The Foreigner Brewing Company

The smiles weren't for the camera, the beer was that good.

We don't go to breweries more than once very often, but it's hard to pass up taking new friends to Foreigner.

It's a pretty simple place. They have a few standard beers with three or four limited releases at a time. There's no kitchen but you'll get some pretzels if you ask nicely. You're surrounded by pallets, shelving, vats and all the brewing equipment. There's even an outdoor section in the carpark with a mish-mash of different salvaged furniture for enjoying the summer evening sunshine.

The place is often buzzing with regulars, some accompanied by their canines, others with personalised glasses.

Old mate behind the bar is incredibly friendly and will help you find a beer that you're going to enjoy.
