If you’re craving a seaside escape, less than an hour’s drive north of Brisbane will take you directly to paradise. Together Caloundra and the neighbouring town of Kawana form the Southern Gateway to the Sunshine Coast, and while they are known for their breathtaking coastal location, there’s plenty more to these regions than first meets the eye.
Your Mates Brew House is the home of famous Sunshine Coast beer company, Your Mates Brewing Co. Adored by locals and visitors from afar, the Brew House features a full tap list of Your Mates brews, restaurant menu, arcade area and huge seating and function areas. It plays host to live music every Friday, Saturday and Sunday and is the perfect spot for after-work knock-off drinks, weekend get-togethers or large parties and functions. To top it off, Your Mates Brewery’s Larry pale ale was voted the fourth-best craft beer in Australia in this year’s GABS Hottest 100 awards.
