CHIFLEY Doveton’s own ale is now on the menu.

The first brew from the hotel’s micro brewery was served up last week.

Manager Tony Tantaro sampled the signature ‘Cold Water Creek Pilsner’ beer on Thursday, saying it was “tasty”. Mr Tantaro said it took a day to brew the beer and then six weeks for it to mature.

The Chifley Doveton is holding a week-long brewers course at the hotel in June for those wanting an insight into the complete process of brewing beer.

Anyone interested can call the Chifley Doveton on 9771 6000.
