Bowen Hills, Queensland, Australia
At Brewtal, our goal is pretty freakin’ simple. We want to take everything that is awesome about the good beer world and filter it through a Boss MT-2 distortion pedal, hardwired to two Marshall stacks straddling a tank full of the finest water, malt, hops and yeast one can sell their soul for until nothing is left but grim, glorious, uncompromising and unrelenting ale. Even more simply put, we brew beer. We brew the beer that we want to brew. We brew for fun, we brew for community, we brew to challenge and we brew to learn. We don’t own a brewery - we borrow our friends’ instead. Our batches are small – and that means our prices may not be cheap. We might brew for the season, or we might not. We might change the recipe from batch to batch, depends how we feel. One thing is guaranteed though – our beers will be full of flavour, fun, and a little bit of fear. We hope you enjoy them. For now, our beers are seasonal and draft only, which means when we release a beer, you can be assured to find it on tap in one of Brisbane’s finest drinking establishments, but only for a limited time. Outside of the four main seasonal releases, you can expect to see limited runs of old favourites, experimentals and one off batches pop up throughout the year. Follow our various social media streams below to stay on top of our one-off releases, and for other grim updates, live action shots and metal claw action.

Wilston, Queensland, Australia
Welcome ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. Thank you for choosing Archer Brewing. Archer Brewing is a Brisbane based independent brewery. Our core fleet is made up of a mid-strength Lager, Rice Lager, Pale Ale and I.P.A. all brewed by our brewer, Chris Fletcher. Our fleet of beers are made from 100% Australian ingredients. We are independently owned and strive to use as much local produce as possible. The idea for Archer Brewing was born on a flight from Melbourne to Brisbane. Stuart Martin, one of our owners and an ex-commercial pilot, decided to chase a dream. The first plane Stuart ever flew was an Archer and it was love at first flight. So when it came to naming his second love, beer, it was a no brainer. Once landed, Stuart had a conversation with Lucy Martin, and then Archer Brewing took flight. The concept was to brew easy-drinking beers using only the produce our bountiful country has to offer. Choosing what style of beers we’d brew was just as simple as choosing the name. The challenge was to produce a range using 100% Australian ingredients, and the results will have you soaring above the clouds. Our flight crew consists of Chris Fletcher (Head Brewer), Stuart Martin (Sales) and Lucy Martin (Media and Administration). Feel free to move about the cabin, but sit back, relax and enjoy the flight. Once again, thank you for choosing Archer Brewing. Happiness inbound.

From brewing our first batches in the garage of our share house, to carving out our niche in the hospitality industry - we are a small crew of real people with a shared love of crafting exceptionally wonderful beer. And no-one likes to ‘beer’ alone, so we have gone and transformed a big ol workshop into a modern, breezy brewery so everyone can enjoy and ‘beer’ together. We strive to connect with all our ingredients, the land they were grown on, and the people that plant, pick, deliver and pour. Being the locals that we are, Precinct Brewing connects with our customers and community, to listen, empathise and celebrate. Oh, and we are an optimistic team of ‘pint half-full’ kind of people. Our brewery is the place to ‘beer’ after all.
