon Mushroom Burger, i would personally recommend the Cheese Burger the taste was just too good, secret sauce. Plus is they have lovely select of beer on tap, with brewed ice tea and a gin and tonic on tap.

Having been enjoying their craft beers at other establishments we decided to visit the Brewery itself and were not disappointed.The variety of beers,the good food and friendly staff make it worth a visit.The quirky system of ordering meals works well.We had checked on Google before our first visit and were amazed at a really negative review managed to get such visibility, they obviously didnt visit the same place we did!

I visited the brewery restaurant around 11am and found it to be deserted. My intention was not to eat or drink beer but to buy for home consumption. The brewery sales shop was also not what I had expected. There was a little display fridge on the side of the shop with a relatively small display of beers. I found what I wanted so was not disappointed and the shop assistant was very helpful. There was one beer in the fridge I had not expected to see and if I recall not advertised online... Their CBD lager, a cannabis beer the shop assistant assured me contained a very small amount of cannabis, just enough to relax you. I left carrying a box of the beers I was looking for so my expectations were met. If I had arrived an hour later I would have been on time for a brewery tour, something I will not miss next time. They make some very decent beers here and I am always on the lookout for their beer when in the area.The place was not deserted for long however, a stream of cars entered as I was leaving, the place is rather popular I believe.Well worth a visit.

Chris, Petra and the team at Emerald Vale share awesome beer, delicious food and wonderful service. This is not fancy venue with airs and graces. Rather it is a salt of the earth type business providing good old fashioned customer service along with brilliant food and tasty, genuine craft ale. Thank you to the Emerald Vale team for an unforgettable two day visit.
