Hop On Brewery Tours BeeR VR Zero Latency Birthday Party Brisbane Brewery Tour

Our full day Reality Brews Gold Coast brewery and VR tour is anything but virtual


This reality doesn’t bite, because that would be a different tour. On our Reality Brews Gold Coast brewery tour, guests start their day with a completely unique, out-of-this-world virtual reality gaming session at Zero Latency.

After getting the blood pumping and working up a sweat, it’s time to cool down with some boutique beers at some of the Gold Coast’s best breweries. The reality may be virtual, but the beers are definitely real.

Must book 8 guests for a private gaming experience and to select your preferred game option.

The earlier our guests book, the higher likelihood of getting their preferred start time and game.

Our Reality Brews tour starts at Zero Latency then visits three Gold Coast venues.
 Lunch is generally served at the first brewery we visit.

Zero Latency
We start the day at Zero Latency with a 30-minute virtual reality gaming experience. This is not your old-skool VR, this is as high tech as it gets.

Put on the VR headset, strap into the backpack and pick up the controller. You are about to be transported into the virtual world. Once in, you’re free to move and explore as you please – comfortably and naturally, just like you do in the real world. You’re completely untethered. There aren’t any wires or walls to get in the way of your virtual reality adventures.

Please visit Zero Latency’s FAQ page for full player requirements and restrictions.

After an unforgettable experience that you’ll be talking about for days, it’s time to hit the cold beers.

Gold Coast Breweries
We have so many incredible breweries to choose from in and around the Glitter Strip that we share the love as best we can. The venues we visit will change based on drop off locations for guests, events, festivals, new releases we think are delicious, or somewhere we haven’t been in a while. If you have a place you really want to visit (or don’t), please let us know in the Special Requirements section of your booking.
Pick Up & Drop Off Details

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 Ups:

  • 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.
  • Sandbar (52 Esplanade, Surfers Paradise) overlooks the lapping waves of Surfers Paradise. Start your day here with a delicious breakfast and coffee. The beer options aren’t great (they used to be!). Sandbar is one block north of Cavill Mall.
  • Loose Moose (Oasis Centre, 75 Surf Parade, Broadbeach) is on the ground floor of the Oasis Centre in the heart of Broadbeach. Easy to reach by G:Link, the Loose Moose is near the main entrance to the centre.

Drop Offs:

We are flexible with our drop-off locations within the city based on guests’ needs and requests.

What’s Included

Included in the price: 30-minutes of zombie-killing action at Zero Latency, transportation in our private, air-conditioned van, guided brewery tour with explanation of the brewing process, all beer samples at the breweries we visit, lunch, beer education and history, snacks, and witty commentary (well, we think it is).

Please note that you are required to wear closed-toe shoes for the virtual reality part of this tour, but it’s also recommended when we visit breweries 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 brewers 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 beers are always epic.

If there is a brewery you’re keen to check out, please include the request in the “Special Requirements” section when making your booking and we will try our best to make it happen.
