Brisbane's Secret Suburban Breweries

Updated: Sep 23, 2025

Hidden away in the suburban warehouse districts of Brisbane can be found a smattering of secret suburban microbreweries.

Known only to clued-in locals, each one brews its own brand of fully hand-crafted beer for the tasting.

Hidden behind roller doors, some of which pop open on weekends and spring to life with food trucks and live music, they make a great, relaxed alternative to hitting up the inner-city bars. How many have you visited?
