At Malt Shovel, we still remember our first craft beer. A life-changing moment. A world of floral hops. A world of toffee malts. A world of discovery, refreshment and satisfaction. Craft beer was here and things would be the same again.

At Malt Shovel Taphouse Geelong the focus will be on authentic stories and flavours that make craft beer so unique. It will have a changing roster of great beers combined with great people and great food.

    Ambience was nice. We booked late so we were placed at the bar /tall table Which is fine. I saw a Filipino lechon in menu I ordered that thinking it was lechon however don't get disappointed by ordering that coz it was not a real lechon it's just a pork belly roast. My partner started eating my meal however the young Filipino waitress came around dragging our plates away to the point that my partner was chasing the plate so he could put down his cutleries as he was finishing the last bite. There was no "how was your meal or can I take this plate" manners. I was a food attendant in the past but I don't do that to customers dragging away plates when my partner was still having his last bite. Also it was his birthday and we clearly indicated that in the booking. Anyway, we walked out after that we did not order dessert as we felt rushed.
