Hudson Brewing

Hudson Brewing is a locally owned, family-operated craft brewery in Wynnum, on Brisbane’s bayside. Founded in 2020 by Wynnum locals Sarah and Richard Hudson, it was created from a long-held ambition to give the suburb its own local brewery and tap room. The brewery is based on Gibbs Street, where beer is made on site and served in a relaxed setting.

The focus is on fresh, straightforward craft beer, with a range of core brews supported by seasonal and small-batch releases that pour for limited periods. The current selection is best checked through Hudson Brewing’s online shop or by visiting the tap room, making it a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in trying beers produced locally rather than a fixed, one-style offering.

Several beers have received recognition at major competitions. Infinity Hazy IPA won gold at the 2024 Australian International Beer Awards, while Out Of Your Mind Sour took gold at both the 2024 Australian International Beer Awards and the Royal Queensland Beer Awards, where it was also named Champion Mixed Culture beer. Other awarded brews include Andromeda Hazy Mid, Dark Obsession, English Brown Ale, Meet Your Maker Stout, Fort Lytton Lager and On Any Sunday Session Ale. These results give returning visitors a useful reason to work through different styles and releases.

The tap room suits local beer drinkers and visitors looking for a relaxed Bayside brewery experience, with table bookings available through the venue’s website. It is a natural option for a casual catch-up or an easy visit centred on locally brewed beer. Hudson Brewing also lists food trucks on its website, although no specific food offering is provided in the available information. The venue’s trading times vary across Thursday to Sunday, and it notes that it may close earlier when quiet, so checking before visiting is sensible.
