Great to be in Epping this weekend...at Republic Tavern : A Melbourne hotelier has launched a new venue with a brewery and distillery in the Northern suburb of Epping. Currently the venue, home of Beer Republic Brewery and Twist Brewing, can fit up to 350 people, and includes accommodation on site. The distillery has been installed and will produce whiskey using barrels straight off the truck from the Clare Valley region. Whilst the whiskey is aging, the distillery will be used for gin production – but the beer is the focus first. On site they have six 10-barrel fermenters, each of those produces around 11-12,000 litres of beer per brewing cycle. They are the first venue to have a SmartBrew system in Victoria.
