Bearded Dragon's Own Beers
Local Beers with Big Personality
At Bearded Dragon Hotel Tamborine, we don’t just pour beer — we pour stories, character, and cheeky charm, brewed right here on site. Whether you’re a local knocking off work, a traveller chasing that true blue Tamborine experience, or a function guest ready to raise a glass, our beers are brewed for legends like you.
Every beer on tap is 100% Bearded Dragon and proudly exclusive, born and brewed right here in Tamborine. We’ve given each brew a bit of attitude, some familiar Aussie flavour, and a vibe that matches the energy of our pub, our people, and our paddock.
Scroll down, crack open a virtual cold one, and find the brew that speaks your language. These tasting notes don’t just describe our beers — they bring ’em to life.
Full Strength Lager
FULLY CHOPPED LAGER – 4.2%
Crisp. Clean. Low Carb. Full Send.
Like a lazy arvo on the tinny with just enough breeze and not too many questions—except maybe how big that black fish really was. No need to exaggerate here, mate. Fully Chopped delivers a super original, no-nonsense taste that’s all about clean refreshment. It’s the cold gold built for legends who go hard, clock off proud, and still want to remember how they got home.
Mid Strength Lager
HALF CHOPPED LAGER – 3.5%
Balanced. Breezy. Bit of a lightweight? Nah, just responsible.
Half Chopped is for the legends who want the crisp vibes without the full wobble. It’s like doing a burnout in third gear—still smooth, still fun, just not as many regrets. Refreshing and balanced, it’s the perfect beer for the bloke (or sheila) who’s gotta drive the Hilux home.
Draught
DRAGON’S DRAUGHT – 4.6%
Full-bodied. No fuss. Pure Pub Power.
Malty up front, clean out the back, and smoother than your uncle’s lawn bowls technique after four pints. Brewed for long days, short breaks, and loud laughs. It’s the draught you deserve when your boots hit the bar mat.
Brown Ale
CARNABY JONES BROWN ALE – 5%
For the dark horse in every paddock.
Rich chocolate and roasted coffee notes, English malt smoothness, and a full-bodied finish that speaks in pub stories and side-eyes. Carnaby Jones is the dark horse of the paddock—donkey by day, ale legend by night.
XPA
DRAGON KING XPA – 4.6%
Zesty Hops. Citrus Lift. All Hail the King.
This XPA is your weekend anthem—fruity, zippy, and packing just enough punch to feel fancy without turning feral. Think sun-soaked arvos and good company. Familiar hop notes meet royal Tamborine swagger.
Pale Ale
TOADMAN PALE ALE – 4.7%
World-Famous. Toad-Raced. Pub-Crowned.
Light golden with bold citrus flavour and tropical passionfruit aroma. Crisp and refreshing with just enough bitterness to make it sing. A hometown hero with a global fanbase.
Pale Ale
SNITCHES REFRESHING ALE – 4.2%
Crisp Pale Ale. Passionfruit Pop. Biscuit Backbone.
Meet the ale that’s never in a rush—but always on point. Snitch’s Refresh is for those who cruise through life one sip at a time, with enough passionfruit zing to keep you honest and a biscuit-malt finish smoother than a sloth’s dance move.
Bearded Dragon's Own Wines
Sure, we’re known for our beers — but don’t go thinking that’s all we pour with pride. At the Bearded Dragon, we reckon wine should be as down-to-earth and lively as the crowd drinking it.
Our hand-picked by-the-glass wine list features Aussie-made favourites and easy-sipping drops perfect for kicking back under a gum tree, pairing with a big pub feed, or toasting that “we finally made it” moment on a wedding weekend. Red, white, bubbly, or just “whatever’s cold” — we’ve got a glass for that.
And what pairs better with a cheeky red or chilled rosé than a sunset and some live music?
Welcome to our Paddock Sessions — lazy arvos turned legendary evenings with local musos, lawn games, and a view worth raising a glass to. Whether you’re dancing in the grass, clinking glasses at a long table lunch, or just taking it all in from a picnic rug, this is where the wine flows and the weekend kicks into gear.
So go on — wine down, tune in, and find your perfect sip below.
Sauvignon Blanc
Paddock Sessions Sauvignon Blanc (Vegan)
Tropical. Zesty. Herbaceous.
This vegan-friendly white bursts with flavours of white peach, grapefruit, and lime, finished with a subtle twist of lemongrass. It’s fresh, vibrant, and perfect for warm days or cool nights on the mountain.
Perfect For: Cheese boards, acoustic sets, and clinking glasses as the sun dips. Lively and light with just the right bite.
Pinot Gris
Paddock Sessions Pinot Gris (Vegan)
Bright. Rounded. Fruit-Driven.
Pale straw yellow with a zing of lemon sorbet and stone fruit. Expect hints of pear and peach on the nose, followed by a smooth, rounded texture that finishes long with crisp acidity.
Perfect For: Easy sipping in the sun, paired with a light lunch or a lazy lawn chair moment. Elegant but laid-back — just like our view.
Rosé
Paddock Sessions Rosé (Vegan – Grenache & Mataro)
Dry. Floral. Wildly Refreshing.
This isn’t your average pink drink. Think watermelon juice, blood orange zest, and fresh summer florals, all wrapped in a dry, crisp finish.
Perfect For: Garden parties, long lunches, and sunset selfies. Pretty in pink — but this one’s got backbone.
Chilled Red
Paddock Sessions Chilled Light Red (Vegan – Shiraz, Grenache, Fiano, Tempranillo)
Juicy. Tangy. Chillable Rebel.
Fun and fruity with raspberry, cranberry, and a playful tang. This light red is dangerously easy to drink — served slightly chilled, it’s your warm-weather red with cool-kid energy.
Perfect For: BBQs, lawn lounging, and “just one more” kinda afternoons. The crowd favourite you didn’t know you needed.
