I guess the reason being is that I made the trek out here, upon discovering that the brewery was in Byron Bay, only to learn that they don't have a license to actually serve beer. Well, sort of, because they can serve tasting pallets, but that is basically it. This was a real shame actually, though now that I come to think of it, I probably should have just had a pallet.

The tour is great value. $35pp which covered 1 1/2 hours of beer history, ingredient knowledge, a walk through the brewery and plenty of taste testers. I honestly can't believe how generous the drinks were. Starting with a cheeky 10am schooner to break the ice, followed by 2 middies and ending with 1/2 a paddle. Safe to say I was feeling very relaxed and before we knew it it was 2pm! The brewery has a great atmosphere in general and our guide for the day Mike was awesome. Very chilled which maybe is how he looks so good. No way he is 40!! We came back the next day to pick up some beers to enjoy poolside at our B&B (sneaking in a garden ale and refreshing seltzer before we left). The seltzer is also gluten free, vegan and low sugar. Returning a third time to get some gifts to bring home for family. I would highly recommend a visit when in Byron Bay. The ethos of this business is something we can all strive for. A place that embraces its community and in turn the community has embraced it.

Naturally we had to visit one of their facilities on this trip, and he planned our drive around Gold Coast to visit the original taproom. It was a weekend afternoon so it was super quiet, just one other customer. The bartender was immediately welcoming and eager to talk and pour. It's a smaller location in a commercial plaza, with open doors and two sections: the bar and a few tables, and an event area with barrels and tables. They had a big selection of to-go beer as well. I had a flight of favorite styles and wasn't disappointed in any of them. Great quality and selection overall. If you're a beer fan and vacationing in Gold Coast, this is a must visit. Check their social media for events.

Add the vintage display cabinet, old skool chairs and bench seating you'd be forgiven to think your were at a friends uni flat with free furniture. Really enjoyed the mass variety of food and the sliders were exceptional. I really wanted one of everything tbh! After the lunch few of the lads went up to the bar and they had roughly 4-5 different beers on tap. All locally brewed at Byron bay brewery. That we did actually have one of each. The barmen weren't very engaging at first but as the beers flowed they seemed to relax a bit and enjoy our company. Over all good experience and would love to return.

Thank god for Pigs and Pints, a fantastic gourmet slider burger place. Slider burgers are tiny little burgers that focus on simplicity and flavour, not size. I ordered the $20 special, which got me 3 sliders (or 'pigs'), a bowel of home made potato crisps, and a pint of beer. The crisps were delicious, crunchy, and expertly hand crafted, with just enough salt and herbs. The burgers themselves were served in a little black box, which the waitress open like she was revealing buried treasure. Probably because real treasure lay inside. The first slider contained a good slice of slow cooked pork belly with a sweet and spicy jam. The second was simply called 'the cheese burger' and is apparently one of the most popular; perfectly fried halumi, lemon and herb dressing and rocket. The final slider, grilled tofu, was the weakest of the bunch with not much flavour and tofu that was a little dry. But that didn't stop me from ordering two more sliders: a spicy salmon, and a tai chicken. Both were great. A great night out for a group of friends that want to try something a little different.

We just so happened to be up for a few beers Friday night on our holiday up north, so that worked out well for us. The party spilled out from the brewery taking up the adjacent industrial car park, with groups of all ages enjoying the balmy night with a cold drink in hand, and lots of happy kids running around inventing games, giving it a real neighbourhood feel. Music was fun and interesting - a solo guy with a parade of instruments looping them to give himself a backing band - and most importantly the beer was brilliant. Lots of options, a few on tap, others in bottles, all well priced, and tasty tasty stuff. Burleigh Brewing has definitely found a new fan.
