Well, not surprisingly I decided to pop in for a drink, and I was certainly rewarded with some great beers, and a rather nice atmosphere as well. Then again there is really little that you can do wrong with these small craft beer breweries, which honestly seem to be getting smaller and smaller as time goes on. This place is no exception.

The tunes, the people, the bar staff - everything was pointing towards this being my new happy place. I ordered a Batlow Saison Cider (I know. Amazing. Saison CIDER) and chatted with the bar staff. I was intreguied by their boilermaker menu and after a while, we were walking away like I was a regular part of the furniture. There's just something about Catchment. It's designed really well, the venue feels inviting and the staff are there to have a good time and make you great drinks. Catchment gave me an opportunity to smash beers, play darts and have good chats; what more could you want?

The bar, tables and general setup is great. But alas, this bar is victim of terrible pop art and a…read morelack of uniform consistency of the decor. It feels like this bar is trying to hard to be something that is really is not.. After a tiny search it is revealed that this bar is not only signed to Lion Nathan, but there are rumors of it being owned by them too. The simple fact that they call themselves a brewhouse is the start of the joke.. They don't brew here at all. Nor do they even have anything that could possibly be passed as brewed locally.. They also claim to be a craft beer bar, but as direct contradiction to that they have specials on corona buckets.. The tap list is predominately James Squire with Kosciusko, Hogarden and Kirin. The fridge is predominately average and negligible. We were here on a Tuesday and took advantage of their 2-4-1 Tuesday meals. This was tiny.. Flavoursome, but tiny. It didn't even begin to touch the sides. All of the glass wear is quite different. The beer glasses are an tapered kind of snifter glass (see the image I uploaded). These are a very thin glass, and during the short amount of time we spent there the heat transfer through the thin glass was very obvious. All in all. Another uninteresting local watering hole in the sea of average bars.

We had a burger ( I think it was 10 dollar burger day) that was very good as well as the Navajo frybread, which we mostly ordered because I grew up near a Navajo reservation and was tickled to see this on a menu in Brisbane at a brewery. I wouldn't say that it seemed terribly authentic but I didn't mind it. The food was overall quite good. Had some good draft beers. The prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly. Great way to spend a sunny afternoon.

We were a little early, but the bartender let us come in and started pouring our drinks anyway. He was friendly the whole visit. Everything they had on tap was solid, I opted mostly for the local ingredient options and styles I enjoyed. I also had a beer of the week, a hazy, which was much cheaper in a giant pour so I did that anyway. I loved this area of the city, brick buildings with shady trees and quiet streets. The brewery front is a big garage door that opens, they have plenty of seating with tables all over. The merch shop is also in the front. Prices were reasonable for quality. I really enjoyed their beer and experience here.

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).

I'm a fan of beer. Ok that's a lie. I'm Obsessed with beer and Brews Brother is my de facto temple…read moreof devotion to this delicious alcoholic beverage. Where do I start with this place? Let's describe it first in very concrete terms. It's a DYI brewery with everything you need to brew your own 50L keg of beer. Let me please reiterate this: 50 L of beer. 140 long neck. Brews Brothers provides the malts, sugars, hops, yeasts and even the large vats to cook your desired concoction. Don't have a family recipe? Have no fear. They have a beer menu of literally hundreds of different styles of beer (check the website). My friends and I have brewed several kegs and I've personally enjoyed most the Belgian Tripel and Tokyo Superdry. The former is a dark smooth beer with the consistency of Duvel while the latter is like an Asahi or Kirin. If you've never brewed or bottled beer, the staff is always available to lend a hand throughout the process. They're incredibly helpful and chill even when there are a lot of people in the store. So let's say you don't want to brew 50L but you still want to sample the wide range of beers. What can you do? There are a couple options and yes I've tried them all: - 6 pack variety ($15-20 depending on the types of beer you choose) - 24 pack carton ($30-40 if you bring your own bottles - they tend to have 10-15 different types of beer on type to choose from and you effectively just bottle one of those kegs yourself without having to do the entire brewing process from the start) - ready-made 50L keg ($150-200 for the beer + $50L for keg rental) We did this for a house party and it was well worth it! Honestly I could go on and on about this place but there's no substitute for actually visiting. Grab a couple friends and go! I promise you won't regret it.

We've all been there before. You decided one summer that you wanted to start making homebrew. You…read moredidn't do something right and your brew got infected, or you didn't add enough sugar when bottling, (or some other problem happened) and you ended up with a whole lot of nasty beer and vowed never to try it again. You should try again because Brews Brothers is here to stop you from messing it up a second time around. Brews Brothers looks like an old office space that's had it's guts ripped out and has been transformed into a brewer's paradise. You've got your brew kettles, brew fridges, and bottling stations set up spick and span for your use. All the brews are 50 litres (144 330ml stubbies), and will set you back anywhere from $150 to $200. Depending on what brew you choose to make, it will take from two weeks up to a month to complete the process and walk out with your 50 litres. You are of course, welcomed to bring in your own recipe and try it out. They've got all the hops, malts, sugars, and grains you need to do whatever you want. The guys are really friendly, they know their beer and they're keen as mustard to get in there and help you put on a brew. You can buy beer from them outright without having to make it yourself too. There's also a space upstairs that they rent out to musos and bands on weekends. It costs $60 per hour (please check website), and you have to buy $150 worth of their beer. The best thing about making your own beer is that you can make a tonne of brew specially designed to your acquired tastes on the cheap that won't give you a hangover because it's preservative and chemical free. You also learn something about science while you're at. How can you argue with that?
