If Black Brewing Co seems familiar, you’d be right! Formerly home to Saracen Estate and Duckstein Brewery, the space has now been rebranded as Black Road Brewing Co. Whatever your age, you’ll find something here to tickle your fancy.

The immense, modern building caters very well for families and large groups. There’s plenty of seating outside and in.

We popped in for a beer and to let Little Chef stretch his legs on the shaded playground.

Black Brewing Co is home to a cellar door, restaurant and a microbrewery. You can drink and dine inside the brewery, grab a table on the decked veranda that’s right on the dam or sit out in the green beer garden, by the play area. It had a lovely family atmosphere.

We didn’t eat on this day, we popped by for a drink. Black Brewing Co does offer a kids menu, as well as highchairs. Adults can expect a menu of share plates, charcuterie, and more mouth watering morsels using a lot of local ingredients. If you like a simple gourmet pizza with your pint, there’s plenty of topping choice.

The playground is lots of fun. Little Chef particularly loved the twisty slide and spinning cup (he has since he was a toddler!).

There’s lots to climb.

Little one’s will enjoy swinging on the nest swing. The area is fenced, but you may still want to keep a close eye on little climbers, with the dam being so close.

Kids will also love to walk over the bridge and explore the island. One of the brewery dogs joined us too!

We ordered our drinks inside at the bar and enjoyed them on the sunny deck – overlooking the beautiful dam. The beer is very good.

We enjoyed our brief visit to Black Brewing Co. I’d certainly return to try the menu. The massive venue has plenty of space for kids to roam and a lovely, family friendly feel.
