A pub with no beer is the last thing people need in the bushfire-stricken Victorian town of Mallacoota.

Locals have made thirsty work of securing more of the amber fluid amid fears the town's drinking hole would run dry in a week's time.

Mallacoota Hotel Motel arranged a last-minute delivery of 3000 litres of beer with Carlton & United Breweries - to be delivered on the Navy ship HMAS Choules.

Twenty kegs of Victoria Bitter and Carlton Draught, three pallets of VB stubbies, and 36 slabs of Strongbow and Great Northern were loaded on Thursday.

"The pub is at the heart of regional communities. And a pub with no beer is bad enough at the best of times," CUB chief executive Peter Filipovic said.

"After what Mallacoota residents and firies have been through the least we could do is make sure they could enjoy a beer."

CUB also threw in four kegs of beer on the house.

Last-minute delivery

It is understood that Narelle Waixel from the pub contacted the local County Fire Authority captain and the CUB about the looming beer crisis.

The supplies were loaded onto HMAS Choules on Thursday morning at the last moment.

The ship is returning to the town with supplies of food, fuel and power, after taking the last seaborne Mallacoota evacuees to Hastings on Wednesday.

With the road in and out of Mallacoota still shut due to the bushfires, which left 4000 people stranded there, the regular beer delivery is impossible.

"For the people who have chosen to stay in Mallacoota, there is replenishment supplies coming through the ADF until such time as the highway can be reopened," Gippsland MP Darren Chester told reporters of the efforts to send supplies into the community.

For now, things won't be so dreary because the pub will have some beer.
