Land & Sea Brewery

Land & Sea Brewery occupies a big shed-style venue on Venture Drive in Noosaville's industrial-creative pocket, and it runs two crafts under one roof: beer on the brewery side and gin on the distillery side. Doors open from midday Tuesday to Sunday, running late into the evening, with Monday the one day off. The tasting paddles are the signature move, covering the beer range and the barrel-aged and strawberry gins alongside, and the kitchen holds its own with dishes like the caesar salad that get regular mentions.

Per dog friendly listings including Pupsy and Pawspot, well behaved dogs on leash are welcome in the outdoor and undercover seating areas. The venue sets dogs up properly rather than tolerating them: water bowls, tie up points, and dog menu options, so the dog eats too. The undercover part matters on a Noosa storm afternoon, and the outdoor deck does the rest of the work in fine weather. With the venue advertising the setup and listings backing it, this is about as solid as dog policies get; leashed and settled is still the price of the deck.

Worth knowing

Closed Mondays, and weekends from midday are the busy stretch, so a weekday lunch or early-afternoon session is the easy sit for a dog. Venture Drive parking is generous by Noosa standards, which is one of the quieter advantages of the location. Being a working brewery and distillery, the atmosphere builds through the afternoon and peaks around tasting flights and live weekends; a dog who wants a quiet corner should come early, order the paddle, and claim a spot on the deck before the crowd arrives.

Make a day of it

Noosaville stacks up well around it: Taka Boys covers the other end of the evening if the brewery is packed, Grind Cafe handles the next morning's coffee, and Weyba Creek Park gives the dog a stretch before or after the session. The Noosaville guide and the QLD pub list round out the trip.
