When in the Hunter Valley it was a must to go and check out the Blue Tongue Brewery. Located in Warnervale, not far from the Hunter Valley Gardens, it was a convenient place to grab a beer and check out the place. The $120 Million establishment is quite modern and is amazing to look at when you turn up.

When we walked in the first thing I noticed was a lot of people were walking around with a paddle filled with many small glasses of beer. The first thing that you think when you see this is “I’m trying that”. So we’ve walked into the brewery and ordered up some tasting paddles. They were reasonably priced, and if you bring back your paddle, you are given a full sized glass of beer.

The beers were very tasty and refreshing. It was a bit unfortunate they were out of the ginger beer, however things like this can be expected during an Easter long weekend.
The Blue Tongue Brewery also had some delicious pies which had some unique flavors. There was a good range of snacks for people to choose from and the children enjoyed a bowl of wedges and played on the lovely grassed area happily. If you wanted a more formal meal the restaurant that they have will be able to provide this for you, however we didn’t have the chance to do this at the time though.
My tip – definately worth a visit while your in the Hunter Valley. It’s not all about wine you know. 🙂
