A visit to the Gold Coast is never complete without enjoying a few beers at one of the many amazing places around the area. Our Coldie on the Goldie tour for one has picked some of the best of those establishments from suburbs to seafront where your gift recipient can enjoy being chauffeured in private air-conditioned comfort, feasting on a mouth-watering lunch, sample incredible craft beers, and enjoy learning history, all about ingredients, and about the important brewing process.

Our day usually begins with food. The best way to enjoy the delicious flavours craft beer has to offer is with a full belly. Starting at either Lost Palms or The Precinct, they will feast on a scrumptious lunch complete with a tasting paddle to start the day and get them in the boutique beer kind of mood.

After the feast is complete, their next stop will be a visit to Black Hops Brewing – an intimate tasting space; inviting and perfect for exploring and learning all about the brewing process. They will sample the beers themselves, while having the opportunity to chat with the beer-makers directly.

Next stop is Burleigh Brewing - the longest-running brewery on the Gold Coast. This well-known beer company really know how to brew a boutique craft frothy. This stop will include tastings of both their core range and their special releases, and if it’s in action, the tour might also extend to the new brewery to watch all the magic happen.

Finally, a visit to Balter Brewing completes the perfect Gold Coast tour. Choose between funky industrial vibes inside with their steel tanks, or enjoy the famous Queensland sunshine outside on their comfy cushions, while enjoying samples of their newly tapped beers. Balter Brewing will also show them around their brewery – showcasing their methods to perfect boutique beer.

Breweries are always opening up on the Gold Coast, so the itinerary may vary slightly based on the size of the group, traffic, weather, special events, or just on a whim. Stay with us, we promise we only have the best in mind for our guests.
