George the IV in Picton

    The George the IV is located on the main street of  Picton toward the southern end and is quite unassuming with the front tables 1 step from the car park and with a nice view of the trees and creek next door. Going inside your greeted with an early Australianna type bar small and warm and the place to be on a cold winters night.

     The onsite brewery is in mothballs at the moment although there is talk of brewing there again it would take some commitment as it doesn't look like an easy place to brew, tight and compact.

     They offer 2 of their own brews, although they are brewed offsite in Sydney somewhere they are still enjoyable. They are,
     Scharers Bock at 6.4% a nice mild dark beer (could easily be used as an entry level beer for those who don't like dark beers. ) the alcohol is not apparent and I was glad that the bar maid pointed out that it is 6.4% as it wouldn't take many to put you over the limit and it's very easy to drink.
    Scharers Lager at 4.9%   Lightly hopped with a low malt taste, an easy drinking inoffensive middle of the road lager. 

    My pick - Bock       Wife's Pick - Bock    The 2 beers cost $9.90

    Brewery tours not available but you can look through the window.
