Prancing Pony

Prancing Pony Brewery is an award-winning brewery restaurant located in Totness, right in the heart of the Mount Barker District.

Known for its bold, full-flavoured beers and vibrant atmosphere, the brewery has grown from a small brew shed into a thriving destination, with products now sold in over 200 outlets across South Australia and expanding interstate. Led by head brewer Frank Samson, the team blends tradition with innovation to craft beers that capture the senses.

Owner Corinna Steeb shares the journey:
"Prancing Pony started in a small brew shed and we very quickly outgrew the location there. Our beers are sold in more than 200 outlets across SA and we’ve just started our interstate distribution. The Mount Barker district is a good location for us – it’s a township big enough that you don’t really need leave it if you don’t want to, but it is also close to a large city with an international airport. Many locals have visited our fabulous ‘brewshed’ at Totness (on the road between Littlehampton and Hahndorf). We chose the location because it would give us access to two very different audiences. It’s very easy for locals to come here, and we’re only four minutes out of Hahndorf. Hahndorf gets visitation of 950,000 people and we’re a working brewery so we’re open every day. It doesn’t matter what day a tourist is in Hahndorf, they can come here, that makes it very easy."

With a strategic location, growing distribution, and a strong brand identity, Prancing Pony is a standout example of how passion, place, and product can come together to create a thriving business in the Mount Barker District.
