Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great beer and food
Nice way to spend a sunny weekend afternoon. Unfortunately there’s no brewery tour on offer, would have loved to partake in one. The tasting paddle is a fun way to taste their range; I think their cider and pale ales are the standouts. The supreme pizza was very adequate and tasty, the rueben was ok but I’ve had better.

Love the DJ playing music at the front to add to the fun atmosphere.

Hawkers competes against big brewers
Hawkers Beer make craft beer that is popular with Australian drinkers. Hawkers make beers including IPAs, stouts and dour beer. Hawkers is made in Reservoir, which is a northern suburb of Melbourne, the capital of Victoria. Hawkers Beer has a good marketing strategy that appeals to local drinkers; many stores that sell alcoholic beverages sell cans of Hawkers Beer. The two major brewers CUB and Kirin compete against Hawkers. The Japanese-owned brewers sell around 80 percent of Australia's beer.

Great beers, seek them out
At the end of a lane off a back street, you can find it if you look. I came here and wandered into the bar. There were a good number of choices and I tried the Frenchy pale Ale. Selecting a table I noticed the many plaques on the bench seats. These were customers who had completed a 100 pint challenge. They had consumed 100 pints over time, staying faithful to the brewery. Impressive. Some had completed this 3 years ago. I enjoyed my beer. It was tasty and well priced.

Awesome Beer great vibe.
We went to Co-conspirators brewery for a few beers and were blown away by the ambience such a cool vibe. Staff are fantastic. Beer is great. Played some snooker. I was excited to see a Mr Charlie’s popup and can’t get over how good the chips and the not a cheeseburger were. Sooo good. We will be back.

Interesting selection
Twang is a micro-brewery and, by coming at a quiet time on Sunday, I was afforded a tasting, tour and tutorial. It was very interesting. I chose a Hazy Pale Ale. Note they do not accept cash. Only cards..
