Balter Brewing Company

Founded by a group of close friends including Australian surfing icons Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson, Balter Brewing Company is built on the philosophy that beer should be more than a beverage—it should be a catalyst for community and enjoyment. Located in an industrial-chic space in Currumbin Waters, the brewery has quickly ascended to the top of the Australian craft beer scene, winning numerous awards for its clean, approachable, and technically proficient brews. The taproom offers a vibrant atmosphere where locals and tourists alike can enjoy fresh pints straight from the source while watching the brewing process. With an emphasis on quality and hospitality, Balter focuses on premium ingredients and innovative techniques without the pretension. Their spacious venue often features food trucks and live music, creating a relaxed environment that perfectly mirrors the Gold Coast’s coastal lifestyle and the founders’ own laid-back yet high-performance ethos.
