Craft Brewers Trail

Forget XXXX, VB, Tooheys, Carlton, Hahn, Pure Blonde and all the other usual suspects, boutique brews are becoming all the rage.

Over the last couple of years Moreton Bay Region has seized onto the brewhahah fever and steeped up its game when it comes to brewing and serving new age craft beer. The divergence of flavours and styles of craft and new age beers holds great appeal to the discerning drinker and the beer curioso, with local brewers popping up across the region.

1. Ocean View Estates

Ocean View Estates is home to Ocean View Brewing Company proudly brewing craft beers that even the girls will love made by one of Australia’s only female head brewers. You will love the smooth, rich, delicious flavours of these truly unique craft beers, from smooth chocolate flavours to a beautifully delicate gluten free hibiscus saison. Be sure to drop into the cellar door to purchase a 6 pack or you can enjoy with lunch at the Restaurant.

4. Jumping Goats Bar

Owned and run by a father-daughter team, Jumping Goats Bar is one the newest bars on the Redcliffe Peninsula. For relaxed seaside vibes in a rustic setting, Jumping Goats Bar is the place to be.

While the bar is stocked with a wide range of snacks including locally made jerky and peanuts plus cheese and crackers, guests are welcome to bring their own food. Right next door is a delicious takeaway Thai shop, Kob’s Thai Kitchen, as well as Bella Sicilia Pizza and Pasta. There’s nothing better than some pizza or pasta to wash down a beer or two.
