Stone & Wood brewery May lineup: Pacific Ale + the seasonal limited release

A 90-minute tour with 5 tasting beers from $45 remains the best value brewery experience in Byron.

Stone & Wood at 100 Centennial Circuit in the Byron Arts & Industry Estate continues to be one of the more reliably good ways to spend a couple of hours that doesn't involve sand or saltwater. The 90-minute tour (from $45) covers a welcome beer, the brewing deck walkthrough, and 5 beers on the tasting paddle including their seasonal limited release.

The tasting room also pours rotating one-off Pilot Batch beers brewed on-site. Pacific Ale, naturally, on draught throughout.

Tours must be booked (18+ only); check times on the booking page. The tasting room, beer garden and canteen (food by Romie's Kitchen) are walk-in; you can drink + eat without doing the formal tour.

For walking-or-cycling backpackers: 10 minutes by bike from town centre, 25 minutes on foot. The walk back is downhill which matters more than you'd think after a 5-beer paddle.
