Pick-up Times Flexible
The tour starts mid-morning at your chosen pick-up point on the Sunshine Coast. Relax on the short drive or, if your group is feeling upbeat, bring your music to get the party started.
Soon, you’ll be rolling up to the first of our four Sunshine Coast breweries, Brouhaha. It’s a production brewery capable of pouring forth Sunshine Coast craft beer like a seemingly limitless underground spring. Brouhaha Sunshine Coast is a happening place – a bar and taproom at one end of the space is where punters can enjoy the fruits of the brewers’ labour with a coastal vibe. Sixteen taps pour beers of all tastes.
Jump back in the minibus for the short drive to your next stop, Warana-based Your Mates Brewing Co, a uniquely successful craft brewery (Best New Brewery Beery Award 2019) with an awesome from-underdog-to-top-dog backstory, an array of popular beers and damn good food.
Hep and McGarry, the co-founders of Your Mates, say that their brewery is built on good mates, good times and good beer – and it shows! As soon as you step inside, you’ll feel right at home.
Tuck into your freshly prepared lunch with local produce along with a taste of Larry, an Australian pale ale that was Your Mates’ first-ever local beer – and voted the 4th most popular beer in all of Australia. Pretty good going, huh? With two brew kits, Your Mates can brew 6,000 litres of local beer at a time, and with the kegs and fermenters, there’s a heck of a lot of beer on the go. There are 12 beers on tap and a few experimental and small batches that are only available on-site.
After lunch, it’s time to get back on the road to drive to the popular Maroochydore surfing resort, Alexandra Headland, for your third and final stop, 10 Toes Brewery. Founded by Rupert and Kelly, an ex-corporate couple who saw the light, it has quickly gained a reputation and followers for the diverse range and depth of its beers.
Its core range includes super thirst-quenching Hell Yes German-style lager, brewed with Pilsner malts and Motueka hops; rich chocolatey Alter Ego, a vanilla porter; and tropical Pipeline pale ale.
Discover the craft and passion behind Coolum Beer Company’s unique brews. Take the last stop to their facilities (when available) and indulge in a tasting session featuring their signature beers. Each brew is crafted with precision and care, offering a true taste of the Sunshine Coast’s vibrant beer culture.

Great fun doing a our own brewery tour around the coast with CTH tours, driver was awesome too, well recommended.
Hi Mark. I meant to get back to you earlier about our tour. I filled out one of your surveys but can I just say, we had such a fantastic day. David was an absolutely terrific guide and driver. He was extremely accommodating and it made for an excellent day out at the breweries. I will be sure to pass on my recommendation to as many people as I can.
Cheers,
