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.

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.

I had schooners of FigJam , excellent 7% IPA, the Duke Helles, a German Lager around 3.5 % and the 28 Pale, a Mid strength pale Ale. All three were good, my favourite was the FigJam as IPA is my favourite beer , but the others were equally good. All three demonstrated that craft brewers are the way to go if you want distinctive and delicious beer.
