    Unless you’ve been living on a remote island free from any form of outside communication, you’ll be well aware the craft beer revolution has not so much descended on Brisbane as started to devour it whole. The past few years have given rise to a haven of breweries, crafty bottleshops and humble taverns rotating through dozens of beers from near and far. But what if you don’t live within stumbling distance of the city’s riverside bars and the vibrant West End bar scene, or close enou

    Who Brews In The Happy Valley?

    When crane operator Cheyne Meehan began working on a high-rise apartment complex in Newstead right next to the Newstead Brewing Company, little did he know his career was about to change. A chance meeting with Newstead’s then senior brewer Jarrett Bravo paved the way for a brewing friendship that would culminate in Happy Valley Brewing Company opening in Stafford and joining Brisbane’s thriving brewing scene.

    Crafty Crawls: Outer North Brisbane - The Crafty Pint

    Unless you’ve been living on a remote island free from any form of outside communication, you’ll be well aware the craft beer revolution has not so much descended on the north of Brisbane as started to devour it whole. The northern suburbs and the recently-named City of Moreton Bay play host to a vast array of breweries, bars and bottleshops, which is perhaps not that surprising given the Moreton Bay Local Government Area is one of the fastest growing in the country and local business owners
