Blessed beer
Kick off your road trip in the quaint town of Laura in the Southern Flinders Ranges, home to an old church, which been given a heavenly makeover. Welcome to Little Blessings Brewing, where they’ve swapped hymns for hops!
This recently renovated church is now a lively spot, brewing up some seriously good craft beers. Whether you’re into crisp lagers or rich, malty stouts, they’ve got a brew with your name on it. And the best part? You can pair your pint with tasty treats from local food trucks or pack your own picnic and bask in the sunshine on the lawn.

Wild spirit
Next, take a scenic drive to the tiny town of Quorn and discover Flinders Gin. This small-batch distillery is all about bottling the spirit of the outback — literally! Their gin is a true taste of the Flinders Ranges, infused with seasonal local aromatics that make every sip an adventure. Imagine sipping on a gin and tonic with notes of wild herbs and bush fruits, all inspired by the rugged landscape around you. It’s the kind of drink that makes you feel like a true explorer!

Iconic brew
Finally, no trip to the Outback is complete without a stop at the Prairie Hotel’s Parachilna Brew Project — South Australia’s most remote brewery. This family-owned microbrewery is as authentic as it gets, serving up unique brews that are worth the journey. After a day of exploring, there’s nothing better than kicking back with a cold one at this iconic outback pub.
