pub pies at the lord nelson brewery

Seven work colleagues in Australia’s oldest pub brewery, drinking beer and eating pie.

Yes, it was a productive working day.

As part of the Crave Sydney International Food Festival pubs around town are offering a pint of Cooper’s Pale Ale with their own special pie.

The Lord Nelson Brewery is a beautiful old pub built out of local sandstone in 1841. The interior reflects its colonial history and the pub brews six permanent ales and then a few seasonal ales.

If you ever visit Sydney, the Lord Nelson is a nice slice of history with some tasty beers.

But we’re here for the pie. It’s a simple meat pie with mushy pies. Traditional but well done.

It’s filling and the Cooper’s Pale Ale washes down nicely.

If only every work day was like this . . . . .
