Shedshaker Brewing

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 C

astlemaine 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.

Bendigo On The Hop is just 2 days away! We are very excited to be back at Black Swan Hotel Bendigo pouring our Festival beer - Birthday Cake Oat Cream DDH Double IPA. Absolutely the longest name for a beer we have had! We are celebrating 10 years of Shedshaker this year so we thought - let's make a beer cake, complete with vanilla essence. And yes, there will be sprinkles on top. And it had to be a Double IPA as we hit double digits.

Along for the ride is our beloved Celtic Red. An easier to drink beer you would have to look long and hard for.

Join a few of us tomorrow night at The Cambrian Hotel for the traditional BOTH kick off. Our gold-medal winning Mid XPA will be on tap for the sensible folks!

Thanks to Bendigo Beer for having us back at the Festival. It's gonna be a corker.

Still drinking boring, watery mid strength beers that are made by machines and owned by enormous Japanese companies but pretend they are Aussie? WHY? You know you don't have to right?

Try our gold medal winning XPA instead. Made by humans, in our own brewery. 100% Australian owned and operated.

Get it in good bottleshops or at our own online store: https://shedshakerbrewing.com/shop/ - we send it right to your door! 🍻

// GROWN HERE, WON HERE //

Congratulations to Shedshaker Brewing on their Melbourne Royal AIBA gold medal for Mid XPA!🥇

We asked Head Brewer Andrew how Galaxy® performed, with the response: “The Galaxy hops help give our XPA a nice welcoming aroma, which leads into a mid that actually has some taste. That was the aim – to not create another watery, boring mid."

Weekend coming, beer needed. Our takeaway fridge may look like your bog-standard display fridge (indeed, it is exactly that), but it does its one job - it keeps beer cold. If only the rest of the world worked like that... Anyway, if the Taproom is open, you can get our beer straight from here. In there are our West Coast IPA and Rye IPA - so you can celebrate today's International IPA Day!

And while you are collecting your fave brews, or making up a mixed pack, browse our tasteful selection of merch! T-shirts, hoodies, beanies, bar mats, and even vinyl records of artists who have played here await the discerning buyer. These make great gifts for that beer lover in your life. Or that could simply be you. Treat yourself dammit, you deserve it. 🍻

Get down to Camp this Saturday and watch the Pies take on the Strath Storm. Will be a challenge for our local lads no doubt but they are up for it!

While you are there, grab a can of our Pale Ale or Mid-XPA as well - local footy + local beer sounds like an excellent arvo!

Our senior women's and U18s are up against Eaglehawk this Friday night, while we play host in men's football and netball against Strathfieldsaye at the Camp on Saturday. Hope to see you on the sidelines! Let's go Magpies! ⚫⚪

When in Maldon (aka the People's Republic of Maldonia), we like to drop by and see Jay and the ace team at Maldon IGA Plus Liquor. They stock a great range of beers (inc our mates at Bendigo Brewing) and now... us. Hooray! Pale Hale, Hazy, Extra Stout, XPA, Pacific Ale and Choc Porter are making their way into the fridge there as this hits the algorithm... Cheers Maldon! 🍻
