“The brewery is on the water, the beer is brewed on site and the afternoon light hits the marina just right. If you’re going to be somewhere in Port Douglas at 5pm, this is the somewhere.”
Hemingways Brewery — Craft Beer and Marina Views at Port Douglas
Hemingways Brewery occupies one of the best positions in Port Douglas — on the waterfront at the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, with views across the boat-filled harbour and a beer garden that catches the afternoon breeze. It’s a craft brewery that takes its beer seriously: the range is brewed on-site and reflects genuine craft ambition, from pale ales and lagers through to seasonal and experimental releases. The food menu leans toward satisfying pub fare well-suited to post-reef recovery or a long lunch before sunset.
The Experience
The beer garden at Hemingways is one of the best outdoor drinking spots in Far North Queensland. The marina backdrop provides constant movement — tour boats returning, superyachts arriving, pelicans working the pontoons — and the setting encourages the kind of slow afternoon that Port Douglas is built around. The brewery tour option is available for those interested in the production side. Groups are well-catered for, and the venue suits everyone from families finishing a reef day to couples marking a special occasion to locals gathering at the end of a working week.
