Check out the full itinerary:
Our guide here, Michael “Govs” McGovern shares the Black Hops story as he talks about the beers you’re tasting and explaining the brewing process. We may even be lucky enough to catch them while they’re brewing and really see them in action!
Upon arrival at Fortitude Brewing we will see the working brewery and all the equipment involved in producing some delicious beer. We keep you well hydrated with a tasting paddle of their core beers while we wait for your pre-ordered pizza to enjoy.
Once your belly has a lining on it, we’ll give you some free time to explore the Gallery Walk on your own (45-60 minutes depending on time), where you can pick up souvenirs, taste fudge or even mix up the day by sampling some local wines (at your own cost). From here, we will head down the hill to our final destination.
Be aware that the road down is a bit windy, so if you suffer from motion or car sickness, please ensure you have something to combat it or sit near the front of the van.
If there’s extra time, you can pick up a bag of alpaca food and feed the farm’s alpacas – watch out, they spit! – and try for the elusive “alpaca selfie”, otherwise we’ll finish our chat and bring the tour to a close.
Once back in the city, we will drop you off at your original pick-up location or one of our partner pubs, where you can keep drinking delicious beer to your hearts’ content.
Gold Coast Pick Ups:
- Loose Moose is on the ground floor of the Oasis Centre in the heart of Broadbeach. Easy to reach by G:Link, the Loose Moose is near the taxi rank at the main entrance to the centre.
- Sandbar overlooks the lapping waves of Surfers Paradise. Fill up on their breakfast buffet or sample beers from around the globe (mainly Australia, New Zealand and the US) by the bottle or on tap. A great way to start and end your day, Surfers Sandbar is one block north of Cavill Mall.
- Helensvale Station is a central stop for anyone on the train coming from either direction. We’ll be waiting out where the taxis are so you can’t miss us.
Gold Coast Drop Offs:
We are flexible with our drop-off locations within the city based on guests’ needs and requests.
