The historic brewery in Last Street was built in 1865 while Beechworth was at the height of the Gold Rush. The site was chosen because a natural spring occurred here and the pure water has been used in all of the beverages to this day. In the 1920's, beer production ceased and a soft drink and cordial factory was started. Billson's are now under new owners and have made huge changes to this old brewery, including reintroduction of craft beers and spirits, plus a retro cafe setting and bar.
