Love was in the air… and apparently so was Marylin. 🍻💍

Huge congratulations to Mel & Rod on tying the knot and celebrating their wedding recovery with us today at Small Batch! After arriving in absolute style with the legends from Rocking Retro Rides, the beers were cold, the laughs were loud, and the recovery session was very much “doctor recommended.” 😉

If you spotted a glamorous vintage ride cruising around Mudgee this weekend… now you know why.

Thanks for choosing Small Batch for the celebrations legends — cheers to a lifetime of love, laughter and very questionable dance floor decisions. ❤️🍺

So this happened tonight. Wow!

🎉 Congratulations to Small Batch Brewery and Hop Farm - winners of the Excellence in Micro Business Award at the Western NSW Business Awards 👏

Combining paddock-to-pint brewing with agritourism, this family-run business continues to grow while delivering a standout local experience.

This award recognises a business with 5 employees and under that has effectively driven growth.

Anton & Amanda couldn’t be with us tonight, but we’re raising a glass to you - congratulations! 🍺✨

🚫 CLOSED SATURDAY 16/5 🚫

This Saturday the brewery is off the market… because our legends Mel & Rod are taking over for their wedding after party celebration 🍻💍

We’ll be pouring beers, celebrating love and likely witnessing some questionable dance moves deep into the evening.

We’re still OPEN as normal:
🍺 Friday — normal trading hours, lunch available
🍺 Sunday — normal trading hours, lunch available

If you see these two wandering around Mudgee beforehand looking slightly stressed, over-caffeinated or arguing about seating charts… buy them a beer and point them gently toward the brewery ❤️😂

Please join us in wishing Mel & Rod an epic celebration!

– Team Small Batch

Today we’re raising a beer to the absolute powerhouse behind so much of what makes Small Batch what it is — Amanda ❤️

From juggling the chaos behind the scenes, helping bring crazy ideas to life, keeping the wheels turning, welcoming guests, wrangling family life and somehow still making it all look effortless… Small Batch simply wouldn’t be Small Batch without her.

She’s the calm in the storm, the organiser of organised chaos, the unofficial CEO of “have you remembered to do that yet?”, and the glue that holds this little farm brewery dream together.

Happy Mother’s Day to Amanda and to all the amazing mums out there doing the hard yards every single day 🍻🌸

We reckon you deserve at least one cold beer today. Maybe two.

— Anton, Anya & the Small Batch crew ❤️

Next weekend at Small Batch Brewery & Hop Farm… things are getting dangerously decadent. 🍫🔥

Our brand new Pastry Stout lands on the taps featuring:
🥛 Dulce de leche
🍦 Vanilla
🍫 Spencer Cocoa nibs

All wrapped up in a silky smooth 6% stout built for cool Mudgee nights and serious dessert-beer lovers.

Think liquid caramel slice, chocolate ganache and a late-night stout had a very irresponsible but delicious love child. 😏

Rich. Creamy. Chocolaty. Sticky in all the right places.

Launching next weekend at the brewery. Limited release only — once it’s gone, it’s gone.

📍 Budgee Budgee, NSW
🍺 Fresh pours
🍜 Bao2Mi serving lunch
🔥 Fire pits, country air & stout season officially activated

Mums deserve flowers… but let’s be honest, this year they deserve berries and beer too 🍓🫐💐

Introducing our special Mother’s Day release — a luscious berry marshmallow sour loaded with strawberry, blackberry, blueberry and raspberry, finished with a pillowy marshmallow twist. Fruity, fluffy and dangerously smashable.

Think berry pavlova meets Sunday arvo drinks in the sunshine. 🍻

Available this Mother’s Day weekend at Small Batch Brewery & Hop Farm, Budgee Budgee — because socks and candles are officially cancelled.

Bring Mum out for beers, Bao2mi lunch, farm vibes and a cheeky tasting paddle. Limited release only until sold out.

Sunrise magic at Small Batch this morning… and then this happened 🎈🎈

Two hot air balloons lifted off right from the brewery paddock, drifting quietly over the hop rows as the valley woke up. Not a bad way to start a Mudgee morning.

Coffee in hand, crisp air, and a front-row seat to something pretty special — just another reason we love calling this place home.

Big shoutout to the legends at Balloon Aloft for the double sunrise show 🙌

If you needed a sign to slow down, sip something local, and soak it all in… this is it.
