Moo Brew’s nano brewery, Manky Sally’s, opened its doors in Hobart’s Salamanca Place four months ago in May of this year. Now, the team are going a step further, offering a behind-the-scenes peek with twice-daily tours and tastings.
Having poured 12,198 beers, kegged 5438L of Sally’s best, and served 553 bar snacks in vintage ashtrays over the past four months, Managing Director Lauren Sheppard and Head Brewer Jack Viney decided it was time to give people an inside look at the breweries inner workings.
“The crew at Moo are an inventive bunch. And, with almost eighteen years of beer ideas to work through, the smaller tanks at Sally’s allow us to take risks on brews with unexpected flavour combinations, such as Black Forest Stout, Pineapple Guava Sour and Yuzu Green Chilli Gose.
“We’re excited to offer an inside look. Letting people get up close is the next step in Sally’s evolution. We might even crowd-source some ideas—we know our punters have a visionary streak too,” said Viney.
The 30-minute guided tours and post-tour tasting paddle of four beers will allow guests to smell and taste various beers and see how they’re created in real-time.
“A motivator for Moo was to create a brew space and drinking experience unlike anything you’d seen before. Rifling through our museum’s warehouses for the fit out, designing a menu offering that complements the beers, and experimenting with the different Sally’s brews, we’ve created a unique destination that celebrates the very best of Moo Brew and Mona,” said Sheppard.
Ideally placed within walking distance to Mona’s ferry terminal in Hobart, Manky Sally’s experimental brews are now award-winning, with their Hazy IPA having just won gold at the Indies 2023.
