Venue 1: Your Mates Brewing Co.

Born on the Sunshine Coast in 2013, this story was crafted by a community of mates, a dream of living your passion and a celebration of everything great about our Australian culture.

 

What started as a two man beer operation has grown to a dream team of over 50 legends, who have  achieved some huge milestones, including recently being voted the 3rd most popular beer in Australia.

 

Mateship is still at the core of everything they do. Their vision is to be Australia’s most authentic brand and spread our mateship message to anyone who’ll pull up a camp chair and listen.

 

Why visit:

With live music, tasting paddles and a menu consisting of 12 hour smoked meats, fresh share plates for mates, loaded parmies, juicy burgers and vegan treats it’s a great place to spend the afternoon.

 

Venue 2: Paradise Rum

Paradise Rum Distillery is one of the newest distillery to open on the Sunshine Coast and family owned. They create Caribbean-style rum and botanically infused craft spirits for the world to enjoy. Paradise Rum was created for good times. A destination that fulfils your holiday desires. Eat, drink, relax, and escape to paradise.

 

Why visit:

Book a guided tour, enjoy a tasting paddle and charcutier board or just relax in the sun with a cocktail.

 

Venue 3: Brouhaha Brewery

In 2016, four Sunny Coast locals set out to build their ultimate brewpub. Fusing their passion for beer with their love of the land and deep connection with the community that raised them. 

 

Setting themselves up in the hinterland of Maleny, Brouhaha was birthed - a modest, no-fuss brewery where high quality craft beer met with fresh, local produce for patrons near and far. Cut to today, Brouhaha has grown to be much more than the four beer fanatics could have imagined - with award-winning brews, a loyal following and growing demand that saw capacity reached in just three years of opening.

 

With that, Brouhaha embarked on its next journey. Descending from the mountains and landing itself closer to the ocean, inland from Caloundra. The expansion allows the team to realise their dreams of becoming nationally recognised, while continuing to provide an excellent local experience.

 

Why visit:

Their new lofty, laid-back production brewery and world-class taproom are well worth a visit. Book a tour, try their tasting paddles or grab a pint and some street food from one of the visiting food trucks.

 

Venue 4: Moffat Beach Brewing Co.

At Moffat Beach Brewing Co, they believe everyone deserves an escape from the everyday. A chance to put your toes in the sand, enjoy the good life and have a little fun. They brew some of the finest craft beers on the Sunshine Coast and have the awards to prove it. From perennial favourites to seasonal releases, their beers are inspired by the people and places of the Sunshine Coast.

 

With everything they brew, quality is of the utmost importance. From the way they perfect their recipes, choose the ingredients, and take that extra care throughout the brewing process, to ensure that every beer they serve gives you a taste of the remarkable lifestyle we enjoy here in our little slice of Paradise.

 

Why visit:

With 20 rotating taps of award-winning Moffat Beach favourites and limited releases, live music, events and more, there’s always a reason to visit their Production House.
