Hemingway's Brewery is a must-visit for Far North Queensland visitors and locals alike. Not only for the stunning views across the aqua waters of Port Douglas but also for the quality craft brews. Waters from the nearby Mossman Gorge, top-notch hops and locally sourced base malts are combined to create its six-strong flagship line, which ranges from The Prospector, an award-winning bitter pilsner with a strong malt flavour, to the light, bright 7th Heaven, a tropical ale.
The Port Douglas brewpub, which is the smaller of the brand's two locations (the other is in Cairns), is located on a superyacht marina — we suggest nabbing a table on the deck for the best water and mountain views. Pizzas, burgers, share plates and other standard pub grub is on offer and, on weekends, there is live music, too.
