Slipstream Brewing Co. in Yeerongpilly has been voted the best pub in Queensland, beating out competition from across the state and kicking off celebrations by hosting this year’s official Queensland Day awards event at its bustling Brisbane venue.
Early Recognition And A Double Celebration
The announcement came on Friday, 6 June 2025, during Queensland Day’s “All the Best” campaign, which drew over 61,000 public votes across 15 categories. Slipstream Brewing Co. was named the state’s best pub and hosted the official awards event at its Yeerongpilly venue.
Media crews, fellow winners, and Premier David Crisafulli gathered for the celebration. The timing also marked Slipstream’s eighth anniversary, adding to the sense of occasion. The recognition highlighted the venue’s strong local following and growing reputation in Brisbane’s craft beer scene.
Community Support Behind The Win
Slipstream Brewing Co. credited its Queensland Day win to strong community support and public votes. The team expressed gratitude online, noting the recognition reflects years of hard work. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, good food, and on-site brewed craft beer, the Yeerongpilly venue has built a loyal local following.
Just weeks earlier, it was named Champion Small Australian Brewery at the Australian International Beer Awards. That national honour further boosted its reputation among beer lovers across the country.
A Proud Moment For Brisbane’s Craft Scene
While many might have expected a more traditional or well-known venue to take the top pub title, Slipstream’s win shows the impact of local engagement and quality experiences. Their Queensland Pale Ale, the Billy Cart Pale Ale, was also named a finalist in the state’s top beer category. Though it didn’t win that title, the brewery’s growing presence in multiple award categories reflects its standing within Queensland’s food and beverage community.
For the Yeerongpilly neighbourhood, the recognition brought positive attention and a chance to show off what the area has to offer. The brewery has become a local meeting place and is increasingly seen as a drawcard for visitors exploring Brisbane’s inner south.
Queensland Day And Its Wider Meaning
Queensland Day celebrates the state’s separation from New South Wales in 1859 and highlights local pride. This year’s “All the Best” campaign showcased favourite spots to eat, drink and visit across the state.
Slipstream Brewing Co.’s win as best pub was one of the most talked-about moments online. While the idea of making the day a public holiday was raised, no clear answer was given. For Slipstream and its supporters, the focus stayed on celebrating the award, their anniversary, and the strong community behind them.
