Micro breweries and craft beer tasting
Micro breweries and craft beer tasting on the Gold Coast!
The full day BrewEssence Brewery Tour offers a fantastic and a fun filled opportunity to visit a number of popular micro breweries and experience the emerging craft beer culture on the beautiful Gold Coast and surrounds.
Depending on the day of the week this tour visits 2-3 micro breweries on the Gold Coast where you will taste a wide range of locally brewed craft beer and be given the opportunity of a brewery tour which will take you through the fine art of their brewing process. We also visit 1-2 craft beer outlets with local craft beer on tap.
You will experience first hand the craft beer culture which is steadily growing in popularity on the Gold Coast and surrounds with 2 breweries having launched this year alone.
The majority of the breweries are founded and co-owned by family or friend partnerships with inspirational stories associated as to how they evolved some taking the step from home brewing to commercial brewing.
Amongst this fine group of micro breweries is an award winning brewery having earned Gold medals at the World Beer Championships as well as local recognition.

I have been a practising ceramic artist for the past 34 years. I commenced my initial training as a studio potter with Brother William at the Franciscan Friary Pottery in Brookfield. After ten years of creative wheel thrown table ceramics I travelled overseas and received personal tuition from Fine Ceramic Artists in Taos, New Mexico and Florence, Italy. When I returned to Australia I went on to work in Architectural ceramics producing handmade furniture, tiles, murals and public art installations.
“Brigitte Doering has been experimenting for more than 20 years with a wide range of different materials and medias like varnishes, wood stains, pigments and printing.
“Tony White is an Artist with a background in animation and marine biology. His work is rich in form and texture, creating a space of contemplation for the viewer. His artwork incites the imagination with promises of the movement in nature and the world around us.
Tony has exhibited his work since the late 90s and has had his work held in collections in Europe, Canada and Australia.”[1]. 
“Debaran Wright describes her art as the diary of her life. Her work has been exhibited throughout the region and is held in private collections locally and abroad. Experimenting with a range of material to create her layered and textured works Debaran uses ink, aluminium and bitumen in her artwork.
“Maki Horanai’s art is evocative and serene, conjuring images of the small villages by the seaside where Make was raised. Her breathtaking work draws upon the beauty of nature and gives the viewer a sense of magical realism. Maki’s paintings have gained a following since she moved to Queensland from Japan in 2005. Her work has now been exhibited all over the world and she regularly exhibits in her own gallery and studio space, Mountain Dreams.”[1]
Susan Capan, owner and resident artist of Capanart Gallery, has been painting and drawing all her life. She is mostly self taught, an award winner, private art teacher and guest show judge. Her subject range is varied, although portraiture predominates and customers are amazed at the range of subjects she does paint.
Her studio is at the rear of her gallery on beautiful Mt. Tamborine in Queensland’s, Gold Coast Hinterland, Australia, where she finds plenty of inspiration to paint. Susan is frequently commissioned to paint portraits and is also creating more abstract works in unique styles full of energy and colour.
