About this tour
Spend three to four hours exploring the Gold Coast's craft beer scene with a local guide. Visit three working breweries, taste their signature brews, and learn how the region's hop industry has flourished. Small groups keep things intimate whilst you chat directly with brewers and discover what sets each operation apart. The tour departs from designated Gold Coast meeting points—note that it's roughly an hour by train from Brisbane CBD to the starting location.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the designated pickup point and travel by air-conditioned vehicle to the first brewery. Each stop includes a walkthrough of the brewing process, the story behind the business, and multiple tasters—bring your appetite for flavour exploration, not food. The pace is relaxed; you're free to ask questions and chat with staff. Itineraries shift seasonally, so the three venues you visit may differ from what's advertised. Expect to be on your feet for portions of each visit.

Minimum group size is four; cancellations can occur if numbers don't reach this threshold. Public transport options exist if you need to reach the meeting point.
