The craft beer scene is booming. One only has to reflect on the number of bars that have opened in recent times or are opening soon.We love how Brisbane brewing co has converted the laneway at 124 Boundary St in West End, into a little hideaway from the hustle of the the main road. Located in between Leno's Fruiters & Spaghetti House. Walk through the cool laid-back alfresco laneway, & inside, a mixture of timber, astroturf, plants, garden furniture, funky lighting, & a signature Frank and Mimi signage, to complete a very open look that takes advantage of Qld's sunny disposition. It all fits perfectly with the diverse & eclectic vibe of West End. Brisbane brewing co, has 8 house beers with a couple of guest beers from other artisan breweries. One of the highlights for beer enthusiasts would be the beer tanks located next to the main bar, so patrons can sip on their fave beer & also watch the brewing process.
Food is of course part of the Brisbanebrewingco experience, with a Deli offering up meats, cheeses, salads, breads, share options,a kids menu for families, & mains
to cater for all sorts of hunger. Mains range from $24 - $36, are big portions & can choose up to 2 sides. "Platters for 2", are $24-$36, are absolutely massive, & there is also a vegetarian option. Less substantial but still to "share", are "tasters", ranging from $14 - $18, with the "Hoagies", baguette filled goodness, also being a good option at $15.
There was a group of us & we ordered:
(1) Parmy $24, house cut free range chicken breast, crumbed schnitzel
topped with Heinz, smoked leg ham.
(2) Pulled pork shoulder Hoagie $15, with apple slaw, feta & tomato relish.
(3) Brewer's Platter $36, slow cooked Darling Downs beef brisket, pulled pork shoulder, potato & bacon salad, vintage cheddar, house pickels, smoked tomato relish, baguettes & corn bread.
Great times & great tastes were had. The Brewer's platter is a generous offering as were the others & it was very filling. Afterwards you'll be tempted to have a siesta on the astroturf. Brisbane brewing co is a great addition to West End & another awesome venue for Brisbane's burgeoning craft beer scene. read more
