Loch Brewery & Distillery is located at 42-44 Victoria Road, Loch, Victoria 3945 in the Gippsland Hills. It’s where owners Craig Johnson and Mel Davies spend their days creating delicious whisky, white spirits, and hand-brewed natural ales in a beautiful 100-year-old red brick bank that they transformed into their cellar door and still house. Adjoining the former bank was a derelict Butchers shop that now houses their 12hL brewery.

Each Loch Whisky expression is distinguished by a particular malt character, relating to one of the rich hand brewed ales they also produce. Craig and Mel continually source a diverse range of oak. They have implemented an impressive program of in-house cross aging of their spirit and beer, so expect some rare and complex future expressions. Loch distillery distil with Alembic Copper Pot Stills, a design that dates back well over seven hundred years arriving at their first bottling of single malt whisky in 2018. This first cask sold out within the hour.

They are one of only a handful of distilleries in regional Victoria where you can pull up a stool, sample their single malt whisky, gins and hand brewed, natural ales and chat to the distillers themselves about the years they have put into creating their beautiful products.
