Soapbox Beer is bringing freshly brewed craft beer and top-notch fare to inner city Brisbane with Fortitude Valley’s first brewpub.

Local lads, Luke Nixon and Scott Robertson, have transformed a former Fortitude Valley dance studio into a cool craft microbrewery with industrial rustic fit-out including polished concrete flooring and reclaimed timber.
