Brewed down under, loved all over.

Who we are

We’re travellers at heart, always chasing good food, good drinks, and the kind of places where memories are made.
One of our favourite chapters in that journey was a past life in Budapest, where we fell head over heels for their iconic cherry beer.

It wasn’t like the Belgian krieks, not quite like the French ones either - kinda similar, but still so different. Crisp, fruity, refreshing, with that ruby-red glow. We’d sip it by the Danube on sunny afternoons, and it was the taste of pure joy.

Coming back to Australia, we searched high and low, but nothing came close. We tried every cherry beer we could find (seriously, all of them 😅), and none even scratched the surface. I was never satisfied, I really missed those fruity, fresh sips in the sun. I couldn’t stop thinking about how amazing it would be to have that same feeling here.

I’m so convinced people in Australia would love it too, so… we decided to brew it ourselves and share the love!

Being a total beach lover (and beach club lover too, let’s be honest 😎), I wanted to bring more than just a beer, I wanted to bring a vibe. That’s why you’ll spot our red striped umbrellas on the sand or terraces: we’re as much about the atmosphere as we are about the beer.

Today, people order a Gold Coast Cherry like they’d order a XXXX or a Great Northern, but what they’re really getting is something special: the real Cherry Beer, Brewed Down Under, Loved All Over.

FAQs

  • Gold Coast Cherry is a fruity, sweet, and refreshing cherry beer with a beautiful dark red hue.
    It tastes just like a crisp, real beer kissed with juicy, real cherries. No artificial syrup, just the perfect balance of lager and cherry brightness. Born on the sunny Gold Coast but inspired by the famous cherry beers of Budapest, it’s crafted for easy-drinking good times.

  • It’s lightly sweet but never heavy — more tart-juicy than sugary-sweet. Think of a refreshing summer lager with a cherry twist that keeps you coming back for another sip.

  • Our Cherry Beer is not gluten-free (it’s brewed with barley malt), but it is vegan-friendly, no animal products or finings are used.

  • We’re pouring in select Gold Coast bars, venues, and events/festivals.

  • Honestly, Gold Coast Cherry exists because we couldn’t find anything like it in Australia. We tried them all, trust us, we did the research 🍻 but nothing came close to the cherry beers we fell head-over-heels for while living in Budapest.

    After a year of sipping those ruby-red beauties by the Danube, coming back to Australia felt… well, a little cherry-less. 2 years later we finally said, “Enough! If we can’t drink it here, we’ll brew it ourselves!”

    So we rolled up our sleeves and created a beer that’s crisp, bright, and bursting with real cherries, as close as you can get to that Budapest vibe, minus the long flight.
