Welcome to your new go-to, Wilston. This is your captain speaking. The brewpub that embraces all its guests to sit, sip, sample and savour great Australian flavours made by locals, for locals is opening today!
From the minds behind the former fridge-fronted Archer’s Bunker in Spring Hill, Lucy and Stuart Martin are no strangers to a good pint. The duo, who have produced their own beers behind the scenes since 2017 in a myriad of Queensland breweries, have always dreamed of setting up shop in a larger space of their own. With a combined 30+ years of hospitality experience in Brisbane and around the world, the team are thrilled to be opening their own venue.
As you enter the large double doors, an iconic portrait of the couple’s Border Collie, Archer overlooks customers from a high vantage point. Pair this with Stuart’s prior-occupation as a commercial pilot and his first flight which happened to be on an Archer plane and the Archer Brewing concept was born. With a focus on brewing easy-drinking beers using only the produce our beautiful country has to offer, their flight of beers is sure to have you soaring above the clouds.
On tap you will find a core range including a mid-strength lager, Pilsner, Pale Ale, I.P.A and Rice Lager. These are all crafted by head brewer Chris Fletcher who hails from 2 Brothers Brewing in Moorabbin, Victoria. Also on the menu will be a new Apple Cider which is made from 100% Stanthorpe Apples as well as a few rotating guest taps which currently feature Sealegs Brewing, Diablo, Brouhaha and 27 South. Wine, spirit and cocktail offerings are no exception to the rule with the full list all stemming from Australian wineries and distilleries.
Looking to nibble while you sip? While the team finalise their lineup of mouth-watering morsels to pair with their exceptional beer, a series of food trucks will rotate and serve up street-side snacks for every appetite that also supports local industry suppliers and farmers.
With a venue housed in a disused WWII hanger, a bar made from the last ever Ansett 727 plane to be flown and space to fit 200 of your closest mates (even furry ones), Archer Brewing is set to soar high on the must-visit breweries lists of Brisbane locals.
