Listen up, carnivores – we've found your new happy place. Perched above Mindarie Marina, Indian Ocean Brewing Co isn't just another waterfront venue with craft beer. It's a serious meat lover's destination that's taking local beef to the next level.

The Grill That Dreams Are Made Of

Let's talk about what makes this place special – their exclusive partnership with Bully Butcher, the legendary Bullsbrook meat merchant who's changing the game in WA's beef scene. This isn't your typical supplier relationship; it's a dedication to exceptional quality that starts in the paddock.

Bully Butcher's owner Nathan Robb (a third-generation butcher who knows his meat like some people know their wines) personally selects each animal on the farm. We're talking premium West Australian grass-fed beef, where only cuts scoring a minimum Marble Score of 2+ make it onto IOB's premium menu. This marbling standard isn't just a number – it's your guarantee of that mouth-watering tenderness and rich, beefy flavor that serious carnivores crave.

What sets Bully Butcher apart is their commitment to local farming. Every cut you're enjoying has been raised right here in WA, supporting local farmers who understand that exceptional beef comes from exceptional care. The short distance from farm to plate means your meat hasn't spent weeks in transit – it's as fresh as it gets.

Here's what's sizzling on their premium grill menu:

The Show Stoppers

500g 35-Day Dry Aged Ribeye ($87) – This bad boy needs 30 minutes to perfect, but trust us, it's worth every second of the wait
400g Wagyu T-Bone ($65) – Grain-fed perfection that'll make you want to snap a photo before diving in
300g 35-Day Dry Aged Striploin ($51) – The kind of steak that reminds you why dry aging is pure magic

The Sweet Spots

250g Wagyu Rump MS3+ ($45) – The everyday luxury you deserve
250g Beef Tenderloin ($56) – Butter-soft and beautiful

Every cut comes with your choice of sauce (the peppercorn is our go-to, but the red wine jus is a close second), gourmet potatoes, and a rocket salad. And yes, you can add prawns for $12 if you're feeling fancy.

Beyond the Grill

Not in the mood for a full steak? Their other meaty offerings will still make you weak in the knees:

Cured Meats & Artisan Cheese Selection ($34 small / $59 large) – A carnivore's dream board featuring premium cured meats paired with artisanal cheeses. Skip the lavosh and focus on the pure protein pleasure
Dutch Meatballs ($21) – These bitterballen are little bombs of comfort
Pork Belly Bites ($21) – Glazed with fruitulus & pineapple gastrique that'll make you close your eyes and smile
Wagyu Beef Burger ($27) – Double it up for $12 and thank us later

The meat might be the star, but let's talk about that view. Positioned perfectly for those famous Western Australian sunsets, you'll find yourself timing your visits for their Hoppy Hour (Monday to Friday, 5-6pm). Grab a pint of their house-brewed craft beer for $8, or a glass of wine for $7, and watch the sun paint the marina gold.
