Why craft beers are taking over gold coast bars - craft is the new black

 

There has been a revolution brewing for some time now, once hidden in the dark corners of the young, bearded hipster community, craft beer is now hitting the mainstream and taking over The Gold Coast. There is a Gold Coast bar that is embracing the craft beer revolution and providing a haven for Tugun locals and supporting the independent craft brewers at the same time. Backbone Bar is fast becoming the place to be in Tugun while announcing to the other Gold Coast bars that if you want the best range of craft beers then Backbone is the place to be.

Gold Coast is fast becoming a destination for all things craft beers with almost 20 craft breweries located in the Gold Coast alone. The one Gold Coast bar that you are certain to be able to sample crafts beers from many brewers is Backbone Bar. With up to 12 different beers available on tap and many more to try in the traditional can, Backbone is your one stop shop for craft beer on The Gold Coast.

There are almost 20 craft breweries on The Gold Coast alone here are a few that we think are the pick of the bunch.

Pickled Pig Brewery

Located just over the border in Tweed Heads, this family-owned artisan brewery has a small batch process, and their beers and ciders are chemical and preservative free, using organic ingredients whenever possible. Their IPA is a great tasting Belgium influenced beer with robust flavours. Backbone Bar supports The Pickled Pig and often has their beers on tap, you will just have to pop in and a see what is available.

Balter

The story goes that 6 Aussies and a Yank walked into a bar and never left …. That was the start of Balter, simple really. With a philosophy that your taste buds come first, Balter is a beer that can be enjoyed by all craft beer lovers. Making their home in Currumbin, Balter HQ is open from Wednesday to Sunday but you can often find the fridge at Backbone bar stocked full with several of these extremely popular drops.

Black Hops

This is a true Gold Coast success story, made by 3 mates it has won many awards and is now well and truly a Gold Coast craft beer staple, with 3 Taprooms open in QLD they have 7 main beers in the stable and over 20 other limited release beers Black Hops is well worth a visit. The team at Backbone support Black Hops and occasionally have their beers on tap.

There is no doubt that small business reigns supreme on The Gold Coast and what better way to make a living than making beer for your mates. The Gold Coast craft beer explosion started with a simple dream just like that and has never looked back. Backbone has built its reputation on supporting local craft breweries that have similar old school values, beer is a language that we can all understand and there is no better Gold Coast Bar than Backbone for a cold one and a good old fashioned chin wag.
