Story summary

Iconic Brisbane brewpub Green Beacon will close its doors in Teneriffe at the end of October, specifically on October 30, after nearly a decade in business. The future of the Green Beacon brand remains uncertain as a development application was lodged by Frank Developments on September 1 for an eight-storey residential project called Elena that will occupy the brewpub’s address at 26 Helen Street. Green Beacon, founded in January 2013, was instrumental in establishing Teneriffe and Newstead as craft beer hubs alongside other notable venues like Tippler’s Tap and Newstead Brewing Co. Despite its success, which included numerous awards, the company was acquired by global beverage giant Asahi Beverages in 2019, and more recently, Asahi closed Green Beacon’s production brewery in Geebung last year.
