gold coaSt, aUStralIa

The Gold Coast is a city coming of age. It is a place of opportunity that, over the next decade, will transform into a globally-recognised city while retaining its enviable lifestyle and stunning natural environment.

Strategically located on the edge of the Asia-Pacific rim, with access to two international airports, the Gold Coast is perfectly positioned as a destination for business, investment, study, sport, events, tourism and lifestyle.

The Gold Coast stretches along 57 kilometres of coastline and is home to over half a million people. Beyond the city’s beautiful beaches are vast, sub-tropical rainforests with breathtaking scenery.

The city enjoys a five-year average annual growth rate of 2 per cent and has access to an economic catchment of over 3.6 million people.

Welcoming more than 13 million visitors each year, the Gold Coast is Australia’s premier tourist destination, offering a vibrant mix of shopping, accommodation, theme parks, restaurants, entertainment and an abundance of natural attractions.

With a robust economy valued at more than $25 billion, and an ambitious strategy that encourages innovation and sustainable growth, the Gold Coast’s future is full of promise.

Ours is an economy of opportunity that has grown from its basis in tourism and construction to a diverse, knowledge-based economic environment.

Food industry The Gold Coast’s thriving food and restaurant scene is a key part of the region’s appeal to residents and visitors.

This culinary scene is set apart by internationally acclaimed chefs and, equally important, local food and beverage producers that deliver fresh, high-quality ingredients.

Australia and Queensland leads the world in high quality produce and processes that are clean, green, reliable and secure. Our food and beverage manufacturing industry

continues to grow steadily with increases in employment and value of the industry to our local economy.

An area of specialisation is functional foods for sport, health and wellness, with companies such as Morlife and Our Organics building a local presence. This is consistent with our city’s positive attitude towards health and wellbeing and strong demand for such products.

We also have strong beer manufacturing capabilities with the Carlton United Brewery located to the north of the Gold Coast and craft breweries, Burleigh Brewing Co., Black Hops and Balter breweries located towards the south.

As our reputation grows as a quality food and beverage producer, our manufacturers are exporting internationally and have positioned themselves to manage future demand from key markets – including Asia.

Balter Brewing Company

Balter Brewing Company thinks good beer shares a lot of qualities with a good host - they are both approachable, thoughtful, and value character over currency. Above all, both help bring a wide range of people together to get them smiling.

Balter Brewing Companies approach to making beer is built on this notion. They want everybody to experience the delight of bonding over a tasty brew, whether that’s hop driven wonders or malt-driven deliciousness. This means using the best ingredients they can get our hands on, taking advantage of the best technology they can afford, and using techniques that are geared towards taste rather than brewing speed. It also means creating a vast of range flavours that can reach a broad set of palates.

Since starting in March 2016, their beer has won a bunch of awards. Most notably they took out Best International Pale Ale at the AIBA Awards in 2017, Champion Medium Size Brewery and Best Newcomer (rookie of the year).

While it feels nice to be winning the approval of beer judges, they value the word of mouth from one friend to another more than anything else. Balter Brewing believe if somebody loves what they do so much they feel it’s important enough to share with their mates, well, that’s the greatest accolade they could achieve.
