From the record

Tally’s Take
At 650 Victoria Street from 2018 until new owners took over on 1 April 2025 and rebranded the venue as Embers Brewhouse. The record carries an instruction worth repeating out loud: do not assume Embers is brewing without separate evidence. A rebranded venue is not proof of a working brewery, and this archive counts breweries rather than signage.
