Gold Coast Half-Day Brewery Tour

1 to 4 hours

Overview

This half-day brewery tour is a straightforward way to try the Gold Coast’s craft beer scene without sorting out transport yourself. You’ll visit three local breweries, hear a bit about the breweries and the rise of craft beer in the area, and get tastings included along the way. It’s a small-group experience, so it suits travellers who want a social afternoon built around beer rather than a big party tour.

Why backpackers love it

It keeps the planning simple: transport, brewery stops and tastings are all organised in one booking. That makes it handy if you’re staying on the Gold Coast and want a social afternoon out without paying for taxis between venues. At $159, it’s not the cheapest activity, so it makes more sense if you’re genuinely into craft beer and want a guided tasting experience rather than just going to one pub on your own.

What to expect

The tour runs for around 3 to 4 hours and includes pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points. Over the session, you’ll stop at three local craft breweries and sample a range of beers, with a local guide leading the day. Expect some behind-the-scenes insight, brewery stories and plenty of tasting. Closed-toe shoes are required, and you’ll need to be 18 or over with photo ID. If you’re coming from Brisbane, note that this takes place on the Gold Coast, with Helensvale roughly an hour by train from Brisbane CBD.
