Distilleries
TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN DISTILLERY
Hidden away in the Gold Coast Hinterland, is the Tamborine Mountain Distillery. This is Australia’s smallest operating Pot Still Distillery, but of world renown, including in Europe, America, Canada, New Zealand and Asia.
With the Combination of rich red volcanic soils and fresh Spring Water, the abundant fruit of the Mountain is fermented and distilled.A small Pot Still is used to create the superb spirit which is the essence and foundation of Liqueurs, Schnapps, Vodka and Eaux de Vie.
Although Michael and Alla Ward’s Distillery has only been open a short time (July 1998) they have already established a very enviable reputation as creators of high quality liqueurs, vodkas, schnapps and eaux-de-vie. This reputation, largely developed by word of mouth, has seen people coming not only from all Australian states but America, Europe and Asia as well.
The Distillery’s products have won awards in America (Chicago, San Francisco) and Europe (London, Belgium, Germany, Austria).The incredible range of fruit that is grown on Tamborine Mountain is a wonderful resource for the Ward’s to draw from to produce their variety of Liqueurs and Schnapps. The Distillery also receives a considerable diversity of fruit from other growers which they turn into beautiful, smooth, Schnapps, Liqueurs, Fruit Brandy, Gins and Vodkas.

BEARD AND BRAU
Beard & Brau is a Queensland boutique farmhouse brewery.
In 2012 Tanya and Chris moved from Adelaide (home of their previous brewery) to Tamborine, at the foot of Tamborine Mountain where they have since put their hearts and minds into constructing a brewery that uses locally grown ingredients in an environmentally friendly environment.
Featuring a range of six core beers, several experimental brews and many one-off seasonal releases, Beard & Brau highlight the use of local ingredients, from honey to orange blossom, tart mulberries to stinging nettles.
The beers, like the brewery’s name and logo, have a dog-related theme: Golden Paw, Red Tail, Black Snout and Bon Chiens farmhouse ale, for example, all in honour of their pet Schnauzers.
