Smart summary
Local brewery marks two decades of growth while continuing to support Gold Coast community and businesses.
A well-known Gold Coast independent brewery is celebrating a major milestone after reaching 20 years of operation, highlighting the growth of the city’s local food and beverage industry. Burleigh Brewing, based in Burleigh Heads, has marked two decades of producing craft beer while building strong connections with local customers, venues and community organisations.
The brewery was founded by Peta and Brennan Fielding at a time when independent craft brewing was still developing in Australia. Over the years, the business has expanded from a small local operation into a recognised Queensland brewery, supplying venues and customers across the region and beyond.
The anniversary highlights the important role small and independent businesses play in the Gold Coast economy. Local breweries, restaurants and hospitality venues contribute to tourism, create employment opportunities and provide unique experiences for residents and visitors.

The company has also gained recognition for several of its products in international competitions, helping increase awareness of Queensland’s craft beverage industry.
The milestone comes as the Gold Coast continues to experience strong population growth and increased visitor numbers. The city’s hospitality sector remains an important part of the local economy, with tourists attracted to the region’s beaches, entertainment areas and lifestyle experiences.
Industry representatives say businesses like independent breweries contribute to the city’s identity by offering locally made products and creating destinations for both locals and visitors. Many hospitality operators are adapting to changing customer preferences by focusing on local production, sustainability and community involvement.
The Gold Coast has seen significant growth in small business activity over recent years, supported by tourism, events and infrastructure investment. Local business success stories are viewed as an important part of the region’s economic development.
As Burleigh Brewing celebrates its 20-year milestone, the company continues planning future growth while maintaining its focus on local production and community engagement.
