Our Core Range
Welcome to Hiker Brewing Co, a local Brisbane brewery in two locations serving a large range of beer styles. We’re proud to showcase these six beers as part of our core range offering. They’re the most approachable and very easy drinking. All of our core range beers are available on tap and takeaway at both venues at all times.
Limited Releases
These beers are where we get to take a hike to somewhat traditional norms and flex our creativity. Some of these beers are seasonal, and some will be one-off, and we don’t always know what will be what until you vote with your drinking of them! Keep an eye on this list as they are updated regularly, and you might even find some jumping in and out of the Past Beers section!

Limited Edition & Seasonals
We’ve always got something exciting coming along to grace your tastebuds. Our limited edition and seasonal beers are both exciting and flavourful. They are also however, sometimes only around for a short time. We do occasionally bring back beers year on year with some small changes, but others are a one-off beer only.
Due to the nature of these beers being limited, we don’t always have them on tap or in can at both venues. If we have beers in can only at our venues, you’re able to buy a single can and drink it at the venue for the price of a Schooner.
Wee Little
Light Scottish Ale 3.5%
Wee Little is a mid-strength beer, but not as you know it. Think of it as a sessionable version of a Scotch Ale. Light on the palate with a dry finish, but packed full of sweet caramel malt flavour. Read how it came about here. Available seasonally.

Hasta La Vista
Brut IPA – 6.6%
Hasta La Vista is a Brut IPA that’ll have your taste buds saying, “I’ll be back for more!” Brewed with Vista hops, this Terminator 2-inspired concoction pours a golden molten metal hue, and its aroma is a symphony of melon, pear and papaya, like the roar of a Harley.

Clean, like a time-travel paradox resolved. No lingering bitterness, just a cool, metallic echo. “Hasta La Vista” tells ordinary beers, “Take a hike, baby.” So, don your leather jacket, shades, and savour this terminator of a brew. Cheers to a hoppy Judgment Day!

Hira Haze
NZ Hazy IPA – 7.5%
Hira Haze is a big, juicy, hazy IPA hopped exclusively with NZ hop varieties. We’ve used a healthy dose of Nelson Sauvin hop pellets along with both Wakatu and Southern Cross lupulin extracts from our friends at Freestyle Hops. The Nelson gives plenty of juicy stone fruit and grape, while the Wakatu & Southern Cross provide plenty of herbal and grassy notes. This makes for hazy that’s a little different to most other tropical fruit salad bombs out there.
