Relaxed atmosphere, great beers!
Family
Such a family friendly place to stop for a beer. Outdoor and indoor seating, live music, different food trucks, pinball machines and you can see the brewery at the back. Great beers and cider and you can fill up flagons or buy cans to takeaway. It is in an old ammunition factory so it has a bit of history as well.

Great place for a drink with friends
Friends
We heard good things about this boutique brewery at Salisbury, about 4 kilometres from where we live so finally popped in last Friday evening with a few friends. What a cool little place with good beer, great staff, a fab little duo providing music, and a "food truck" (that changes regularly so I hear) for those who wanted a quick and easy light meal.

There were lots of people, many of whom looked like they were regulars having a great time. the crowd covered a wide range of age groups. Best of all some even even brought their dogs - all of them well behaved and friendly there when we went...how civilised is that!

There was plenty of off street parking - it is in a small light industrial estate on the outskirts of the suburb so on street parking is available as well.

For anyone in the surrounding suburbs it is a really great place to go. Try it, I am sure you'll like it. And for those who don't drink beer, wines are available.

Great beer but only OK food
Friends
Firstly the beers here are a clear five out of five! Tried three or four and they were all great. Unfortunately the food is not so great. Had a green papaya salad where the papaya had been substituted by cabbage. I think they thought no one would notice? The salad was tasteless on top of that and definitely not like the original Thai version.

Nice place, not cheap
Family
A micro brewery in an industrial part of town, tucked away off the street. Just a huge shed with the brewery in the corner. Beer and cider were great, soft drinks were very expensive!
There was a food truck there- The Roaming Pig...pulled pork/ beef burgers... they did have kids meals (nuggets and chips for $10) but nothing to cater for vegetarians. Burgers were $14.
Family friendly and the night we went there was love music until the NRL final began. It's not a cheap outing- $3.50 for a packet of crisps, $5 for a tiny packet of nuts.
Ambiance was good but be prepared to spend lots of money.

We love our local brewery and enjoy walking down with the kids and our neighbours for a casual afternoon drink and snacks while the kids play in the open spaces. Usually we stay for the food truck and dinner is sorted. So lucky!

Great Sunday Afternoon Atmosphere, Great Beer and Music.
Located in an unsuspecting region of Brisbane and a little out of the way Ballistic Brewing Co is well worth the outing. I rocked up on a Sunday afternoon and the place was a hive of activity. Firstly the beer ranging from pale ales to stouts all extremely tasty making it hard to decided if you should get the same one again or try a different one knowing well it will be just as good. The guys were very friendly and helped us out with any questions we had.

The music started playing in the afternoon which was a great touch to relax and those who were hungry had a food van parked to the front. A great atmosphere with mums, dads, sons, daughters and the family pet (outside) were all in attendance with plenty of room outside to play on.

I will be back and I recommend you sitting down for a cold beer here, when you have the chance.

Came here for lunch, some in the group liked their meals, others not so much. Probably a better spot for a good drinking session more than a meal out.

Function Review
Family
Booked an area for a function, they set up an outside area for us which was good. Platters were a bit pricey for what we received but were well presented. They did however not have any cheese knives for the cheese platters which was a bit embarrassing. Their sausage roll platters are also served cold which would have been good to know. The drinks and atmosphere are great if you are looking for something really casual and not wanting to travel into the city.
