The Moo Brew crew are about to open a new taphouse and bar in Hobart. Manky Sally’s brings a slice of Mona to the Salamanca strip, just a stone’s throw from the Mona Roma ferry terminal.
The oldest craft brewery in lutruwita / Tasmania, Moo Brew began life when Mona owner David Walsh found a bottle he liked but not a beer to fill it. This new venture is just as experimental. With Moo Brew’s managing director Lauren Sheppard and head brewer Jack Viney at the helm, Manky Sally’s will feature a nano-brewery, and serve up new (and classic) brews in a luxe setting.
"Do not expect timber benches, metal furniture and people sitting around barrels," says Sheppard.
"Manky Sally’s is not your typical taphouse.’
The bar has been outfitted with pieces foraged from Mona’s four warehouses: artworks that may or may not be forgeries, atmospheric lighting, fancy chandeliers, taxidermy and vintage carpets, the place itself is a treasure trove after Walsh gave the team free rein to furnish the site.
And the drinks promise a unique offering to guests as well.
Head brewer Jack Viney says: "Trying something different with 7000 litres of beer is more risky, but on 300 litres? Not so much. Manky Sally’s tiny brewing tanks will give us the chance to conduct some creative experiments and get instant feedback from the people drinking at the bar."
There will be fourteen taps at Manky Sally’s serving eight core Moo Brew beers, experimental and seasonal ones and a tapped cocktail on offer too as well as a bevy of Tasmanian spirits and wines.
