This craft beer adventure takes you to three of the Sunshine Coast’s top breweries, where you’ll enjoy a tasting paddle of beer at each stop. Expect a wide variety of styles—think hop-forward IPAs, crisp lagers, sours, dark ales, and creative seasonal releases—crafted fresh and full of character.
At one of our stops, you’ll go behind the scenes to learn how small-batch beer is brewed, fermented, and poured, with the chance to chat with the brewers and get an insider look at the production process. You’ll also enjoy a delicious brewery lunch, made from locally sourced ingredients and served with a drink of your choice.
Whether you’re a craft beer connoisseur or just keen to explore the local brewery trail, this Sunshine Coast beer tour is the perfect mix of flavour, fun, and laid-back coastal vibes. With cold beer, great company, and scenic views along the way—it’s a refreshing way to discover what makes our region a craft beer hotspot.
