The Local Escape
Huskisson’s industrial estate accommodates a variety of Jervis Bay’s local businesses. Within a few streets, visitors can discover Flamin Galah Brewing Co., Jervis Bay Brewing Co., Jervis Bay Distillery, Jervis Bay Mussels and Wobbegong Dive Centre.
At the centre of the precinct is Flamin Galah Brewing Co., founded by Sam and Claire Hewson in 2018. Their Erina Road brewery combines a working production facility with a relaxed taproom, reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit that now defines the area.
Together, these businesses offer access to craft beverages, local produce, and marine experiences within the industrial estate.
The Deep Dive: Flamin Galah Brewing Co
The brewery occupies an industrial space featuring a charcoal corrugated-iron exterior. The adjacent courtyard includes a large pink-and-blue galah mural, overhead festoon lighting, and a central steel fire pit. Seating consists of long timber tables and pink stools, offering an open-air environment for visitors.
Inside, the venue maintains a visible brewing area and focuses on a core range of beers. The selection includes a Gold Medal XPA, which features citrus and passionfruit notes, and a Hazy Pale Ale with a tropical profile and low bitterness. The staff includes brewers and locals who are available to discuss the tap list with visitors.
Food is provided by The Nest, a permanent food van in the courtyard. The menu centres on casual street food, including crispy chicken bao, handmade pizzas, tacos, and reliable gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options.
The venue features level surfaces, wide pathways, and step-free access to accommodate prams, wheelchairs, and larger groups.
The Local Insider’s Edge
- Order food early. As The Nest operates independently from the brewery, kitchen service can wrap up earlier than the bar. Consider placing your food order when you arrive so you can relax and enjoy the afternoon.
- Afternoon Seating: The tables located near the fire pit and galah mural receive direct sunlight in the afternoon. Visitors looking for sun exposure during winter typically arrive before 3:30 pm, prior to the area becoming shaded by the adjacent building.
- Plan your transport ahead. Uber does not currently operate in Jervis Bay, and taxis can be difficult to secure during busy periods. If you plan to sample the tap list, organise a designated driver or pre-book local transport.
- Nearby Activities. The venue is located near the Moona Moona Creek walking track. Visitors often use this shaded route to reach the brewery for its midday opening.
- The takeaway fridge. Before leaving, check the retail fridge near the bar. Limited seasonal releases are often available there before they appear elsewhere.
- Bring the dog. Dogs are welcome inside and out but must remain on a short leash. Bringing a water bowl is recommended during warmer months, as the concrete courtyard retains heat.
Practical Logistics
Opening Hours: Flamin Galah trades Wednesday to Sunday from 12:00 pm. Closing times are generally 8:00 pm on Wednesdays and Sundays, and 9:00 pm from Thursday through Saturday. Winter hours may vary, so check social media before visiting.
Location & Parking: The brewery is located at Unit 8/5 Erina Road, Huskisson. Visitor parking is limited, and neighbouring businesses require clear access for machinery and deliveries. If designated spaces are full, street parking along Erina Road is the safest option.
Booking Info: Flamin Galah operates on a walk-in basis only. During long weekends, the courtyard frequently reaches capacity with locals and visitors. Current tap lists and live music schedules are available via the brewery’s website.
