MitchBastard Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Howdy all. Are you looking for a new brewery to visit? Madocke Beer Brewing opened its doors to the general public this past weekend. We’re located in Ashmore on the Goldy.If you’d like to sample some of Queensland’s finest Belgian beers come see us! Our Tap room is open wed-sun 12pm-7pm. If you come through the week you’ll see me kicking about the brewery floor, and if your in over the weekend I might be pouring some beers. Come say gday. Hope to see you there. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Crabs Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Nice, might have to pop in when I'm back around Christmas. Haven't been Ashmore since I use to work up near Molendinar and go to the "Gashmore" tavern after work as they use to put on some decent after noon entertainment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Great stuff @MitchBastard. Looks like you got your wish to work at a proper brewery. Looks very swish. Congratulations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Awesome stuff, Mitch, good on you. That looks like a really great place & the beers are amazing. I am a mere 2110kms from there so I will have to look at the photos you post. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 To any Gold Coast out of towners with young families, if you're looking for a great beer brewed by our comrade, Mitch, and a great family holiday, a quick Maps search showed me Madocke Beer Brewing Co is staggering distance from Ashmore Palms Holiday Village. I took my family there a couple of times in the early 2000s. It's brilliant and now has a craft brewery at the end of the street. I highly recommend it for families with primary school aged kids. Probably not as great for older kids because it's not on the beach. This is how you plan your next holiday: "Hey honey, a mate of mine told me about this great place on the Goldy. Great for families. Away from the seedy aspect of Surfers and closer to the theme parks." Then after you've booked: "Wow! Will you look at that. There's a craft brewery just up the road. There's something for everyone on the Gold Coast." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being single you probably didn't have to develop your cunning skills too much, Phil, but being married 29 years has shown me you've got to make it look like you're doing the "family thing" to achieve your own selfish goals sometimes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it Phil … married life develops the low, peasant cunning in a fellow… strange that, wonder why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it bothered me for a long time that I had to forgo long sessions at the pub because the missus would say things to me like, "The kids need shoes," or "The kids need asthma medication." If I'd known they were going to need luxuries like that I probably would have used contraception. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was married in 1979 for a short while, I was a travelling salesman & quite honestly it was never going to work, everything you may have heard of about travelling salesman is true. When I was divorced it was the freedom I wanted to continue on my merry way, sure I have had heaps of meaningful one night stands, I mean relationships but I would never want to be tied up again. All due respect to those of you that are content in your various situations. Being single develops other skills, mainly don't get caught up again Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am not here to judge but as we go through life normal things happen & then comes marriage, mortgages, kids, animals, school fees etc .... I can afford myself the luxuries I need like beer, food that I want when I want, did I say beer ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the other day I mentioned to SWMBO that if we saved up the kiddie allowance for a few months I could have a great weekend in ‘Vegas. She hasn’t got back to me with the details yet.
