Tiny Mountain Brewery
We celebrate the big, the small and everything in-between. Just like our Castle Hill. A beautiful lump of heritage-listed pink granite that looms over our landscape. A hill… that’s just a few metres short of being a mountain. Now that’s worth celebrating. Because it’s our Tiny Mountain. Our beer is made for drinking. Simple.
