BlackFont Brewhouse is Sydney’s Closely Kept Beer Secret

We’ll be the first to admit, that even we might be a bit late to the party on this one. Beer fanatics across the Harbour City are likely shaking their heads in disappointment at the thought that we weren’t in tune with this local brewhouse sooner. But you’re going to have to cut us some slack here because as the saying goes, it’s better late than never! Located in trendy Marrickville, amongst the ever-growing sea of Sydney based craft breweries, lies a brewhouse that likes to do things a little differently. Save for lack of space, BlackFont Brewhouse is home to some of the best beers in Sydney and they’re more than happy to host you with an exclusive tasting session twice a week. But don’t round up the lads yet, this beer-sesh is limited to 8 people, by appointment only.
