Why it's worth checking out

Future Magic Brewing Co. is a craft brewery and pizza venue in Brisbane, with the supplied venue listing placing it in New Farm. Its own website describes the taproom as being in East Brisbane and gives an East Brisbane address, so it is worth checking the location when planning a visit. The focus is independent craft beer, with a changing range intended for people who enjoy trying distinctive brews as well as those who prefer a familiar style. Beer is available to enjoy at the venue or buy to take home.

Food centres on handmade pizza prepared with dough made by the in-house chef. The menu includes classics such as Margherita and Pepperoni alongside more substantial options including Trentina, with Italian sausage, roasted potato, red onion and rosemary; Funghi, made with a black truffle base and mushrooms; and Spicy King Prawn, topped with marinated prawns, 'nduja, cherry tomatoes and rocket. There are also snacks and sides, including Mushroom Arancini, mixed olives, chips and garlic flat bread, plus a small kids’ menu and Nutella Dough Bites for dessert.

The venue presents itself as a social, family-friendly taproom rather than a place built around screens or loud entertainment. It is TV-free, encouraging conversation and time together, while open-ended play activities are provided for children. That makes it suitable for families, casual catch-ups and groups meeting for a round of beers and food. The site also mentions quick service for people stopping in before a game, although the venue’s suitability for a particular event will depend on the day.

Future Magic’s name comes from a medieval brewing practice involving a wooden “magic stick” used to carry yeast between batches. The brewery connects that tradition with ideas of community, shared knowledge and hospitality. Its website positions the taproom as a welcoming home-away-from-home, with staff, beer and food all contributing to the experience. Visitors can book a table, order pizza for pickup or delivery, and purchase the brewery’s beers to enjoy later. The venue’s Google rating is 4.5 from 213 reviews.
