Craft Brewery & Taproom, Forster
About the Brewery
The Coastal Brewing Company is an independent craft brewery and taproom in Forster-Tuncurry on the Barrington Coast, NSW. We brew a rotating range of fresh craft beer onsite, from hazy pales and juicy NEIPAs to crisp lagers, IPAs, dark beers and alcohol-free beer.
Our beer names are inspired by the beaches, lakes, national parks and local places of the Barrington Coast.
Visiting the brewery taproom
Our taproom is located at 3 Dalman Street, Forster. Visit for award winning beer by the glass, tasting paddles, takeaway cans, growlers and squealers, brewery tours, pizza and regular events.
Whether you are a long-time craft beer drinker or simply looking for something good to drink while you’re in Forster, there’s always something new pouring at Coastal Brewing.
Alcohol free beer (brewed on site), local cider, gluten free beer, local gin and local wine as well as a range of local soft drinks are also available in the taproom.
As well as cans and cartons we also sell (and fill) ‘growlers’ and ‘squealers’ of beer for takeaway and yes, we also fill home brew 'corny' kegs !
The taproom also offers pizza (including gluten free and vegan options) and visiting food trucks, with outdoor seating and parking available. Dogs are welcome both inside (as long as house trained) and outside.
