A Gold Coast brewery is officially home to two of the best beers in the world.
Burleigh Brewing has collected two gold medals at the World Beer Championships for its Japan Black and Bighead brews.
Burleigh Brewing CEO and founder Peta Fielding said they were “ecstatic” with the recognition after 18 years of operation.
“Bighead has been part of our core range for over 15 years and we know the Gold Coast loves it,” she said.
“The beers are brewed right here at Burleigh Heads, so it goes to show southeast Queensland is a standout as an alcohol-producing region.”
The World Beer Championships was first run in the U.S. in 1994 by the Beverage Testing Institute and is now regarded as one of the globe’s pre-eminent beer awards.
On the back of international attention, Ms Fielding said they were in talks with a major European beer company about creating a cobranded beer later this year.
The brewery is also eyeing a top 10 slot in the Australian Beer Spectacular (GABS) hottest 100, announced on January 25.
“We’ll be hosting a countdown party at the taphouse on the day, so this is an open invite to everyone to get down there and enjoy the festivities,” Ms Fielding said.
“Top 10 would be an amazing result. It makes a huge difference for small, family fun businesses like ours to get that support.”
