About Range Brewing Melbourne | Abbotsford Bar

Set along Lower Johnston Street, this sunlit Abbotsford taproom pours boundary-pushing Australian craft under open skylights. Booths stay packed with beer purists working through tasting rounds of 150ml pours. The draft list leans heavily into modern extremes—think tropical oat cream IPAs, heavily dry-hopped DIPAs, and sharp, mouth-puckering sours delivered straight to your table. There is no permanent kitchen here; instead, rotating weekend pop-ups sling burgers out in the back yard. Large front fridges keep fresh cans ready to stash in your bag on the way out.

  • Specialist Draft Selection: Rotating taps feature oat cream IPAs, DIPAs, and tart sours poured in 150ml tasting sizes or house measures.
  • Airy Taproom Atmosphere: Overhead skylights illuminate comfortable booth seating across an open, modern taproom space.
  • Pop-Ups & Takeaway Fridges: Backyard weekend pop-ups handle the food, paired with front entrance fridges stocked with takeaway cans.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on pour sizes, ordering, and food offerings for your visit

  • Navigate the Custom Pour Sizes

    Rather than traditional Australian pints or schooners, pours are categorized into 150ml tasting sizes or house 'small' and 'big' glasses, so ordering smaller tasting pours is ideal for sampling multiple styles.

  • Check for Pop-Up Food Vendors

    There is no permanent in-house kitchen; the venue regularly hosts independent pop-up food vendors like burger makers in the back yard, particularly on weekends.

  • Order at the Bar and Browse Takeaway Fridges

    Place draft drink and tasting orders directly at the main bar counter for staff table delivery, and browse the front entrance fridges on your way in or out if picking up takeaway cans.
