INFUSION Bar and Restaurant Campbelltown

InFusion's  Brewery

     InFusion is the place to go if you want a quiet Beer with no distractions. Based in the ground floor of the Ridges Hotel in Campbelltown the bar is sterile and quiet, like the reading room of a local library.

     This leads you to sit and stare at the glass walled brewery hoping for something to happen. The brewery usually operates on a Wednesday, unfortunately the head brewer (according to staff some bloke called Al) was on holidays when we were visiting and we were not able to get much info.

InFusion brews 4 Beers in house and at $5.50 a schooner not bad value
Macarthur Wheat - A German styled wheat Beer that is pale golden, slightly sweet and spicy, very silky and leaves you wanting more. 4.8%
Appin Ale - With a low hop taste and long bitterness that stays on the tongue and a pale amber colour I think this Beer was served too cold, a bit warmer and more aroma and taste would be there. Doesn't call you for a second. 4.8%  
Fishers Ghost Lager - With a light golden colour and lots of citrusy  taste, this Lager leaves you with malty end notes and lingering bitterness. A very nice drop indeed. 4.8%
Razorback Ale - Light and watery with a malt taste at the end this dark amber brew feels like a small Beer, the second or third runnings from the mash. Disappointing.

     The food is excellent and every course bought something new and very tasty and for under $150 for 2 people and 4 courses including drinks not bad value. No food / Beer pairings were recommended.

My vote  -  Macarthur Wheat      Wifes vote - Fishers Ghost

There was no info on brewery tours but you can look through the window.
