Your guide to Darwin's breweries and distilleries
Cool off with a refreshing craft beer or gin
Your visit to NT isn't complete without experiencing some uniquely Territorian beer and spirits. Over the last few years, independent brewers and distillers have started crafting delicious concoctions around Darwin using local ingredients.
Find out where you can get a taste of Darwin at favourite local breweries and distilleries.
Willing Distillery
This family-owned distillery curates traditionally distilled spirits with an emphasis on native Australian flavours. With gin as the lead spirit, Willing Distillery has plans to produce vodka and whiskey in the future.
Take a tour of the distillery, enjoy gin tastings, or sit back at the bar with a truly Territorian cocktail - we'd recommend the Bush Negroni or Tropicale which features Mango Shrub and Kakadu Plum.
You can find Willing Distillery in Winnellie, just a short 5 minute drive from Parap and 10 minutes from the CBD.

Beaver Brewery
In the inconspicuous back streets of Coconut Grove, this micro-brewery has become a local favourite for Friday arvo drinks.
Owned and operated by the Brown family, Beaver Brewery is founded on a shared passion for brewing handcrafted beer and a love for relaxed outdoor vibes.
For something extra refreshing, try the Passionfruit Ale or Alcoholic Lemonade. You can also grab a bite to eat from the rotating food trucks.

Charlie's of Darwin
Located in the Darwin CBD, Charlie's of Darwin is a distillery, bar and restaurant all rolled into one.
From the onsite distillery, expect Territory gins featuring local botanicals like Water Lilies, Native Lemongrass and Kakadu Plum.
Charlie's is loved for its vibrant atmosphere. You can sip on a cocktail in the Alfresco area overlooking Raintree Park, or relax in the chesterfield lounge before enjoying a 4-course meal with matching beverages.

One Mile Brewery
Brewing out of a spacious shed in Winnellie, One Mile Brewery serves easy to drink craft beer. The vibrant industrial-style brewery is a little taste of Melbourne in the heart of Darwin's industrial area.
The One Mile story started in the Darwin backyard of Stuart Brown and Brady Bayram. As passionate home-brewers, they experimented with making an assortment of beers, ales and stouts. After realising that Darwin was lacking locally produced beer, they fled the nest and opened One Mile.
One Mile Brewery is open on Thursday and Friday nights, and all day Saturday. Grab a pizza and a brew for a chilled out afternoon amongst Darwin locals.
