NUMEROUS times I’ve been to Newstead Brewing Co. In MILTON, Brisbane. It was one of my LOCALS and one of my FAVOURITES.

Kenjin
K, this is annoying: going to write my REVIEW for Kenjin and not finding good PHOTOS! (Keep reading for Kenjin’s EXCLUSIVE deal for Chick Walks Into a Bar followers!) First, let’s start with a photo of the front: MAYBE you can’t tell from the street – if it’s a CLUB or a RESTAURANT, but that’s…

Jolly Roger Bar
JAUNTING through the tavern door, I STRODE into the Jolly Roger, a bustling bar in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. I was met with the unmistakable scent of ADVENTURE and the hearty laughter of fellow SEA DOGS! COUNT the skull and crossbones. INSIDE: graffiti on the walls!

Easy Times Brewing Company
Even tho I was doing “Dry July” (at the time) it did not stop me going to the bars – Greg was keen to get away from the office, so we did a lunch visit to Easy Times at Woolloongabba. I walked in and (NOT to be too distracted by the pretty beer taps) Told…

Caxton St Brewing Company
Called to me! from across the street: THAT place, that used to be a Fritzenberger – now had bold new signage: Caxton Street Brewing Company. Though Brisbanites (as old as me) will also remember it as the Casablanca club – yep, WAY back. So I went to see what the new NEW owners had done…
