Channelling a cool industrial vibe, the former Church of St George is now a shrine to craft beer. Order a flight of five beers ($16), and partner the hoppy heaven with wood-fired pizzas ($25) or main meals ($26 to $34). Our favourite brews are the citrusy American Pale Ale and the regular seasonal specials. Tours must be booked ahead.
