About Black Hops Brewery

Tucked into the Burleigh backstreets—no kitchen fuss, no gimmicks, just cold beer straight from the tanks. Regulars steer mates toward four-pour paddles, moving through hazy IPAs, barrel-aged saisons, and crisp ginger cider. Board games sit by the tables, dogs sprawl on the floor, and the front fridge stays loaded when you need a roadie for home.

  • Custom Tasting Paddles: Flights of four showcase rotating taps, spanning crisp ginger cider, barrel-aged Saisons, and hop-forward IPAs.
  • Backstreet Taproom Chill: A dog-friendly space set back from highway traffic, equipped with board games and communal seating.
  • Cold Takeaway Fridge: On-site takeaway fridges let you haul home limited-run cans, seasonal releases, and brewery merchandise.
