| Your Mates Brewing |
Sunshine Coast brews news
Founded by two mates who quit their jobs to chase their love of beer, Your Mates Brewing is the quintessential Australian dream. The team behind the successful brewery launched their own brewhouse in Warana in late 2018 offering a drool-worthy lunch and dinner menu. They also released a new mid strength lager, called Macca, and their pale ale Larry recently placed in the GABS Hottest 100 Craft Beers of the Year awards.
Meet local producers and discover the Sunshine Coast's amazing fresh produce on the newly launched Farm to Fork Brewery Tour. The tour, run by Sunshine Coast Craft Beer Tours, will share stories on how brewers and producers work together, including how they use spent grain from the brewery to feed local cattle, and finish with lunch at Brouhaha Brewery in Maleny.
What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than kicking back with a cold beer and gourmet pizza? At Glass House Brewery, you can do just that. Over the past few years the Sunshine Coast's craft beer scene has skyrocketed, repositioning the region as a leading brewery destination.
At last count, there were 14 breweries in the region. Glass House Brewery is the latest offering and is setting itself apart with a wholesome Italian-style cuisine.
With seasonal menu changes packed with fresh local produce and new beers on tap, no visit to Brouhaha Brewery in Maleny is ever the same. The brewery turns three this year, and currently on tap is a beer brewed with mango, nectarine and peach, bringing a taste of the Sunshine Coast to the glass.

Exposure to different people and environments through the café will ensure the cats are well adjusted before they are adopted. At the café diners can get their coffee and cake takeaway to sit in the 'Zen Zone' with the cats, with other options for cat meditation and therapy.
