A great Father’s Day lunch should be enjoyed by the whole family. Give Dad a table with the family, a proper feed and time to enjoy a quality beer or cider at his own pace.
Coldstream Brewery sits at the gateway to the Yarra Valley, with a restaurant, full bar and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s an easy choice for local families, visitors coming through the valley and anyone heading out for the day. Give Dad what he’ll probably enjoy most, a good feed, a cold beer and everyone together at the same table.
A Fathers Day Lunch That Keeps it Easy
A brewery lunch gives the day one clear centre. At Coldstream, the family can settle into the restaurant, order a round and take time over the meal. Coldstream Brewery opens from Wednesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner, and bookings are encouraged.
Share Plates As Everyone Settles In
The best lunches usually start with a tasty treat. Garlic bread, spiced calamari or a Coldie Pilsner, Chicken Bites in the middle are a crowd pleaser.
Coldstream beer and cider also make their way into the food, including the Pilsner-marinated chicken bites and cider-marinated pork bao buns. Both work well for a family table because people can share them while everyone settles in and chooses a main.
Pub Favourites For The Main Event
Dad’s order might already be obvious. The Brewery Burger keeps things familiar, while the pulled pork burger uses pork marinated in Coldstream Apple Cider. Both are substantial options for someone who wants a proper pub lunch.
There are pizzas, parmas, fish and chips, steaks and other mains for the rest of the table. The Classic Chicken Parma keeps things familiar. Anyone arriving hungry can look towards a porterhouse, scotch fillet or pork ribs. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options are marked on the current food menu. Guests with allergies or specific dietary requirements should speak with the team, as the kitchen handles a range of ingredients. Families bringing children under 12 can also order from a separate kids’ menu with familiar meals.
Pick Dad’s Coldstream Pour
A Pint, A Cider Or A Tasting Paddle
Some Dads know their order before they reach the bar. Others want to see what’s pouring. Coldstream’s core beer range covers Pilsner, Golden Ale, Pale Ale, Porter and IPA, moving from crisp and easy-drinking through to darker malt and bigger hop flavour.
A tasting paddle gives a few smaller pours to compare across lunch. They can work out which beer suits them before ordering a pint, and everyone else can get involved in the verdict. The current drinks menu also includes light and alcohol-free beer options for the driver.
Coldstream’s cider range gives Dad another great option, with styles running from crisp Apple Cider to fruitier and sweeter pours. It’s made from Victorian apples without concentrates or powders.
See What’s Pouring From The Small Batch Kit
Ask the team about the limited-release beers made on site in the Back Bar microbrew kit. The small batch taps change, so Dad may find something that isn’t part of the regular line-up. That gives the lunch its own detail, especially for someone who’s already worked his way through the core range.
