Slipstream Brewing Named One of Queensland's Top 3 Pubs and the #1 Venue for Independent Queensland Beer

We're incredibly proud to announce that Slipstream Brewing has been voted one of the Top 3 Best Pubs in Queensland in the 2026 Queensland Day "All The Best" Awards.

Even more special for our team, Slipstream was recognised as the highest-ranked venue pouring Queensland-made independent beer, making us the #1 venue for independent Queensland beer in the state rankings.

For a proudly independent brewery and hospitality business that started in Brisbane with a passion for brewing great beer and creating memorable experiences, this recognition means a lot.

A Queensland Brewery Built by Community Support

Since opening our doors in Yeerongpilly in 2017, Slipstream Brewing has grown from a local craft brewery into one of Queensland's most awarded independent breweries.

Over the years, we've been fortunate to welcome thousands of locals, visitors, families, beer lovers and community groups through our venues. Whether you've joined us for a brewery tour, live music session, family lunch, trivia night, special event or simply a fresh pint of beer, you've helped shape the Slipstream story.

Being recognised among the best pubs in Queensland is not just a reflection of our beer. It's a reflection of the incredible team, customers and community that continue to support local hospitality and independent brewing.

Award-Winning Craft Beer Brewed in Queensland

At the heart of Slipstream Brewing is our commitment to producing high-quality, flavour-driven craft beer.

Our brewery has earned national and international recognition, including:

• Champion Brewery titles at the Royal Queensland Beer Awards

• Champion Small Australian Brewery at the Australian International Beer Awards

• Multiple Champion Beer trophies

• More than 35 medals at the 2026 Australian International Beer Awards, including 10 Gold Medals

From hop-forward IPAs and crisp lagers through to barrel-aged stouts and wild ales, our brewing team continues to push for quality while staying true to our mission of creating pure flavour and flowing good times.

More Than Just a Brewery

While great beer remains our foundation, Slipstream has evolved into a destination for food, events and hospitality.

Our Yeerongpilly Bar & Kitchen has become a favourite Brisbane brewery venue, offering:

• Freshly brewed craft beer

• Family-friendly dining

• Live music and entertainment

• Trivia and community events

• Brewery tours

• Function and event spaces

In 2024, we expanded to the Sunshine Coast with the opening of Slipstream Brewing Social House in Birtinya, bringing our passion for independent beer and hospitality to a new community.

Today, both venues continue to focus on creating experiences that bring people together.

Supporting Independent Queensland Beer

Being recognised as Queensland's highest-ranked venue pouring independent Queensland beer is something we're particularly passionate about.

Independent breweries play an important role in local communities, creating jobs, supporting local suppliers and offering beer lovers genuine choice.

Every time someone chooses an independent brewery, they're helping support local manufacturing, local hospitality and local families.

We're proud to be part of Queensland's thriving independent beer industry and grateful to everyone who chooses to support local.

Thank You Queensland

To everyone who voted for Slipstream Brewing in the Queensland Day All The Best Awards, thank you.
