Little Pete Brewing has opened a new open-air bar at 543 Step Rd, Langhorne Creek, a must-visit South Australia destination for a drink with a view.
The first-of-its-kind open-air bar sits on 8ha, surrounded by vineyards and paddocks, with the Bremer River flowing nearby and framed by majestic ancient river red gums.
“We always felt this property has a special energy,” Little Pete Brewing co-founder, Warren Burgess, said.
“We launched the Little Pete Brewing brand just three years ago, and we’ve been selling directly to consumers while supplying select venues and bottle shops across Adelaide, Fleurieu and the Adelaide Hills.
“When we purchased this property 18 months ago, we knew it was the perfect place to build the open-air bar and, soon, the construction of a new brewhouse.
“It’s a dream come true that after three years, we’re welcoming visitors and consumers to us.”
Since the inception of Little Pete Brewing in 2021, Warren and Beck Burgess have been committed to connecting people through exceptional brewing, with a strong emphasis on the paddock-to-plate philosophy.
Warren, an agronomist with a passion for the science behind brewing, and Beck, a consultant who supports local farmers and organises large-scale agriculture conferences, really know how to “brew” up a winning partnership.
“The open-air bar and property embodies everything we envision for Little Pete Brewing—a place where community, quality craft beer, and the beauty of Langhorne Creek come together,” Beck Burgess said.
“We want our customers to feel at home, just like visiting a friend for a catch-up, but with a sneaky beer in hand.
“Come for a beer on the lawns, where you can kick back under the umbrellas and enjoy a laid-back, unpretentious atmosphere—just good drinks and great company in a unique setting.
“Bring your kids and your dog (on-leash) and make a day of it.”
The bar features Little Pete Brewing’s seven signature beers, available for purchase and tasting paddles, as well as local wines sourced from vineyards next door.
Food lovers can delight in “build your own platters” crafted from producers across the Fleurieu region, ensuring a true paddock-to-plate experience.
Highlighting their commitment to sustainability, the venue will operate semi-off-grid, using battery power to keep the lights on so the fun never stops.
The opening coincides with the launch of Little Pete Brewing’s flagship beer, “SA Draught,” celebrating South Australia’s rich brewing heritage, an Australian lager sure to please everyone, including non-craft beer drinkers.
