• Brewery • Buderim

Booked 3 times today

We could only stay in our original digs for so long. To keep pace with the ever-growing demand for the freshest beer possible, brewed on-site, we've taken the leap once more with our new venue in Buderim. This is now our home for all beer and beers-ness, and we couldn't be prouder of the space we've created. It's a place that falls somewhere between a brewpub, a production brewery, an American BBQ restaurant, a function venue, and a local's hangout. Open to the public from Wednesday through Sunday, beer is brewed on-site every day. We'd love to have you come and experience the good vibe beer tribe, whether it's for a work lunch between meetings, an end-of-day knockoff, catching up with friends, celebrating an occasion, or trying the latest new beer release. 10 Toes Buderim is a space for everyone to enjoy with gusto.

We had a delicious lunch here today. Meals were lovely and very substantial. Variety was great. Service was exemplary. The girls looked after we old ducks beautifully and nothing was too much trouble. Only small whinge was that it was extremely hot. We will be back when it cools down! 😅😋😋

Food, wine and service was amazing. We sat outside, the only downside was the rubbish bins only metres away from us. They could've been placed out there after service as the smell emanating from them took away from a great food and service experience.
