First up is The Cambus Wallace. This unique location in Nobby Beach is well-known for their expert taste in alcohol – so you know you’re guaranteed a good brew. Stocking only the finest craft beer, step inside this modern yet rustic location and scan over their delectable beverage list, which will impress even the most educated of connoisseurs. If you’re one for ice-cold beer straight from the tap, check out the blackboard or ask the staff what they’re pouring today. Happy with a bottle? We recommend Blue Moon; this Belgian-style wheat ale from the USA is full in flavour and tastes perfect when it’s poured into a glass and topped with a slice of orange.
