Shedshaker Brewing Shedshaker beers are hand-crafted in sunny Castlemaine - a vibrant, creative community in the goldfields of Central Victoria. Come and try for yourself at our Taproom, where we have 12 beers on tap alongside a range of locally made wine and spirits. Try our delicious Italian-based menu featuring sumptuous pastas and our famous pizzas and stay for the live music we have on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. You are always welcome at the Taproom.

In the 1850s Castlemaine was home to over 20,000 diggers seeking to make their fortune on the Central Victorian goldfields, and some 20 breweries helping them wash away the bitter pill of disappointment. By the early 20th century, all the breweries were gone...and so was the gold. In 2014, we thought it was high time to bring beer back to Castlemaine. And we struck gold with the formation of the Castlemaine Brewing Company. Same people, same passion, same commitment to small batch, hand crafted beer. Castlemaine Brewing Company then become Shedshaker Brewing. At Shedshaker we reckon a good beer is one of life’s great pleasures. We want to bring that excitement and joy to everything we do, especially when it comes to making fresh beers with satisfying and distinctive flavours. Let’s drink to that.

TODAY - 5PM - FREE ENTRY

Settle in for a chilled Sunday session with Jhana Allan.

Her forthcoming single You Got The Eyes is a mandolin-driven slice of country-folk with warm vocals, a little swagger and a wry take on unwanted infatuation. When someone’s gaze is just too intense, there’s only one answer: sunglasses, day and night.

Jhana Allan is a talented multi-instrumentalist and songwriter inspired by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Laura Marling, Jhana brings a wealth of musical experience and a beautiful folk sensibility to her songs.

She’ll be playing two sets with the brilliant Tim Merrikin on bass.

We sent our crack brew team down to Bridge Road Brewers Brunswick today with some of the finest Castlemaine Honey to make a b**r for you fine people.

With orange peel and honey, what do you think we are making? Choose wisely...
a) Classic Belgian Witbier
b) Cure for a Sore Throat Quadruple IPA
c) Breakfast Juice Imperial Marmalade Sour

Absolutely no prizes for guessing right...

Look out for our launch of this collab b**r in early November, at our Taproom and also at Bridge Road's Brunswick venue.

THURSDAY 8TH OCT - Katy Steele is bringing her UNDRESSED tour to The Tappy, with an intimate live show that strips the songs right back to voice, piano, guitar and nothing to hide behind.

Expect songs from Little Birdy, her solo work and her new limited-edition Undressed album, including beautiful takes on Patti Smith, Lou Reed and Michael Jackson.

Supporting Katy is Melbourne indie-pop singer-songwriter SIDNEY, whose emotionally honest songs have racked up millions of streams and seen her share stages with Angus & Julia Stone, The Rubens and others.

Raw, honest and unfiltered. This should be a beautiful night.

New customer in the inner East! Far Side B**rs in Hawthorn are the latest venue to come on board the good ship Shedshaker - the Pils L***r is a perfect addition to their great selection of independent brews. Perfect for a palate cleanser or a refreshing draught on a warm sunny day. When they happen. šŸ˜‰

Oktoberfest is happening at The Tappy on SUNDAY, and we’ve got an interesting line-up since you can’t be at the real thing.

At 3PM, Castlemaine favourites Thompson’s Foundry Band are back for another oompa extravaganza. B**r and brass, what could possibly go wrong?

The Thompson’s Foundry Band have been part of Castlemaine life for more than 140 years, so you really should come down and experience them in all their glory.

And yes, there’s B**R. Our Dark L***r is back for Oktoberfest. It’s a proper Schwarzbier, and it’s just $10 A PINT ALL DAY.

Then from 5–7PM, we have a couple of guys that sound like they’re straight out of Game of Thrones. Sirs Grim Fawkner & Alister Turrill take over with murder ballads, doomed love songs, country-folk bangers and harmonies that may well cause your heart to grow another tiny heart.
