Ryan cares so much about getting great beer into people's hands; he spotted us as regulars at a local venue completely... unrelated to his own and made sure we were drinking quality beer. He is an absolute gem and has never steered us wrong. Rachel is a superstar who we always turn to for recommendations in booze we don't know as much about ourselves. There's a place to park your dog in the shop. Buy your beer here. If you're not buying your beer here; why the hell not?read more

Ryan is a no rubbish kind of guy that sells good booze. Always has something new and different to try.

Best bottle store in the Northern Suburbs. Don't ask for VB, Carlton Draught, or Corona. They don't stock bad beer

Great place for something unique and owner hit the mark with his recommendations. Only issue I have is that I never... come out with what I went in for, I come out with several other things as well.read more

Great selection of beers but they don't write prices on anything so you have to ask the price of every single beer... you're looking at which is really annoying if anyone else is in the shop. Hopefully they can change this. I'd shop there more often if it wasn't so frustratingread more

This is exactly the kind of local I have been waiting for since moving to the Burg 9 years ago. Great selection of... beers and haven’t gone wrong with any of the spirits either. Also we can bring our dog inside, which is nice. They’ve had a rough trot with the Skyrail works. Go and down your hard earned there - you won’t regret it.read more

Fantastic and friendly service. I'm so happy I found this place. I contacted them looking for help with a last minute... birthday present. Due to pandemic issues I wasn't able to come in myself to look for something. Ryan got back to me super quickly, was extremely helpful and made a great selection of beers which were then delivered quickly. I'm only sad that I don't live closer. Thanks for the help!read more

So glad a great local opened up for craft beer. I now buy most of my stuff from here and I feel like I'm cheating on... TGB if I buy elsewhere! Owner is very welcoming and really enjoy popping in for a visit.read more

Best bottle shop experience I've had in my life. I want to buy beer just so I can be friends with the owner... Is that... ok? (that's not rhetorical...)read more

Its rare that I walk into a bottle shop and am greeted. Let alone given recommendations or tastings... And hey, there... was a time that I didn't really want to talk to the person behind the counter.. The Great Beyond changed all that. Wow. Probably the best selection of beers Ive seen and tasted. Walking in (and out) of The Great Beyond is simply a pleasurable experience. Get in there.read more

Great little shop full of spectacular beers from across the country and a few delicious international drops. Owner is... quite knowlageable and happy to help to you find the right beer, and usually has a can open for tasters! Dogs are welcome which is rad! Car parking can be a little bit of a pain, but there is plenty of street parking in the side street next door.read more

Regular tastings and knowledgeable staff. I can take my dog for a walk and get some amazing craft beers or wine that... you wont find many other places while doing it, because she's allowed in with me. Perfect.read more
