Slipstream Brewing is a brewery, bar and kitchen at 94 Wilkie Street in Yeerongpilly, on Brisbane’s southside. The beers are brewed on site, and you can sit inside with a view of the stainless steel in the brewery.
It is a sit-down venue with a beer garden, a wood-fired pizza and burger menu, kids’ meals and a train station about 200 metres away. Slipstream also runs a second venue, the Social House at Birtinya on the Sunshine Coast, but this guide is about the Yeerongpilly brewery.
Slipstream Brewing opening hours

Food and drink
The kitchen serves a modern Australian menu with burgers, wood-fired pizza, grazing plates, mains and desserts, plus a BBQ share platter that serves two. Dishes are marked gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan or dairy-free. The kitchen also handles nuts, shellfish, gluten and eggs, so it cannot guarantee any dish is free of allergens. All seafood on the menu is imported, which is worth knowing if you are after local catch.
The full menu and the booking form are on the Yeerongpilly Bar and Kitchen page, so you can check dishes and prices before you leave home.
On the drinks side, the core beers are Billy Cart Mid Pale, Laguna Pacific Ale, Regatta Lager, Scooter Red Ale, Sundrift Hazy XPA, Magic Mile XPA and G-Force IPA, with limited releases and a gluten-free ginger beer rotating through. There are also wines, spirits, cider, cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks. Most taps can fill a growler or squealer to take home, but corny kegs are not filled.
