Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
FNQ Homebrew is a specialist shopping destination for people who make their own beer, cider, spirits, wine or mead. Its range covers brewing ingredients and equipment, with supplies for beer making, cider making, spirit making and wine and mead making. The shop also lists kegs and parts, sanitising and cleaning products, hardware, CO2 refills and undercover kegerators, along with a small clothing range and Colony West products.
The business was established by Colin Roberts in December 2018 and has grown its product range to supply home brewers across Australia. Alongside its online store, FNQ Homebrew offers mail orders and welcomes visitors to meet the friendly team in person. The website also provides recipes and ingredient options intended to help home brewers adjust alcohol content, aromas and flavour characteristics to suit their preferences.
This is a practical stop for experienced brewers looking for equipment or ingredients, as well as anyone exploring home production and wanting guidance on recipes and brewing methods. The website lists the shop in Cairns and gives a Smithfield address, while this directory lists the venue in Yorkeys Knob, so it is sensible to confirm the current location before visiting. Online ordering is available for customers elsewhere in Australia.
