10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Kingscliff

"House of Brews is a 32 beer-tap drinking and dining establishment in Surfers Paradise. It is the brainchild of enigmatic brothers Sacha, Damien and Ben Kanaghines. View this post on Instagram"

"Surfing sensation Mick Fanning co-founded Balter Brewery with a bevy of mates (and fellow surfers) Bede Durbidge, Josh Kerr, Stirling Howland, Ant Macdonald, Sean Ronan, and Joel Parkinson in the industrial backstreets of Burleigh. The rag tag group placed award-winning brewer Scotty Hargrave (formerly of Stone and Wood and Byron Bay Brewing Company) in the role of head brewer, resulting in a brew that’s garnered acclaim across the country. But see for yourself – the brewery welcomes locals and visitors alike to drop in and take a tour, taste the beers, and get a bite to eat at one of the many food trucks that visit regularly."

"A huge success story, Balter beer was stocked throughout Australia within six months of its launch. In its upmarket warehouse and tasting room, shining tanks extend back as far as the eye can see. Co-founder Stirling Howland says the aim is to make the best beer possible, “…to expand a person’s world view on what a beer can be."

"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."

"Another newcomer on the hospitality scene, BOBs beer is like no other brewery you’ve ever seen. Just metres from the beach, this venue doesn’t provide your average brewery menu, but instead offers a fine dining style menu utilising fresh seasonal produce with each meal designed to complement their plentiful list of delicious beers. That concludes our list of noteworthy restaurants on the GC!"

"Stroll up from the golden sands of the GC’s most iconic beach to assuage thirst and hunger at Surfers Paradise’s first and only brewery BOBs Brewery & Restaurant on Elkhorn Avenue. BOBs is an acronym ... "Readers' Choice 2019 - Regional"

"It started with three Brisbane mates – Dan, Eddie and Michael – who loved to drink beer together. Nothing too unusual about that in Australia – but what’s different about these buddies is that they’ve now created a brewery that’s rated among Australia’s top 10 breweries. Located just two blocks from the waves at Burleigh Point, Black Hops Brewing is all about keeping it real – you’ll be drinking from one of eight taps among stacks of kegs, fermenters and malt sacks."

"Any beer fanatic’s trip to the Gold Coast wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the beloved Black Hops. What started as the passion project of three Brissy boys has become a star of the craft beer scene, with two Gold Coast locations, including Burleigh and Biggera Waters. Their original Burleigh joint is a local favourite, serving up a selection of award-winning beers."

"Where:15 Gardenia Grove, Burleigh Heads, (Black Hops II, a second production brewery and taphouse is at 671 Pine Ridge Road, Biggera Waters). When: Wednesday – Friday 12pm – 7pm, Saturday – Sunday 12pm-6pm. Black Hops started as a simple idea over a beer with three good mates Dan, Eddie and Govs."

"This list wouldn’t be complete without a shoutout to Burleigh Brewing Co., an iconic craft beer destination. After over a decade in the business, it’s safe to say these guys know what they’re doing, and after tasting one of their award-winning brews you’ll know why. The bustling Burleigh spot has excellent vibes, and is the perfect place to spend an afternoon trying out one of the 24 beers on tap, whilst enjoying the live music and range of food trucks."

"This family-owned local business uses traditional brewing methods, cutting edge science and equipment to produce a superlative product, scoring consistent wins at the World Beer Cup and the World Beer Championships. Single-handedly changing the face of craft beer on the Gold Coast, Burleigh Brewing Co. is now the largest Australian-owned brewery in Queensland."

"One of the "OG" brewing companies on the scene - the Burleigh Brewing Company have created quite the name for themselves. With frequent live music and events, the brewery is a hit with all beer lovers."

"The latest addition to the burgeoning Gold Coast craft scene, Lost Palms has put a little fun into the brewery scene by taking out any tough guy elements associated with beer (and the Gold Coast) and introducing locals to a brewery and taphouse dominated by a pastel pink and mint colour scheme. 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)."

"Lost Palms is Miami’s pretty pink and instagrammable drinking den. It’s just a short walk from Nobbys Bars and restaurants, and right around the corner from Miami Marketta. The outside area is prime for sinking beers with your pals."

"Enjoy treating yourself to one of the Lost Palms Brewing's own craft beers and nestle into the pastel-themed brewery hidden in the back streets of Miami."

"Tweed HeadsThis family owned, local artisan brewery situated in Tweed Heads proudly produces a selection of lagers, ales, pilsners and dark beers, as well as a popular alcoholic Jinja Beer, using the finest malts, hops and grains available. Pop in for brewery tours, beer tasting, party keg hire and specialised brewing services."

"Where: 17 Blackheath Terrace, Pacific Pines, QLD. The Gold Coast brewery is not open to the public due to council legislation. Madocke Brewed by Belgians is proud to bring true Belgian style to a Gold Coast brewery. Founders, Annelies and Jimmy opened in their home garage to queues in 2019."

"Found within Main Beach’s Marina Mirage precinct, Glass Dining and Lounge Bar oozes elegance and class. The sophisticated, contemporary venue features some of the Gold Coast’s best waterfront views and a relaxed ambience, along with a menu of top-notch modern Australian cuisine, including some seriously fresh seafood. If a fine dining experience isn’t what you’re after, simply stop in and order a cocktail from their extensive wine and cocktail list whilst soaking in the views."

"The stunning interior and marina views make it clear that Glass Dining & Lounge Bar is not your everyday restaurant, but instead a fine dining waterfront …"

"The North Room does many wonderful dishes, but it’s safe to say they are best known for their wonderful Bento Boxes. These Bento Boxes are being delivered to you for your convenience, along with several choice alcoholic beverages for you to sip while you eat!. Pair your Bento Box with a negroni or Japanese whisky and have them both delivered to your door."

"It’s unusual for a restaurant chain to catch our attention but I do love a good dumpling and when that’s on offer alongside some unique craft beers it does have to be included. This lunch spot on the Broadbeach Mall is the latest addition to the Harajuku Gyoza family in Queensland and offers something a little different with a variety of Japanese style craft beers brewed on site and available on tap. The selection is changed up regularly but if you like a Japanese beer from a pale ale to a black beer you’ll get it here with hearty plates of gyoza, tempura eggplant, edamame snacks and other typical Izakaya fare to go along with it."

"Broadbeach is the first of Harajuku’s numerous stores to ostentatiously add ‘beer stadium’ to its name, putting the emphasis squarely on good times. Four shiny 1,200-litre tanks behind the bar form the core of Harajuku’s microbrewery, producing their six in-house craft brews under the label Yoyogi."
