If you are planning a visit to the Fairway Motor Inn and wondering what there is to do, fear not, because the South Coast Ale Trail starts right here in Pambula.

It’s only a 5 minute drive to Longstocking Brewery where you will be able to indulge in your first feast of fresh Broadwater Oysters, Wood Fired Pizzas and of course tasty craft beer. We recommend the Sapphire Coast Ale which is a mid-strength pale ale which goes perfectly with the oysters, but if you prefer something stronger, try their Vienna Lager or Dark Lager which go great with the pizzas. If you don’t like beer, you can also try some local Vodka from Nine Circles Distillery.

Next stop is Camelrock Brewery and bistro which is just north of Bermagui at Wallaga Lake. They serve up American style diner food with classics like Chicken Wings, Burgers, Ribs, Pizzas, Tacos and Subs.  You can wash it all down with a nice crisp lager or Pale Ale, or maybe even a margherita.

Just a bit further North and you will be in the Heritage listed town of Tilba. The jewel in the crown is the Dromedary Hotel which is the home of Tilba Brewing Co. The Drom is over 120 years old and has all the charm of yesteryear with a modern Gastro Pub menu from Head Chef Luke Sankey who began his cooking career in London working at various Michelin-starred restaurants. Of course you will want to include some of the beers with your meal and we recommend the Prospectors Amber Ale which is a smooth copper-toned ale with malty caramel and biscuit flavours.

All of these breweries are easy drives from your base here at Pambula, however the Ale Trail stretches for more than 370kms along the South Coast of NSW.  So if you want to travel further allow yourself a few more days to soak it all in. As they say, the South Coast is not a destination, it's a journey. Enjoy !
