WELCOME TO THE CITYSIDE BEER BELT
![Cityside Beer Belt Map](https://baysidebeerbelt.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Cityside-Beer-Belt-Map.png)
The Cityside Beer Belt is Victoria’s newest beer & spirit region, located in Inner Melbourne, just outside the CBD.
This incredible region is home to 13 breweries and 6 distilleries (3 that are both a brewery & distillery) spread across Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, Richmond, Abbottsford, Collingwood & Clifton Hill.
Each brewery and distillery is unique in their offerings, both beverages and food as well as venue vibes, aesthetics and hospitality. No two breweries/ distilleries are the same! We recommend visiting them all and deciding for yourself which one is for you.
Self explore or join one of our epic tours – either way you are in for a treat.
