Mash Brewing Swan Valley: What to Expect at One of the Valley's Original Craft Breweries

Planning your first trip to the Swan Valley? Mash Brewing in Henley Brook gives you fresh craft beer, a full kitchen and a laid-back beer garden, all about 30 minutes from Perth. This guide covers the brewery's story, the beer, the space, live music, Swan Valley brewery opening hours and the easiest way to get there.

The Story Behind One of the Valley's Original Craft Breweries

Mash is one of the Swan Valley's original craft breweries. The team brews award-winning beer on site and pours it fresh from the tanks. In a region famous for wine, that gives this Henley Brook brewery a character of its own.

Locals keep coming back for the beer, the food and the relaxed valley vibe. You get a bar, a brewery and a restaurant under one roof, so one stop can cover lunch, a few pints and a catch-up with mates.

House-Brewed Beer and Tasting Paddles

The tasting paddle is the best way to start. You sample beers brewed on site, from smooth session ales to bold seasonal releases. The brewing tanks sit just metres from your glass, so every sip comes straight from the source.

Not sure what to pick? The crew knows the range well and loves helping you find your next favourite drop. Try a paddle first, then order a full pint of the beer that won you over. From Monday to Thursday, Core Range pints drop to $10 between 4pm and 6pm, which makes a midweek visit even easier.

Food, Drinks and Weekly Specials

Good beer needs a good feed. The kitchen cooks hearty plates that pair with the brews, and the chefs build them on locally sourced produce. Check the Swan Valley brewery menu [anchor: Swan Valley brewery menu → https://www.mashbrewing.com.au/menu] before you arrive, so you can plan your order while you sip.
