We were surprised to be told there is brewery place in Margaret River area. Thus we were making a point to visit the center in our itinerary. It is very easy to find this place, together with the map provided from our hostel yesterday. We were planning to come here to try out the beer, just before our lunch.

It is situated in the heart of Margaret River wine region, hence billed itself as "an oasis of beer in a desert of wine". Bootleg Brewery produces a wide range of multi-award winning naturally brewed boutique beers. Since being established in 1994 Bootleg has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the South West, well known for its great beers, delicious lunches, picturesque setting and childrens playground.

We purchased the tester set of 7, which we able to taste all the beers available. Since there are 3 of us, we shared it among ourselves. We were given a tasting note of the beer, where each cup represent different taste. It started from a mild beer to stout. The cup is numbered from 1 to 7, and we just test the beer accordingly and reading the notes given.

1. SOU'WEST WHEAT 4.7%
2. HEFE 4.7%
3. TOM'S AMBER ALE 4.0%
4. WILS PILS 4.9%
5. SETTLERS PALE ALE 4.8%
6. RAGING BULL 7.1%
7. OATMEAL STOUT 5.5%

One can also purchase the beer as a gift. Too bad, we were still in our early vacation, else we will buy some and bring back home. Though weather was not that good (drizzle at that time), we still enjoyed our noon at this place. Indeed, it is a good place to visit.
