What to Expect

This brewery tour will pick you up from your Gold Coast location and visit two out of four local breweries. The first stop is to Lumber Punks in Miami for a tutorial on axe-throwing. The first bulls-eye gets bragging rights for the day! During a 90-minute session, you'll be taught everything you need to know to aim straight and throw accurately.

Throwing axes is thirsty work. After your session, the tour wanders the few hundred metres (or drive, most likely) to Lost Palms Brewing. Here you'll discover a unique, chilled-out space filled with bright colours and thirst-quenching beers. Comfy couches mean you can sit back and sip your brews in comfort. The tour will go through all important beer info here, including ingredients and history.

The next stop is lunch! Ducking over to Bine Craft Beer Bar, you can choose from an array of lunch options, each paired with a paddle from a rotating tap selection. After lunch, the tour heads to a residential neighbourhood to check out Black Hops. Here you have the chance to explore the brewery and taste more fresh brews. If the head brewer Michael "Govs" McGovern is around, he'll answer questions you may have and tell the stories behind each of the beers on offer.

Alternatively, the tour may also visit the original and iconic Gold Coast brewery, Burleigh Brewing, where you'll walk through the brewery and learn about their history as the longest-operating brewery on the Gold Coast. Taste their core range (plus more seasonal release beers) and marvel at the size of their brewery. The tour may decide to finish the day at the so-hot-it's-cool Balter where the beach meets beer. Award-winning brewer Scotty Hargreave creates delicious beers to keep you refreshed. You'll have a tasting paddle here.

The tour visits TWO of these FOUR breweries on the Gold Coast, along with a lunch stop. Throughout the day, the tour keeps you well-fed and full of delicious beer, with plenty of samples accompanied by tasting notes and witty commentary. The brewers are happy to show you the ropes, help you understand the brewing process and answer any questions you may have.

Don't forget to bring a photo ID with you. All your friends may know you're of age, but it's only the first time we've met, and we'd hate for you to get turned away from any of the breweries by looking too young to appreciate good brews.

Frequently Asked Questions

You must be 18 years or older. Venues may ask for ID so make sure you bring one, preferably a driver’s license. If you can’t legally drink, you won’t have much fun anyway.

The tours are fully inclusive, meaning they supply all the beer you need. Each venue on the tour includes roughly 4-6 x 120ml beer samples at each venue, which adds up quite a bit! No one has ever finished the day and said they didn’t get enough to drink.

Take advantage of visiting the breweries and buy beer on site – you never know where you might next get it – but ONLY for takeaway! While you will receive plenty of delicious beer samples during our visits, the craft breweries offer takeaway cans, bottles and/or growlers.

Wear closed-toe shoes to visit working breweries, which may have that as a requirement. If your toes are showing you may be asked to wear a pair of the brewer’s gumboots for safety. Not a sexy look. The choice is yours. Aside from that, wear something comfortable and that you are happy to pose for photos in.

10:15 am: Helensvale Station is a central stop for anyone on the train coming from either direction. The tour will be waiting on the heavy rail side near the taxis.

10:45 am: Loose Moose (Oasis Centre, 75 Surf Parade, Broadbeach) is on the ground floor of the Oasis Centre in the heart of Broadbeach. Easy to reach by G: Link, the Loose Moose is near the taxi rank at the main entrance to the centre.

Drop Offs: The tour is flexible with drop-off locations within the city based on guests’ needs and requests.

Policies

Terms & Conditions:

Please note that the tour visits working breweries and it’s suggested you wear closed-toe shoes so you don’t miss out on any of the fun. Also, since they don’t always run on a set schedule, the tour will try and catch the brewers in action but that can’t always be guaranteed; keep an open mind on the day because no matter what or who we see, the beers are always epic. Sometimes the itineraries will change at a whim; this may be because of traffic, a last-minute decision from the brewery or any number of things
