10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Brisbane City

"XXXX Gold is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most iconic and popular beers, first introduced in 1924 and still today brewed in iconic Castlemaine Perkins Brewery in the inner-suburb of Milton in Brisbane. Given its notoriety and legendary status both in Australia and abroad it is no wonder that one of the most popular things to do in Brisbane is to book onto a XXXX brewery tour which takes you through the 140+ year history of Queensland’s most enigmatic brewery. You’ll learn all about this classic brew, their world-class brewing methods, ingredients and, obviously, how to pour the perfect XXXX."

"Be guided through Brisbane's growing micro-brewery scene, tasting a huge variety of delicious brews from Greater Brisbane, Ipswich & Springfield."

"After pick up and a short drive out to Sumner Park, we get behind the scenes of White Lies Brewing & Distilling where, though it’s tempting to sample all the incredible beers on offer, we’re here to get the lowdown on gin distillation. Sampling four unique gins, each paired with their proper garnish, you’ll feel like an expert in no time."

"Range Brewing is the brainchild of childhood friends Gerard Martin and Matt McIver. The duo conceived the idea of opening their own brewery while living in London, and after much research conducted at breweries around the world, felt educated enough to be able to go it alone. Their brewery opened in Newstead in 2017 with a specific goal in mind, both in terms of the beers produced (there’s no core range, but rather a constantly rotating selection which can be found on the website) and design (the space is minamlistic to say the least, with inspiration being drawn from Scandinavia)."

"Unlike other breweries, Range doesn’t offer one core line, instead continuously developing and innovating their modern range, refining their drops until they’re the best of the best. Drop by for a few cold ones in the chic industrial space, grab some pizzas and Italian-influenced nibbles, and prepare for some serious dog spotting!"

"After two years in development, Easy Times Brewing Co finally opened in Woolloongabba at the end of October 2020. Owners David Ferguson and Anita Boettger teamed up with Ryan Lane of Proof BBQ & Booze, who’s turning out a menu of Kentucky-style barbeque from his giant smoker upstairs. Brisket and ribs are the specialty, but there’s also whole blackened fish and vegetarian options."

"Perched above a lush park overlooking the Brisbane River, the beautiful Newstead House is Brisbane's oldest surviving residence, dating back to 1846. Where once it stood as a simple colonial Georgian cottage, home to Darling Downs pioneer Patrick Leslie, over the years it has grown to reflect the history of Brisbane, serving as a Botanic Institute, the first headquarters of the Royal Historical society of Queensland, and even acting as the living quarters for American service personnel during WWII. Today the homestead offers visitors a slice of Brisbane history, as it’s painted and furnished in the style of the late Victorian period."

"C’est Bon’s own snazzy rooftop bar is the best place to imbibe either side of dinner downstairs. Up here, you can also graze on possible options of duck liver parfait eclairs and twice-baked soufflés, washed down by vintage champagne against a backdrop unlike anything else in the city. 609 611 Stanley Street,Woollongabba"
