    Have been shopping with Roger Sauer for a very long time at his previous shop and at Craft Republic since it opened. I used to regularly attend for a coffee, sausage roll and beer collection and have enjoyed the Saturday fortnightly deliveries as well. Roger has hundreds of beer available, with the majority being independent craft beer from Australia, Canada, NZ, UK and the US. It’s a great space with fridges full. Roger is always happy to offer suggestions.

    It is always worth the trip to Malvern East to see Roger at Craft Republic - simply the best range you'll find and if he doesn't have it it either doesn't exist or he'll get it. I could seriously spend all day there the range is that large and you can grab a little food and a coffee to keep you going on the search through all the beer - cant recommend this place highly enough.

    Dropped in to get some beers at this bottle shop in East Malvern and found an awesome bar. What a great idea, grab a beer from the fridge and sit at a table and drink it. They have a huge range of craft beers and their prices are really good. I tried the Mt Macedon Pale Ale and the Allamba Reserve, quite a kick.

    This is a very nice local bar, the boss and staff are very welcoming. I had a nice Margarita with my girlfriends. We usually have our girls night on Friday here. The price is very reasonably, we love it here. You also can order the food or bring your own food to the bar and enjoy the drink such a great placeβ™₯️β™₯️

    Great little craft beer and alcohol store. Pretty amazing selection, there's not much you won't find here. It's awesome that they have the front section where you can either enjoy one of the six tap beer selections, wine, cocktails or any alcohol you purchase in the store for very little extra corkage cost. Tap rotation seems to change regularly too and have some great selections on it - currently enjoying one of the 2 Brothers IIPA options and previously there's been some other awesome options. More people need to come here for work knock offs or predrinks before going into the city on the tram which is literally outside the front of the place.

    Our regularly Friday night destination. Always very welcoming and a great selection of drinks. Being able to bring your own food in to eat makes it the perfect place to go to relax after work. Bring in a pizza and grab a beer or wine and you’re all set. Perfect setup.

    Great asset to the community, bringing an up and coming vibe but still catering to the masses. Well priced, great range, something for everyone. Sit and sip or take away. And most importantly, dog friendly! Felix and his team are just legends.

    Great craft beer shop, amazing selection of beers. It’s great to go in to get your favourites, but when you go in there’s always something new and completely unexpected! I’ve never seen such a great selection of Australian craft stouts!

    Went out of my way to pick something up and they were closed even though their website, google and the sign on the window said they would be open. Result of poor management

  • 5/5 Edward D. 4 months ago on Google
    Top place, top service. Great selection of beers and plenty of seats to enjoy them.

  • 1/5 Harry S. 11 months ago on Google
    Gone is the soul of this once fine establishment. The newsletter is no longer distributed in English, the beers no longer craft. Death of a Malvern East Icon.

  • 5/5 Paul H. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant range of local craft beers with very helpful staff.

  • 5/5 Daniel R. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best beer selections in Melbourne. Added bonus, most of the stock is in the fridge, ready to drink. Prices are reasonable also.

    OMG is all I can say. This is an absolute ripper lil store for any beer conisoir out there. This wee store is jammed packed with tasty liquid treats for any person who wants to be browsing in craft beer heaven. Great service with a couple of lads that know there products. If your in the area check it out. You'll be glad that you did.

  • 5/5 Steven G. 3 years ago on Google
    Great range with plenty of new beers to try, and the reliable free delivery has been a godsend during lockdown because I don't have any decent craft beer shops within 5km! Thanks for the great service.

    Range / service / customer service and location. Fabulous venue!

😐 Food tastes great πŸ‘ they sure love their spices and I like the kick of it. Fish and pork tacos were great but chorizo taco wasn't good because of the rubbery texture skin.
