"XXXX Gold is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most iconic and popular beers, first introduced in 1924 and still today brewed in iconic Castlemaine Perkins Brewery in the inner-suburb of Milton in Brisbane. Given its notoriety and legendary status both in Australia and abroad it is no wonder that one of the most popular things to do in Brisbane is to book onto a XXXX brewery tour which takes you through the 140+ year history of Queensland’s most enigmatic brewery. You’ll learn all about this classic brew, their world-class brewing methods, ingredients and, obviously, how to pour the perfect XXXX."
"Break away from the beach and get a slice of tranquility in the lush hinterland of Mt Tamborine, where a stop at Fortitude Brewing Co. is essential. The local and independent Australian brewing company boats a selection of over fifteen boutique beers, including the Fortitude Brewing Co. beers brewed on site. Make a day of your visit to the mountain and park up with a tasting paddle for two and a snack, whether it be one of their legendary wood-fired pizzas, or a cheese platter from the award winning Witches Chase Cheese Company."
"Founded in late 2012 by Ged Connors, Jim O’Çonnor and Ian Watson, Fortitude Brewing today boasts an expansive brewery and tasting room on Mt Tamborine with ten rotating taps of Fortitude and Noisy Minor beers. Head Brewer Ian Watson has raised the standard of Australian lager, his Belgium-styled Pale Lager now a Queensland favourite."
"Mount TamborineLocated in the lush hinterland of Mount Tamborine, this brewing mainstay is popular with locals and visitors alike. Pick-up a paddle to sample the Fortitude Brewing range and pair it with a mouth-watering antipasto plater featuring the famous Mount Tamborine Witches Chase cheeses."
"Brewdog’s huge new Brisbane brewery isn’t just the lynchpin for the Scottish craft beer giant’s Australian distribution plans, it’s also a damn fine place for a drink and a meal in its own right. The handsome, well-thought out space is defined by rough-hewed timber, banks of blue leather booths and an enormous keg feature wall. Outside, communal tables provide riverside views."
"Ballistic Beer Co. could be seen as being a little greedy in Brisbane, as the brewery has three venues!. The Salisbury HQ is the original site and found inside an old World War II ammunitions factory (which provided inspiration for the name). Both the Salisbury and the Springfield venues have operating breweries, with the West End venue being a more simple bar serving the range."
"This New Farm local is the OG of American places in Brisbane. Previously called Blue Smoke, it’s been dishing up authentic BBQ from their wood-fired grill since 2006. This is one of the few places that do ribs like they do in Texas – with plenty of smoky flavour and a sauce that’s not too sweet."
"Situated by the waters of Raby Bay Harbour at Cleveland, the Harbour Day Spa and Salon is an oasis of tranquility and relaxation. Services include massages, facials, a hair salon and luxurious spa treatments. Raby Bay has an abundance of cafes overlooking the harbour for a sweet treat before or after your spa treatment."
"Business partners and best friends, Tracy and Leanne, have been running the spa for more than 16 years now. They go above and beyond to bring their clients the highest standards of spa services, and surely, they deliver. You are in for an ultimate and luxurious spa experience when you walk through their doors."
"SkinSpirit Day Spa in Tarragindi is an urban oasis offering a full menu of amazing spa treatments to nurture every soul. From the standard 60 minute massage to a three hour special, SkinSpirit Day Spa goes the extra mile to help lift that stress away. They’ll offer you the perfect escape from reality with hot stone massages, scalp relaxation massages, facials, maternity treatments and so much more."
"Fresh, authentic Italian food made with love is on the menu at Osteria Epoca on Orontes Road in Yeronga. Timber beams and worn brick walls entice diners into this chic and cheerful restaurant, where r..."
"Partners in food and life, Valentina Vigni and Andrea Contina are the duo behind La Lupa. Driven by a passion to keep traditional Italian cuisine and philosophies alive in Brisbane, expect authentic dishes and hospitality that makes the setting feel more home than restaurant. There’s beautiful antipasti dishes, pasta and Florentine t-bone steak to share, but there’s no going past the pizza."
"Nestled in the West End’s newest hub, Lupa Pizza Bar serves up authentic Roman-style pizza, which has a lighter, crisper base than its Neapolitan counterpart. Once you’ve had your fill, pop next door to La Macelleria to end the night with a serve of authentic Italian gelato. Light + Co, 321 Montague Rd, West End lupapizzabar.com.au"
"After researching and experimenting with its pizza dough, Lupa Pizza Bar have created a dough that won’t leave you bloated or heavy. Instead, the dough is crisp and fresh, layered with homemade sauces and ingredients. You’ll have to try one to believe it yourself."
"Thanks to the food gods at Beccofino, you can now enjoy the tastes of Italy without booking a plane ticket. Known throughout Brisbane for its divine duck ragu that brings locals in by the flock, it’s also one of the must-do spots for authentic, woodfired pizza. This Teneriffe restaurant is the perfect place to kick back and while away the afternoon with a margherita pizza and glass of rosé in hand."
"Location: TeneriffePopular menu items: They are an Italian restaurant and pizza place, so if you’re looking for authentic Italian, it’s here!. Try the tomato, buffalo mozzarella, capocollo, chilli and parmigiano pizza. Or the Buffalo mozzarella, porcini mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, basil and scamorza pizza (photo).Pick up: YesLocal Delivery: No."
"The sibling Italian restaurant to Julius Pizzeria, Beccofino more than stands out on its own. Like Julius Pizzeria, Beccofino make a ripping pizza, with dough so crisp you’ll needn’t worry about soggy, sagging crust. Along with the pizza, you’ll find all the traditional pastas and desserts to leave you full and satisfied."
