5 Reasons To Visit a Micro Brewery in Noosa

Breweries and micro breweries have gained much popularity in the last decade, with this trend now hitting Noosa.

It can be hard to know where to find the best micro brewery in Noosa – especially if you have very specific tastes. Thankfully, we do take brewing beer pretty seriously, and there are a few reasons why ours is worth trying.

It is what goes in that counts
Our craft beer is an absolute one of a kind brew. The water that goes into making the beer is sourced from the Artesian Basin. This creates a completely unique flavour. The water from the Artesian Basin has been filtered through sand for 75 years – until it reaches our micro brewery in the Noosa region.

We brew natural beer only – the guilt free drink
You may be happy to know that the water we source is blended with the finest high quality wort, the best yeast and hops from around the world to create a 100% natural beer. Our speciality is being able to create a unique flavour without any additives, flavours or preservatives. So of course, you can actually feel good about drinking our beer, no guilt what-so-ever!! We offer up to 8 different flavours – sure to cater to all preferences.

There is an on-site gelato bar and bistro
Along with sampling the best that our Noosa micro brewery has to offer, you can also sample our gelato! Cleanse your pallet with fresh gelato, supplied locally by Amo Gelato Noosa. You may even want to try all the flavours if you are up for it – a complete tasting experience! We have a minimum of 8 flavours available.

The Eco Brewing Co offer gift vouchers, enabling you to share the experience with your loved ones
If you would like to share your Noosa micro brewery, bistro and gelato bar experience with your friends and family, you have the ability to do so. They do say – sharing is caring! Why not treat your loved ones to the same experience?

Our micro brewery formulations are not just another “craft beer”
We put heart and soul into every single batch of beer brewed on site. Along with the unique ingredients we have sourced, the location too does play a role in how each brew turns out. Located on a 65 acre site, in the Noosa National park, we are very lucky to work here. The land and climate is quite unique and special – creating the perfect location for us to produce beer.

Meet The Chef

Introducing CootharaBAR & Bistro Noosa Head Chef – Jason Larsen.

Chef Larsen’s humble journey began with food in 1988, where he went on to become an Executive Chef at the prestigious Leeuwin Estate for over 10 years. He transitioned to running his own restaurant in the Hunter Valley for 4 years, before catering numerous events/festivals with his famous “Empanadas” a popular South American street food. Chef’s journey eventually brought him to Noosa – where he spent a number of years at Australia’s most prestigious fine dining restaurants including the iconic ‘Berardos’. We are very privileged to have Chef Larson on board, creating amazing dishes at CootharaBAR & Bistro for visitors and guests of Habitat Noosa alike.

Chef Larsen has worked tirelessly to create our new Noosa bistro menu – which will cater to all tastes and dietary requirements. This menu is a must try, and is sure to impress even the fussiest of eaters! All produce has been sourced locally where possible – to create the ultimate local dining experience.
