Mountain Goat Beer is a small independent brewery in Richmond, Victoria, Australia. The first batch of 'Hightale Ale' was produced in 1997. Since then its popularity has grown through good word of mouth and monthly open nights at the brewery. Currently over 30 retailers supply Goat Beer on tap, localised through inner Melbourne. The various beers have won many accolades at the Australian International Beer Awards.
