Felons Brewing Co
$Brisbane's home brewery in a beer hall right under the Story Bridge
Pull up at a long picnic bench under the Story Bridge with a beer brewed 50 metres away. Felons Brewing Co is the anchor tenant at Howard Smith Wharves and the most-Brisbane brewery experience you can have — riverfront, casual, walk-in. The taproom pours core beers (Crisp Lager, Pale Ale, Pacific Ale, IPA) plus an ever-changing line-up of limited releases in four pour sizes. The kitchen does wood-fired pizzas, burgers, and elevated pub classics, and the adjoining Felons Fish & Chipper handles the seafood side. Next door, Felons Barrel Hall is the bigger sibling — barrel-aged beers and Thai-influenced shared plates Thursday through Sunday. Open daily from 11am until late.
