Awesome Beers 🍻
The tour itself was fab! Matt was a mind of information and the beers were awesome! Fun day with lovely people. 100% recommended.
My only bugbear was booking thru Viator and their outrageous exchange rates! €1.18 / AU$1 😱🤬 The current rate is €1.67 / AU$1 - not good @viator! Left a sour taste to an otherwise fabulous day. An error I won’t be repeating 🤯 My advice: book direct!
Operator response
Thanks for the awesome review and feedback Heidi, we truly appreciate it! It was such a pleasure having you and Leanne on board with us and it's so good to hear that you enjoyed the day out and everything it entailed. We did have an awesome crew and the day was made all the better by the fact that everyone got on so well. Was so impressed that tried everything on offer given you said you're more of a cider girl too!
Hope the rest of your travels in Oz and Sri Lanka are amazing and would love to see you back if you are ever in QLD again and wanting to explore more of the booming beer scene!
Cheers and Beers, Matt and Joslyn!

Awesome brewery tour with Hop On.
Absolutely awesome tour with great breweries visited. Our guide Matt was super knowledgeable not only about the brewing process but about all the beers we sampled along the way (and there were a few👌🏽). If you want something different, but still Aussie, this is it!!
We’ll definitely be hopping on another tour. The full day would be well worth it!
Operator response
Thanks for the awesome review and feedback Mal, it is very appreciated! It was a pleasure having you and Todd on board and we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the day out including the beers and the information provided!. Also appreciate you guys getting on so well with and looking after Donna who was one our oldest guests on tour to date. We'd love to welcome you both back should you ever be wanting to explore more of the booming SE QLD beer scene. Cheers and Beers, Matt and Joslyn!

Great guide + great breweries + great beers = day well spent
You would NEVER find these craft breweries on your own. And, after the first one, you will need the driver. You will go home enlightened about beer and brewing, You won't go home thirsty.!
Operator response
Thanks for the great review and feedback David, we really do appreciate it! We're so glad that we were able to accommodate your booking and it was a pleasure having you on board all the way from Texas!
So glad to hear that you enjoyed the breweries, beers and info provided and hope you found a couple along the way that you really liked!
Hope the rest of your stay in Australia is equally as good and that you find some more beer hot spots in your travels.
We'd love to welcome you back should you ever return to QLD and be wanting to explore more of the booming beer scene!
Cheers and Beers, Matt and Joslyn

Do yourself a huge favour !
Joslyn our guide was extremely knowledgeable, but kept the educational side of the brewery tour very light so everyone was kept engaged and the friendly banter continued throughout the extremely enjoyable tour. The beers covered the full spectrum and revealed some gems that we wouldn't ordinarily have thought to try. The vibe was very "Colin from Accounts" (the exceptional Aussie TV comedy based around an independant brewery)...... if you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a huge favour and watch the series and do this excellent brewery tour ...... in either order 😁
Operator response
Thanks for the awesome review, Des! It was such a pleasure hosting you and Peter - and the other 3 lads - during your all-too-short visit to Brisbane.
We appreciate you spending time with us AND being willing to try a few new beer styles outside of your comfort zone (even if they didn't become new favourites).
Loved all the laughs on the day and the enthusiasm amongst the crew, and I have to admit that in the days following the tour I binged season 2 of "Colin from Accounts", so thanks for the reminder :D
Can't wait to welcome you back for your next visit - hopefully it isn't another 12 years.
Go Lions!
Cheers and beers,
Jos and Matt

Great day out to start a Bucks party
I've been on a few brewery tours in the past, but this one was hands down the most informative and relaxed experience I've had. Even though some of the guys were your typical "XXXX-only" drinkers, by the end of the day, they were all sampling different beers and really enjoying the variety. I think we all walked away having learned something new!
Our host, Matt, was fantastic—super knowledgeable not only about beer but also about the local brewing scene. Honestly, he could have easily joined us as one of the crew.
A solid 5 stars from us! We’ll definitely be back—maybe for a winery tour next—and we’ll be recommending it to everyone we know.
Operator response
Thanks so much for the awesome review and feedback, we really appreciate it and it was great to have you and the lads on to celebrate the big day.
We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the day out and it was super impressive that the XXXX boys were still giving the "crafties" a nudge and actually enjoying them.
Hope the rest of the night in Brisbane was equally as good and we'd love to welcome you all back should you ever be wanting to explore more of the booming SE QLD beer and distilling scene!
Cheers and Beers, Matt and Joslyn

Great afternoon and beers
Another great trip, cannot wait to do another one. Had a fun and informative afternoon with lots of excellent beers. Big thanks to the awesome staff at Milton Common.
Operator response
Thanks so much for the awesome review Michael, we really appreciate the positive feedback! It was an absolute pleasure having you and Gerry back on board with us after six years and we're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the day again.
Have to agree with you that the staff at Milton Common are legends and we love showcasing their berrs and venue to our guests!
Hope the takeaways you bought on the day went down a treat and we'd love to welcome you both back in the future to explore more of the booming SE QLD beer scene.
Cheers and Beers, Matt and Joslyn!

The perfect brewery tour.
I can't speak highly enough of the tour - this is the second time I've done it; admittedly with something like a 7 year break. There's no repetition and it's informative, funny and puts you down in front of interesting and surprising brews that definitely satisfied my inner beer nerd while remaining approachable for all.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your excellent review! And what a pleasure it was welcoming you on board again!
So much has changed in the Brisbane beer scene since your last visit, and it was a joy to see you find your new favourite beers - how many were there in the end?? Having the opportunity to chat with some of the people behind the beers is also something we were so happy to share with you.
Look forward to seeing you again - hopefully it's not 7 years between visits again!
Cheers and beers,
Jos and Matt

It was a pleasure having you both on board and hope you found a few Australian beers along the way that you liked.

Great afternoon full of wonderful beer, fantastic food, and awesome company.
Fantastic tour filled with great memories. Matt was awesome as our host. We visited Four breweries, some of which id never heard of, but all were tremendous. Would certainly recommend Hop On to anyone.

It was a pleasure having you both on board and we're so glad to hear that you and Luke enjoyed the day out with us. Was definitely made even better by the fact that you guys and our Gold Coast couple got on so well.
Hope you found a few new beers along the way that you enjoyed and we'd love to welcome you both back again should you ever be wanting to explore more of the booming Brisbane or Gold Coast beer scenes!

Beers and Brisbane
A fun and educational afternoon of Brisbane beers! After late cancellations, Matt tailored the tour to our liking ensuring a great mix of beers, even breaking us out of our comfort zones with some ‘interesting’ stouts and meads. Would thoroughly recommend Hop On Brewery Tours to all beer lovers and even those wishing to learn more about beer making processes - you won’t be disappointed.
Operator response
Thanks so much for the great review and feedback Mark, we really appreciate it and it was a pleasure having both yourself and Jamie back on board with us for your second trip.
So glad to hear that you enjoyed the day out and the beers included (was definitely impressed that you tried and ended up liking some of the stouts).
Hope the rest of the night in Brisbane went well and we'd love to welcome you both back anytime you are wanting to explore more of the booming SE QLD beer scene.
Cheers and Beers, Matt and Joslyn
