In this golden age of brewing, we think it’s worth keeping a list of all the new breweries in our city and surrounds. This is a work in progress. Please comment below for recommendations, new breweries, or any information that you would like to add.
What’s included? All breweries with a bar, or somewhere you can visit that may be of interest to our members. We have excluded gypsy brewers, brew-on-premise facilities, and straight commercial production facilities.
Note that most of these breweries are independent, that is they are part of the Independent Brewers Alliance, or have otherwise been verified as having ownership independent of another large brewer or corporate identity. Those marked with an asterisk * are not independent.

Thanks to Tim for the White Brick tip, that’s the latest brewery to be added to the list
I see you have Brews Brothers on the map, there are other extract places like Monkey Tree in Slacks Creek, Loose Moose in Browns Plains and Laughing Lizard down the Gold coast.
Cheers Ryan, I had actually intended to leave ALL the extract place out as I don’t know if they are of much interest to out members.
Hi, Just wondering if Lucha Brewing Co. is going to be added to this list? Would be great to see them there 🙂
Hi Sandie, thank you for the reminnder, this list is now quite out of date and needs fixing. We recently posted a positive review of Lucha in our newsletter. We don’t post these publicly, but all our members are keen to visit. Cheers!
