The Catchment Brewing Co

History and Atmosphere

Housed in a stunningly refurbished art deco building at 150 Boundary Street, The Catchment Brewing Co opened in 2014, founded by two beer-loving families. This West End icon brews fresh beers on-site, blending historic charm with modern craft brewing. The two-level venue features cosy interiors, a beer garden overlooking brewing gear, and inviting laneway areas, creating a relaxed hub amid Brisbane's eclectic community.

Beer Selection

Catchment's core lineup includes Bright Ale with lemon and tropical notes, Pale Select Ale bursting with stone fruit and spice, and hop-forward The 500 IPA. Seasonal releases span Helles lagers, milk stouts with chocolate and vanilla, Citrio pale ale infused with native lemon myrtle, and experimental brews like pineapple gose or triple white IPA. Guest beers, ciders, and a curated wine list of 25 drops complement the taps.[1][2][6]

Food and Drink Menu

The menu draws from seasonal inspirations, offering gastropub favorites: shareable small plates, pizzas, tempura chicken, duck breast, swordfish, and wagyu rump. Cocktails and spirits round out an eclectic selection unified by exceptional beer. Upstairs spaces suit functions, while outdoor spots provide people-watching on bustling Boundary Street.[1][2][3]

In West End's creative enclave, the brewpub thrives on vibrant energy. Boundary Street buzzes with cafes, shops, and arts, making it ideal for day trips or evenings out. The setup encourages lingering, from sunny beer garden afternoons to late-night sessions on weekends.[2][3]
