Two Bays Brewing Co · Dromana

Why we’d go

The gluten-free claim gets people in the door. The pale ale and session IPA keep them there, the beer stands on its own without the qualifier.

Two Bays holds a genuine first: Australia's first dedicated gluten-free brewery, established in Dromana. For anyone who has navigated gluten-free options in beer, usually a short and disappointing list, this is the point of difference that changes the visit calculus entirely. But the more interesting story is that the beer is genuinely good regardless of what it doesn't contain.

The pale ale, lager, and session IPA are all well-made. The taproom is small and unfussy, a working room with tables rather than a hospitality concept, which is the right format for what Two Bays is doing. The food offer covers the basics: pizzas, burgers, charcuterie. Nothing elaborate, nothing that distracts from the beer.

Check the website for current hours before you visit, Two Bays runs a tighter schedule than the larger brewery operations on the Peninsula. Start with the tasting paddle to locate your range, then settle in if the table is working.
