The Cheeky Pint transitions to local craft beer focus in Footscray

The Cheeky Pint, a venue located on Barkly Street in Footscray, has transitioned from its original model as a brewpub to a neighborhood pub focused on supporting local independent craft breweries. Under new ownership, the establishment no longer produces house-made small-batch brews but instead curates a selection of beers from regional heavyweights.

Recent tap offerings include local favorites such as Hop Nation’s Pale Ale and ‘Chop’ IPA, as well as Mountain Culture’s Australian Pale Lager. The venue also pairs its craft selection with elevated pub fare, such as Mexican parmas.
