It might be a few clicks up the motorway, but it’s well worth dropping into the Shore’s local craft brewery in Silverdale. Deep Creek was dreamt up by a few mates with a burning desire to bring handcrafted, flavour packed beer to the masses. And thank god they did. What started out as a ‘brew & eats’ pub in Browns Bay, had to quickly move into a custom built brewery once the word got out.

From their Steam Funk seasonal beer project to the Pontoon in a Monsoon India Pale Ale, their names are almost as flavoursome as the beers themselves. A word to the wise, go easy on The Lupin Effect, the gin and lime double IPA packs a delicious punch! Share a pint or two fresh from the source in the on-site tap room or fill up some riggers and take the goodness back home.
