Queensland’s craft brewing market will add a Scottish flavour to its palate from this week as BrewDog turns on the taps at their $30 million production brewery and tap room in Brisbane.

DogTap Brisbane is BrewDog’s first brewery in the Southern Hemisphere and will feature a starting line-up of around 28 taps, which will also incorporate non-alcoholic brews.

Member for Bulimba Di Farmer said DogTap Brisbane would prove a huge drawcard to the area for locals and visitors alike.

“The Murarrie location right on the Brisbane River, combined with the craft brews and local food being served up, will make this a must-visit venue for our area,” she said.

“Best of all, it will create more local jobs, while stimulating new opportunities for other small businesses.”

BrewDog Australia Operations Manager Calvin McDonald said the company was excited to be opening the doors in Queensland.

“When BrewDog started to look at establishing in Australia, the first thing we noticed was the exciting phase the Queensland craft brewing scene was starting to move into,” he said.

“Not only was the number of breweries exploding, but there were some knock-out beers being produced.

“It made choosing to base ourselves in Queensland an easier call, and with the help of the Queensland Government and the Queensland community we look forward to welcoming brew lovers from far and wide to our world-class craft brewery and tap room at Murarrie.”   

BrewDog now export to 60 countries and have more than 90 bars across the globe, including DogTap Brisbane, constructed together with local developer NPD Property group.

Currently craft beer production in Queensland is worth more than $62 million annually, and on average each of the state’s 90 independent craft brewers employs around 20 Queenslanders.
