Brisbane Brewing Co: The New Brisbane Classic

‍

It would be silly to talk about Brisbane’s breweries and microbreweries and not list Brisbane Brewing Co. 

Across two locations - the iconic Brisbane Brewery since 1863, and the newer West End microbrewery - Brisbane Brewing Co is the born, bred, and brewed locally to create a flavour that locals love. So much so, that you can even drop off your own keg for a Brisbane Brewing Co refill. Why just take home a four pack when you can have the whole keg?
