Seven Mile Brewing Co
Byron Bay
At a glance
Seven Mile Brewing Co is a craft brewery and taproom on Southern Cross Drive in Ballina, around 25 minutes from Byron Bay. The venue is designed for locals, visiting beer drinkers and groups looking for a relaxed place to drink beer where it is brewed.
The taproom focuses on small-batch releases alongside established favourites, with a rotating selection of beer styles. The range includes pale ale, West Coast IPA, cream ale, pilsner, sparkling ale, hazy beer, sour beer and darker ales, giving the venue a broad craft beer focus rather than a single signature style. Seasonal and limited releases add variety to the core range.
Food is provided through rotating food trucks, so the offering changes with the operator and event schedule. The arrangement gives the brewery a casual, flexible dining style that works alongside beer tasting and social visits. Food trucks also form part of the weekend atmosphere, rather than the venue presenting as a conventional restaurant with a fixed menu.
Weekends bring additional programming, including DJs, live local music and other brewery events. The atmosphere is social and easygoing, with the taproom set up as a place to catch up over a drink, try different beers and spend time with friends. The combination of beer, changing food options and live entertainment makes the venue suited to informal gatherings and relaxed weekend outings.
Seven Mile Brewing Co trades from Thursday to Sunday, with a shorter Thursday session and longer service from Friday through Sunday. The Ballina location is convenient for Northern Rivers visitors travelling by car, while private charters and guided brewery tours provide an option for groups wanting to make a brewery outing without driving between stops.
The venue suits craft beer enthusiasts, casual drinkers, groups and visitors interested in locally brewed beer with changing entertainment. Table bookings are available through the venue, and the taproom remains the central setting for sampling the range, following new releases and enjoying the brewery's rotating weekend program.
