About this tour
A 3–4 hour guided brewery tour on the Gold Coast visiting three local craft breweries, with all tastings included. You'll learn the histories behind each venue and the region's growing beer industry, supported by a local guide in an air-conditioned vehicle. Small groups mean you'll get genuine insight into the craft beer scene rather than a rushed, impersonal experience. Note: one-hour train ride required from Brisbane CBD to reach the meeting point.
Highlights
- Visit three Gold Coast craft breweries with behind-the-scenes access
- All beer tastings included; no hidden costs for samples
- Local guide shares brewery histories and industry context

What to expect
You'll be collected from your chosen pickup point on the Gold Coast and driven to the first of three breweries. At each stop, your guide will walk you through the venue's story, the brewing process, and what makes their beers distinctive, then you'll taste a selection of their brews. The pace is leisurely — you're not rushing through; there's time to chat with staff and other tasters, ask questions, and actually engage with what you're drinking. Between breweries, you'll travel in the air-conditioned vehicle (journey times vary by traffic). The tour wraps up with a return trip to your designated drop-off point.

Good to know
This suits anyone 18+ keen to explore craft beer culture and support local producers, whether you're a seasoned beer enthusiast or curious newcomer. Not recommended if you're pregnant. Closed-toe shoes are required. A four-person minimum applies; tours may be cancelled after booking if numbers don't meet this threshold, though you'll be offered an alternative date or refund. The itinerary is flexible — the three breweries listed are samples only and may change. Getting there: if you're in Brisbane, allow roughly one hour on public transport to Helensvale Station to reach the meeting point; the tour operator doesn't cover this leg. Food and lunch aren't included. You must bring photo ID. The operator can refuse service to anyone showing signs of intoxication.
