Freshwater Brewing Company

My favourite Northern Beaches brewery. Love it’s funky decor, and that it has female friendly drinks - hello watermelon margaritas! All around good vibe.
A great and easy spot to come with kids as well. Can’t wait to check out the new morning coffee and toasties.

That thunder bock is a 5 star easily. Wish I'd been able to sample more taps, will be back. Copped a 6 pack of freshies pils on my way out and it's delicious.

Food is bad and service is slow. They took almost 50min to serve 2 burnt cheese burgers, the only thing they have left in the menu for that day.
The place is otherwise nice so if you go just for a drink you should be fine.

A Very trendy and “New Age” Brewery. Doesn’t have the same aesthetic as other breweries in the area but a good place to go and have drinks. The beers selection is unique. Pretty good cocktails. Food was decent however not a lot to choose from.

I really liked their beer. Tried a couple of them and I can't really complain about any of them. The food was also above average and fairly priced. They even had a DJ playing on Friday night, however even though he was doing a good job, the place was lacking soul. Besides the atmosphere, this is a good choice of brewery in that area if you are looking for good beer in a not so crowded place.

Brilliant lagers and pretty bloody great IPAs as well! Strongly recommend a visit, kid and dog friendly! Beautiful brewery with a great design

Beers are great. Space is great. Food is pretty average and over priced. Maybe we were there on a bad day, but $34 for a pretty bare ploughman’s-like board with stale crackers isn’t amazing value for money. 5cent sized pieces of “house made tomato sauce” and mustard with the sausage roll as well.seem like silly things to skimp on.

The perfect place for our engagement party!
Freshie has such an awesome vibe and its modern and fresh take on the warehouse brewery scene meant that it was the perfect venue not only for after work drinks but our engagement party. The team were so easy to talk with and super helpful and flexible when it came to organising the event.
The beers are so good! And their range meant that there was something everyone loved. Food was also on point and they could cater for most dietary requirements like gluten free.
We could even bring two dogs in and they had the best time.

All in all would defiantly recommend checking out!
Thanks Jonny & the team

What a top new craft brewery. Super cool decor, great beer selection and the staff were really friendly. A great place for an after work bevvie or a quick fuel up before heading out for the night. Definitely get a ride share there as parking is pretty scarce. A great afternoon out thanks team.

Fantastic little brewery that delivers well above my expectations. From the outside the venue looks different from other breweries. Inside they have a wide range of well made beers and the food is a bit unique but very tasty. I left with a takeaway beers, so you can say I was happy with what they do!

With a choice of 14 top beers on tap, the guys a Freshwater looked at the CCR team:)
Check out the 5 paddle taster

The ploughman's platter was way below par it was 2 cheeses and salted butter plus a few crackers and pickled veg for $33. Very disappointed and we will never eat there again

Lovely staff, serving their own beers. But terrible venue management, they’re right next to the stadium for manly and it was over an hour wait on food, should’ve recognised the game on and put more staff on. Nice venue, lovely and helpful staff, but terribly organised and run. Really feel bad for the staff dealing with poor organisation from the management.

There's not many breweries around, where you can watch the kitchen crew cook from scratch your flatbread - to go with the in-house made hummous.

Beer was excellent, but there were a ton of screaming children which is not my jam. Maybe better on a weekend?

Awesome venue! We went for a private function. Beautiful interior, really great staff and good beer & wine!

Good beer! Great fries! Probably better when busy but a bit of a cavern atmosphere wise when you are the only 4 people in there.

Awesome brewery and such passionate team. Always moving and making sure it’s all running smoothly. I know this because we had our Christmas party here and they catered for our every need. Even though some of our guests got a bit roudy they accommodated for us and were really understanding. Their beer arrangement was next level and the margaritas went down a treat. Lots of space to move around but not echoe, bright and clean with a view into the kitchen if you want to watch your meal being made.
Thanks again boys and girls for bringing your venue to the beaches.
Keep up the good work.

Great beer but no way of contacting them by phone like the other breweries. It’s good to talk!
