Newstead Brewing Co

Brisbane


What was once a bus depot is now a pumping microbrewery, its 12 taps pouring six standard house brews, one cider and five seasonal beers. For an enlightening overview, order the paddle board of different brews. If beer doesn't rock your boat, knock back cocktails, craft spirits or wine from a small, engaging list of smaller producers.

On the food front, snub the underwhelming pizzas for the deliciously spicy, tangy buffalo wings.
