Walkabout Brewing Co. (Craft Beer & Brewery in Medford OR)

Walkabout Brewing Co. in Medford, Oregon (a place you’d expect only rain and pine trees) is a cheeky slice of the Australian outback dropped into Southern Oregon’s craft scene. The moment you step inside, the scent of fresh hops battles the faint whiff of eucalyptus, and you realise you’ve been lured into an oasis where the indoors spill out onto a patio fitted with a gas fire pit and heat lamps—perfect for a pint when the Oregon drizzle shows up.

The brewers aren’t chasing the latest fad; they stick to their roots and traditions while still daring to experiment, delivering beers that strike a surprising balance of flavor and finesse. Pairings are a serious business here, with menus that match each brew to a dish, and the Tranch Burger slathered in Hottermelon BBQ sauce has become something of a legend. Families feel right at home thanks to generous outdoor seating, and the staff—affectionately dubbed ‘brewtenders’—are both friendly and encyclopaedic about their pours. In short, Walkabout offers quality craftsmanship with a wink of Aussie charm, making every visit feel like a relaxed holiday rather than a pretentious tasting session.
