I'd been waiting for my next inter-state trip to Queensland to finally come visit this brewery and…read moreI was not disappointed! The brewery is located in an industrial park about 25-30mins drive outside of Brisbane CBD (approx. $50 cab ride or $40 UberX oneway). We were pleasantly surprised to find the brewery buzzing when we arrived, a game of Cornhole underway in the front outdoor area, tables filled with beer paddles & a food truck (Puerto Taco) churning out delicious tacos to make sure we had a stomach lining while we tasted all their delicious beer. The inside bar/brewery/seating area is cozy, tables adorned with lamps made from old ten pin bowling pins, a games area upstairs as well as other board games to master at your tables while you drink. The bar itself has plenty of taps meaning they can have plenty of rotating beers on show and also keep a decent bottle list for dine-in or takeaway too. And of course this leads me to their beer, I was already a fan before I arrived but Bacchus put out some really creative & interesting craft beers, meaning you'll more than likely find something to drink whether you're a beer snob, beer n00b or non-beer drinker (everyone has to try the Lamington Dark Ale, the nose alone will sweep you away to Lamington-land :p).

Not only is the beer awesome the staff are just as nice. If you can't find a beer here that you…read morelike then if you stick to your xxxx. We live in the Northside but for sure will be back here again. Awesome times!!

Vegetarian meal was disgraceful. The only choice for a vegetarian was a "broccolini salad" but I…read moreonly found a few small pieces of broccoli stalk init, there was no tomato and only a tiny sprinkle of feta cheese. It was a garden salad drenched in dressing. They used to have good food there but I won't be eating there again until they provide more choice and they can make a better meal.

The Belmont Tavern is, at best, hit and miss. At worst, it is a pain. I do keep going back for two…read morereasons. One because it is so close to my house and there is not much else around and two because when they have a good night, it really is a great night out. I am convinced if they had more competition in the area, they would be forced to lift their game and it would be perfect. For example, one night I will go there with some friends and we will be seated straight away, service is fast and the meals come in generous servings. No matter what you get, (steak, pasta, salad, cob loaf, chicken) it is delicious and everyone at the table has a fantastic meal. Then, I came here last Thursday night with a couple of people. The line to order was not big but the service was really slow. When we got to the counter they had 'run out' of 2 of the 4 things we wanted to order, then something happened and they had to enter our order again. Later, after waiting an hour for food were informed they had charged us twice. On the plus side, the girl at the till seemed genuinely good at what she does but had a slow register and only half the menu to work with. Also, once you get your food, it is always in generous portions and really tasty. So, sometimes it is a 5 star rating and sometimes it a 2 star, and I compromised on 4 stars overall.

There must be a lack of homebrewers on Yelp for CraftBrewer to have no reviews! This shop (more…read morelike small warehouse) is absolutely brilliant if you want to get into homebrewing. Their range is extensive and prices good. The service is what really makes it top tier. I have bought most of my equipment here since I started brewing and Anthony has always been very generous with his time and advice. My only gripe is they are all the way over in Capalaba but now I have my equipment I can just order the grain and hops online and have it delivered to the other side of Brisbane for less than $10. They are also a micro brewery (Bacchus brewing). We are lucky to have this shop in Brisbane.
