We had an excellent experience on the Hop-On Brewery Tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Our host, Joslyn, was outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable about beer, spirits, and wine production, and shared her expertise in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. She paced the tour perfectly and tailored it well to our group, making the experience both informative and relaxed. The breweries we visited were all excellent, with fantastic tastings at each stop.

Thank you so much for the excellent review and feedback! The day with your crew was so much fun! Karaoke to ABBA and Queen, plenty of tasters and laughs, overall a wonderful birthday celebration. We're so fortunate to have so many incredible breweries and distilleries in our area, and the quality of their products is hard to beat. Glad that you all embraced the day and added a few extra samples to the stops ;) We can't wait to welcome you back during your next visit to SE Queensland! Cheers and beers, Joslyn and Matt

Awesome

Whether you are a homebrewer, beer drinker or craft beer enthusiast you will have a great day out with the lads, the ladies or both. Our wives went and pampered themselves while we took the tour, had a ball, learned a heap about beer, laughed, ate, and drank cracking beers. Highly recommend!

Thanks for the awesome review and feedback Rogues, it's much appreciated and we're glad to hear that you enjoyed the day out with us including both the beers, food and info that went along with it! Hope that it was a good Birthday for you and that the rest of the night went well (and you weren't in too much pain with that foot). Was a pleasure hosting you and the lads and we'd love to welcome you back again should you ever be wanting to explore more of the booming GC or Brissie beer scenes. Cheers and Beers , Matt and Jos

Bucks Party Success

Matt picked up a group of 12 lads for a bucks party and didn't miss a beat, it was fun, energetic and extremely informative. Matt has nailed the balance, but his passion and personality really make it special. You also drink a lot of interesting beers, so a huge green tick.

Thanks for the awesome review and feedback Colin, we really appreciate it! We absolutely loved having you and the lads on board for Ben's Bucks Bash and we're so glad to hear that enjoyed both the Jet skiing and the beer tour with the beers and info provided. Hope the rest of the stay on the Gold Coast was equally as awesome and that you guys didn't wake up too dusty on Sunday morning. We'd love to welcome you all back again should you ever be wanting to explore more of the booming GC and Brissie Beer Scenes. Cheers and Beers, Matt and Joslyn!

A great days beer tasting !!

Matt Farrell was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide ! A superb bus tour around 4 breweries on the Gold Coast. A huge selection of beers throughout which were great on the palate for all of our team. Matt made the day great fun and a memorable excursion. A great day out for those who like independent ales and a chance to taste a wide variety !! - highly recommended!!

Thanks for the awesome review and feedback Adrian - it is hugely appreciated! It was such a pleasure having you guys on board all the way from the UK and we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the day out with us. The day was definitely made all the better by the fact that everyone was willing to have a crack at everything (despite some saying they liked what they like). We hope that the rest of the trip went equally as well and you enjoyed the football ( only one loss for you guys on the whole tour was a pretty good result). Also hope you enjoyed the AFL despite my teams poor showing! We'd love to welcome you all back again should you ever be back in Oz and wanting to explore more of our booming craft beer scene Cheers and Beers, Matt and Joslyn

All hail the beermeister!

Wow, Matt Farrelly is the man! A superb bus tour around 4 breweries on the Gold Coast. What he doesn’t know about beer isn’t worth knowing and all with a straight-talking, in-your-face, Aussie style! A great fun day with the beermeister and some great craft beers, ales, stouts and even a few ginger beers along the way - highly recommended!!
