About
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.

Windjammer IPA from Green Beacon Brewing Company

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Can. Clear pale amber with a white head. Aroma of oranges, pepper, pine, biscuit. Lightish bodied. Some tropical fruit as well as biscuit, modest orange and grapefruit notes, some resin and a fair bit of pepper at the moderately bitter finish. Not sure this has canned all that well, seems a bit tired.

Can. Hazy yellow with a white head that doesn’t last all that well. Gentle aroma with wheat, lemon pudding, passionfruit. A bit on the watery side. Gently bread with a bit of a wheaty twang, some fruity touches. Finish is quite dry with little bitterness. Quite refreshing. Not really my sort of thing but more than competently made. Would go well on a steamy Brisbane night.
