End of an era . . . .

We have a bittersweet announcement to share, Elmar’s in the Valley has been sold, our final day of trade as Elmar’s in the Valley is 28th May 2022.

First of all, we would like to say a massive thank you to our local community, our suppliers, customers and of course all our amazing staff, who have supported us over the last 17 years. We will forever remember your kindness, love and enduring support throughout our journey here in the Swan Valley.

Whether it be at Oktoberfests, Psychic Dinners, Markets, Highlander Games, themed dinners or just the everyday happenings here at our venue, we will miss seeing your smiling faces and the joy experienced from our food, beer and German culture.

Owner/Director Anette is looking forward to semi-retirement & enjoying time with her beloved horses. And Elmar, you will still be able to find him at Beaufort St, Highgate crafting our famous Smallgoods products that we’ve built our reputation upon.

We’re also excited to see what the new owners have in store. From what they’ve shared with us, you are in for a real treat & it will be a great addition to the Valley.

On that note, we invite you to join us this Friday night for our last ever Smokin’ Hot Friday, our final event & hurrah! It’s our way to say farewell in true Elmar’s style.

Bring your family, friends, neighbours and come experience Elmar’s in the Valley for the last time, cosying by the firepit, feasting on delicious food from our all-you-can-eat buffet and sipping on our much-loved biers.

And, over the next two weeks, do make sure to come in, enjoy one last shank & stein of bier!

Stock up on our beers, smallgoods and merch as from 28th May, our beers and merch will no longer be available.

Our smallgoods will however continue to be available from our Highgate, Myaree stores & at number of our Perth stockists.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you again and we hope to see you all this Friday 20th May to celebrate or over the coming two weeks.

The first ever Dan Murphy's Decoded Spirit Awards have been announced and you wanna guess who picked up the award for Australia’s Best Vodka?

Damn straight we did! Winning the judges over with its super smooth taste, our Pavlova Vodka took out the vodka category.

And it should be fairly obviously how we’re planning to celebrate! Grab a bottle of the pav from us (or your local Dans of course!) and raise a glass with us!

There is little that sparks debate and fires emotions in the beer world as much as those occasions when a multinational buys an independent brewing company. Case in point this year: the acquisition of the Fermentum Group – home to Stone & Wood, Fixation and Two Birds among others – by Kirin-owne...

Coca-Cola have announced they're exiting the Australian beer and cider market, including placing Feral Brewing up for sale.

26/10/2021

The closure of Feral's brewpub in the Swan Valley at the start of the month felt like the end of an era for many. Sure, the trailblazing brewery has been following a different trajectory in recent years following its acquisition by Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA) in 2017, with Biggie Juice and its variants m...

It’s been a Friday night haul of medals for us at the Perth Royal Distilled Spirits Awards!

Leading the charge was our 1829 Gin, Gingin Gin and Pavlova Vodka - all with shiny new gold medals to their names!

Common Gin, Smoked Vodka and our Coffee-Cold Drip Vodka all garnered silvers and we’ve rounded it out with bronzes for both Six Seasons Gin and Pure No.1 Vodka.

Once again, some exceptional WA spirits showcased at these awards and the standard is getting better every year!

Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to celebrate 😉

Today is our 5th Birthday!! Oooh, wait did someone say birthday drinks?!

Actually, we did! To celebrate our birthday we’re offering free tastings for the rest of the month - yes, the birthday drinks are on us until the end of May!

It’s most certainly been a wild ride up until this point (boy could we tell you some stories!) But safe to say there’s been high, lows, awards, a lot of laughs, and just a mild dose of that thing we call learning 😉

So with free tastings of our award winning spirits on the cards, there’s all the more reason to come and visit us! PLUS the opportunity to sing us happy birthday of course 😉

PS - if your booking is with a tour company the usual tasting fee will apply. But if you ask us, there’s nothing wrong with visiting us a second time in the month! 😂

Chairs are ready! If you’re coming in for a tasting, you’ll have to be seated at the bar for the duration and keep that distance between you!

We are now open again for tastings, but with a max. capacity of 20 overall, so if there is a wait, please be patient!

Whether you are dropping in to pick up a bottle, or if you’re in for a tasting, you will need to wear a mask and sign in. But we’ll provide sanitiser, seats and the spirits!
