Lovedale Brewery

From the heart of the Hunter Valley, at the Crowne Plaza the Lovedale Brewery is dedicated to creating the best craft beers in Australia.

Brewed lovingly by hand in small batches, each variant is designed to epitomise the local style, personality and people of the suburbs that make the Hunter Valley and Sydney great.
we source our beer from the finest, filtered hunter valley water, giving our brewmasters a blank canvas to create a vast range of beers from lagers to rich oatmeal porters. using a two-vessel mash kettle and lauter steam-powered premier stainless steel system, our talented brewmasters handcraft each brew.
four dedicated serving vessels serve the lovedale bar directly from the brewery, so our patrons are refreshed with every sip. the lovedale bar has a rotation of seasonal beers and our famous sydney cider on tap at all times.
the darling of the lovedale bar is lovedale lager. a traditional munich-style lager with a lovedale flair, the lovedale lager combines three types of german hops to create a smooth citrus aroma complimented by a slightly toasted malt backbone. a perfect pairing for the lighter dishes in our restaurant, lovedale lager evokes the verdant hills of lovedale. at the lovedale brewery, we pour every pint with pride, knowing that we refuse to compromise on the quality of our raw materials and process.
