Have you ever wondered why gin tastes the way it does? Think all vodkas, gins and whiskeys are created equal? Then you will love this mind-opening tour of the Gold Coast’s first nano-distillery. At Granddad Jack’s, owners Luke and Dave will share the story of their family history, the making of their tipples, and break any misconceptions you’ve held about distilling. Sample three of their gins, all made on premise, and become part of the family.

Bear in mind that their motto is “Too busy for bullshit; too tipsy to care!” – so no bullshitters allowed!

Where a location is indicated, we will pick up you outside the venue so please keep an eye out for our van – you can’t miss it!

Pick Up:

• Helensvale Station is a central stop for anyone on the train coming from either direction. We’ll be waiting on the heavy rail side at the Kiss’n’Ride – keep an eye out for the branded van.
• Loose Moose is located on the ground floor of the Oasis Centre in Broadbeach, just near the roundabout. We’ll pick you up outside, so make sure you keep an eye out for the van.

Drop Offs:

• Helensvale Station so guests can easily get back to the southern end of the Gold Coast or back up to Brisbane.
• Loose Moose so you can kick on with a few more drinks or easily grab a taxi to get where you need to be.

We are flexible with our drop-off locations, but please speak to us at the time of booking.

Included in the price: transportation in our private, air-conditioned van, guided brewery and distillery tour with explanation of the brewing/distilling process, all beer/gin/rum/whisky samples at the breweries and distilleries we visit, lunch, beer education and history, snacks, and witty commentary (well, we think it is).

Please note that we are visiting working distilleries and it’s suggested you wear closed-toe shoes so you don’t miss out on any of the fun. Also, since they don’t always run on a set schedule, we will try and catch the distillers in action but that can’t always be guaranteed; keep an open mind on the day because no matter what or who we see, the samples are always epic. Sometimes the itineraries will change at a whim; this may be because of traffic, a last-minute decision from the distillery or any number of things, so we ask for your patience and flexibility.
