"What could scream Gold Coast more than a brewery set up by four of the Gold Coast’s best-ever pro surfers, including three-time world champ, Mick Fanning, and his best mate, 2012 world champ Joel Parkinson?. They set up Balter Brewing Company in Currumbin Waters’ formerly very unfashionable industrial estate and now it’s the place to be on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. But this is one brewery that doesn’t rely solely on its star power: Balter won Champion Medium Size Brewery in Australia at the 2017 Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA), as well as Best International Pale Ale."

"Balter is a favourite amongst locals, and established by a couple of surfing legends. With a ten-fold expansion, this brewing company is going nowhere but up in the coming years."

That concludes our list of noteworthy restaurants on the GC!"

Hardly your average brewery, is it?. You’ll find it in the industrial area of hip neighbourhood Miami – among smash repairers and mechanics – but also just across the street from the Coast’s trendiest hang-out, the Miami Marketta (where you’ll find pop-up bars, boho designers, eclectic live music and a crowd that looks more Collingwood than Coolangatta)."

The venue often hosts live music gigs and collaborates with local artist to specially create coastal-cool artwork for their latest cans."
