Description
A pioneer of the Brisbane craft beer scene, Green Beacon was founded in 2013 with the vision of creating a world class beer culture for the people of Brisbane.
It started with two mates and a couple of beers on the sandunes of Moreton Island, Queensland. Looking back over the bay towards Brisbane, a Green Beacon was spotted, an idea then sprouted, and Brisbane’s first craft brewery was born. The doors to Green Beacon’s Teneriffe brewery were opened on the Australia Day weekend of 2013.
