We start the day with a visit to one of the Coast's best breweries, Black Hops II, where we will taste from their core range alongside their special release beers on tap. After some beer education we get a behind-the-scenes tour of their production site and look at past pictures to understand just how far they've come.

From here, we settle in for a leisurely drive (about 30 minutes) up Mount Tamborine. Take in the scenery, chat with your fellow beer lovers and share stories during the trip, or maybe play some music and get the karaoke going!

Upon arrival at Fortitude Brewing (around 2pm) we will see the working brewery and all the equipment involved in producing some delicious beer. We dive into delicious pizzas and tickle your tastebuds with beers from the Catchment Group's three breweries: Fortitude Brewing, Catchment Brewing and Ballistic Beer. If the season is right, we may even get some Noisy Minor special releases, like the Grim RIIPA or Admiral Ackbar. It's (not) a trap!

Once your belly has a a lining on it, we’ll give you some free time to explore the Gallery Walk on your own (30-45 minutes depending on time), where you can pick up souvenirs, taste fudge or even mix up the day by sampling some local wines (at your own cost).

Our final stop is EITHER Boxer Brewing, located at Witches Falls Winery, where you can decide if you want to stick to the beers or keen to try a few wines or ciders, OR Cauldron Distillery, the mountain's newest distillery featuring gorgeous outdoor seating, and delicious, award-winning, locally distilled gins. 

Be aware that the road down is a bit windy, so if you suffer from motion or car sickness, please ensure you have something to combat it or sit near the front of the van.

Once back in the city, we will drop you off at your original pick-up location.

Don't forget to bring a photo ID with you. All your friends may know you're of-age, but it's only the first time we've met, and we'd hate for you to get turned away from any of the breweries by looking too young to appreciate good brews.

Please note that we are visiting working breweries and it’s suggested you wear closed-toe shoes so you don’t miss out on any of the fun. Also, since they don’t always run on a set schedule, we will try and catch the brewers in action but that can’t always be guaranteed; keep an open mind on the day because no matter what or who we see, the beers are always epic. Sometimes the itineraries will change at a whim; this may be because of traffic, a last-minute decision from the brewery or any number of things, so we ask for your patience and flexibility.
