Mountain Goat

About

Dave and Cam learned to be persistent. Really persistent. They finally secured the required funds from friends, family and a business banker who wanted them out of his face. Today the boys operate their very own microbrewery in Richmond (inner Melbourne). They craft the Hightail Ale, Organic Steam Ale plus seasonal beers in longnecks like the Surefoot Stout , IPA and Double Hightail. “The plant is very labor intensive, but we can squeeze great beer out of it” says Dave. “And after hand filling, capping and labelling just on 2 million bottles you can well imagine we’re pretty happy about putting in a small, automated bottling line.” Mountain Goat has collected a swag of awards over the years for their traditional, all natural ales and now has about 80 bars in Melbourne pouring their beers on tap plus bottled beer distributed nationally. So why Mountain Goat? Well, a mountain goat’s a big hairy animal that’s never gonna fall over.
