Brisbane, with its sprawling landscapes and lush greenery, is a hiker’s paradise. Whether you’re craving a challenging climb, a coastal stroll, or a peaceful forest retreat, there’s a trail to match every mood. And what’s a great hike without a well-earned, cold beer at the end? Here’s our guide to the best Brisbane hiking trails and the Hiker Brewing Co. beers that make the perfect post-adventure reward. And for a bonus, every second Tuesday, the Huff N Guzzle crew meet for a run through our local forest!

Mt Coot-tha Summit Track

For the View Chasers

Just 15 minutes from the city, this 1.9 km uphill climb rewards you with stunning panoramic views of Brisbane’s skyline. Perfect for a brisk morning workout or a sunset stroll with mates. After tackling the summit, reach for a crisp, refreshing Wanderer Midstrength Lager – a lighter, full-flavoured lager that keeps the good times rolling without weighing you down.

Glass House Mountains

For the Adventurous Souls

If you’re after something a bit more intense, the Glass House Mountains offer a variety of steep climbs and epic views. Conquer Mt Beerwah or Mt Tibrogargan for a heart-pumping ascent. Once you’re back at base, crack open a Bushwalker Pale Ale – with its bright hop character and well-balanced bitterness, it’s the perfect match for your mountain-sized achievement.

Lamington National Park

For the Nature Lovers

With lush rainforests, ancient trees, and cascading waterfalls, Lamington National Park is a true wilderness escape. Try the Box Forest Circuit or the more challenging Border Track if you’re up for a long haul. After a day spent among the giants, cool off with a Horizon Hazy Pale Ale – a juicy, full-flavoured beer that’s as lush as the forest itself.

Moreton Island

For the Beach Wanderers

If your idea of hiking includes the sound of waves and the feel of sand between your toes, Moreton Island is the spot. Explore the island’s coastal Brisbane hiking trails and freshwater lakes before diving into the ocean. When the sun dips low, reach for a refreshing Hard Hiker Alcoholic Lemon – a crisp, zesty drink that’s perfect for that salty, sun-soaked vibe.

Toohey Forest

For the Urban Adventurers

Just a short drive from the city, Toohey Forest offers a network of trails through dense eucalyptus woodlands, perfect for a quick nature escape without leaving Brisbane. Plus, our Hiker Brewing Co. taproom is right on its doorstep – the ideal spot to rest your legs and toast a day well spent. After wandering the winding paths, unwind with a Toohey Forest Lager – a crisp, smooth lager that captures the essence of the great outdoors.

Daisy Hill Conservation Park

For the Trail Runners

Known for its network of flowy, shaded trails, Daisy Hill is a favourite among mountain bikers and trail runners alike. After tearing up the single tracks, kick back with a Compass Session West Coast IPA – light, punchy, and refreshing, it’s the ideal way to wrap up a fast-paced adventure.
