Kicks Brewing

Cam and Job run a tight ship and are happy to discuss the ins and outs of their various brews (as well as the finer points of warming genshu sake if you’re so inclined). A number of happy customers and their furry friends or mini me’s also sailed through the venue on the Saturday we visited. Tasting paddles of four beers are an excellent entree into Kicks’ lineup for the novice. Of particular note for this punter were their rice lager, west coast IPA, and Baltic porter. There’s a beer fridge packed full of four packs of tinnies for those who wish to takeaway. In addition to the range of draft beers there is the option of buying a ‘tin pour’ from one of the refrigerated cans. And the pizza tent out front, run by the delightful husband and wife team of Saint Michiba’s Pizza churns out an impressive array of thin-crusted numbers featuring homemade chilli jams, razor-thin slices of tender chicken breast, juicy sausage, jalapeño and other gourmet ingredients. Unisex toilets are clean, and include a fully decked-out parents’ bathroom complete with nappy changing bay. A sophisticated joint, with middies served in classy thin-glass tumblers, Kicks is a venue to savour in the early afternoon before the hubbub of the family groups ups the decibels to nil-by-ear levels. In between the low-hanging flights of the A380s and the flight of Kicks tastings, one can achieve a kind of light industrial chic Marrickville nirvana. Five stars.

Came here for happy hour. Had a choice of 2 beers on tap for $5 for a small glass. Both beers were ok. Both were cold which was good. Didn't have hardly any wine selection. Wine was $10 for a very small glass. Anyway service was great, place was fine.

Great selection of beers, and always quality food options. This time loved the Khmer chicken wings from Jerry's. Good brews, good food.

Friday night fever with kicks brewing. The juxtapose hazy ipa was really crisps, tropical fruit after taste very much orange-ish.

Not a huge venue but cosy and well resourced. The staff are friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this place if you were into casual beer or feed or a craft beer nerd. This place has friendly staff which are happy to look after you and they have some amazing beers as well.
