Best Selection of Beers In Brisbane

Been to a good pub, or bad, lately? Found a bar with a great selection of beer? Looking for a new local or somewhere to visit on holidays?

Just found out that there are some new beers coming this Friday.

Some Feral brews from WA including Hop Hog? I think.

Also Erdinger is coming in October.

Just back from lunch.

Tried the Feral white, Hophog and the Big Helga from Matilda Bay.

All good, very tasty none blew me away though.

There is also a Burleigh Brewers Ale, which is brewed for the platform bar...didn't try it and will save that for my 'waiting for the train' beer later.

If anyone is interested in some Matilda Bay Sebastian Reserve you can get a bottle for $10 at the First Degree bar. I had a chance to enjoy a few glasses earlier this week and really enjoyed it.

I had a chance to try the Feral Hop Hog at the Platform today. I'm a big fan of the American pale ale and this one definitely delivered. Big cascade aroma and initial flavour finishing with a nice balancing bitterness.

Unfortunately they'd run out of the Big Helga though :(

Had one Sunday at the Good Food & Beer Lunch, & it was now filtered and introduced as Matilda Bay's new beer. Have to say it wasn't as big as the unfiltered keg they had to kick-off Craftoberfest.

I should be heading to the Platform again on Friday so hopefully they'll still have some going then.

w00t! They still have some of those Horn Dog Barleywines?

And the Feral Hop-Hog is gone? How about the Alpha Pale?

Do it!

Do it!

Do it!


You won't regret putting that peer pressure on your mates for a second. Rather, they will thank you profusely after you drag them along.

Ross - I could hardly make the trip to Brissy without dropping by the shop to say G'day!

Just working out the logistics as I will be there with non brewing, megaswill drinkers. Will be either Friday the 6th or Saturday the 7th of November.

I made it in there last night, memory of the beer list is a little vague though.

Little Creatures Rogers
Little Creatures Pale Ale
Little Creatures White Rabbit
Feral Hop Hog
Stone & Wood Draught Ale
Burleigh Brewer's Ale
Sunshine Coast Dark Lager
Monteith's Original Ale

I think that's all of them.

Loved the SC Dark & Feral Hop-Hog!

They got the Sunny Coast Dunkel back on last night? The afternoon had the #2 slot as LC Roger's.
Enjoyed the Stone Beer and the Meantime IPA.

They've been swapping between the Dunkel and Dark Ale the last few times I've been there.
