Coming Soon: Landers Pocket Is the New Brisbane Airport Precinct with a Brewery, Distillery and Beer Garden
Green Beacon will oversee the booze side of things — and there'll also be an amphitheatre, second mini-golf course and padel tennis courts.
Thanks to the putt-putt course and driving greens at Golf Central, plus the DFO shopping centre at Skygate, going to Brisbane Airport isn't just for people with their suitcases packed. Come early 2025, Brisbanites sticking around town will have even more reasons to head by. Fancy a beer at an onsite brewery? A sip of spirits at a distillery? Catching live entertainment at an outdoor amphitheatre? Having a hit around a second mini-golf course, or trying your luck at padel? They'll all be on offer at Landers Pocket.
Brisbane Airport is teaming up with Green Beacon Brewing Co and Golf Central on the new addition, which has been badged a "multi-faceted sports and entertainment precinct", and will cater to River City locals and travellers alike. And it'll be big. The Golf Central component alone, which will have a hospitality element, will cater to 800 patrons — and then there's the brewery and distillery, each of which Green Beacon will be running.
"This announcement is unbelievably exciting for Green Beacon. The new brewery and hospitality venue will ensure we get our award-winning beers into the hands of more beer lovers than ever before," said Green Beacon General Manager Richard Shrosbery.
"Green Beacon has been a part of the Brisbane community at Teneriffe for over a decade, and this expansion will be a huge springboard for our brand. We want to bring people together to connect, talk, laugh and have fun — and we believe this new precinct will enable that."
The brewery first began in 2013 as an idea between a couple of mates, and has cemented itself as a Brissie favourite ever since. And yes, there'll be a beer garden at Landers Pocket, so you'll have somewhere to knock back drinks.

Golf Central is clearly increasing in size as part of the new precinct, including by doubling its existing driving range. The second course to tap, tap, tap around will join the new padel tennis courts — and there'll be spaces for parties and other functions, too.
"Landers Pocket will deliver a reimagined golf and entertainment experience to our local, interstate and international golfers. There will be something for everyone and we can't wait for this next stage of our evolution to open in early 2025." added Golf Central Managing Director James Cooper.
An exact launch date for the new hangout in Brisbane's north hasn't yet been revealed, but fingers crossed that you'll be adding a visit to your summer plans.
