We have always found the Forrest Brewery to be friendly with great food and beer. We manage three Airbnb type accomodation places in the area. Our guests consistently feedback very positive experiences. We love the rustic and authentic decor and how hard this business works...to be a bench mark for the region.More

Pleasant drive along Great Ocean Road.Booked inside bad move.Several menu items unavailable.Typical boutique beers-they try too hard,too many vatieties,too many dollars,not very good.Ordered mushroom burger,got awful chicken burger.Expensive food for what is produced.Desserts average. Suggest sit ouside,BYO wine try Rubin sandwich or the unavailable items.

Were hoping to have breakfast but the waiter looked down his nose at us and demanded to see our ID . Which I understand during Covid but don’t presume we are not from nearby . Went to General Store across road and had delicious breakfast....More

Was so happy to see that the brewery had vegetarian and vegan food options. Delish mushroom burger and mushroom bao buns. Also had some great beer - loved the sour!

I don’t do a lot of reviews for restaurants etc but the food here was SO good I felt I had to give them props. I had the potato and leak soup yesterday and it was the best soup I think I’ve ever had. I...had the gf bread with it which was also very tasty. My friends had the chowder, and brisket burger, and everybody loved their food. I will definitely be back!More

We stopped in after a local hike for lunch and beers. The staff were very friendly and gave enthusiastic advice on how to spend the rest of the afternoon. We ordered burgers (a beef and a chicken) and they were excellent with large sizes. Chips...were perfect. I had a stout which was great as well. Highly recommend.More

Pulled in on a crazy busy Easter Monday lunchtime without a reservation- front of house was super pleasant and quickly sorted out a table for us - food was awesome for all four of us - the untamed turkey was a great beer

Stopped in for some lunch after walking. Quite busy but got a table. Friendly staff, really yum food, great selection for Veg hubby. Lots of great flavours. Will definitely come back when next in Forest.

A perfect place for great local beers and excellent food. Service was speedy and friendly even though it was busy. The Boa Buns with pork belly were sensational; as was the generous serving of a salmon based pasta from the specials menu. I'd certainly be...classified a 'foodie' by friends and don't give undeserved praise. A strong recommend from me!More

Excellent spot for family meal. We had a group of 16 for lunch and the outdoor tables where perfect on a nice summers deal. The staff are friendly & efficient and the meals big, hearty and very tasty. We mainly had the burgers & fish...and chips. The beer selection is interesting with a taste for everyone.More

Came to the Forrest Brewing Company by chance after seeing the redwoods in the Ottawa’s. This is a little gem that serves good coffee, great beer (the stout was amazing) and surprisingly has a great offering of vegan foods alongside a great regular menu. We...shared the shiitake bao as a snack- lovely. Cute outside eating area and nice staff.More

The Forrest brewery is a well established set up offering great food, local wines and really good beers. The beers are all brewed on site, you can see the brew room through the window at the rear of the restaurant. There's ample seating inside and...out. The facilities are clean. There's plenty of mountain bike trails in the area and the brewery makes for a great place to finish a ride at.More
