Next month, Fortitude Valley revellers will have a new rooftop beer garden to frequent in the form of The Beaumont Beer Garden. Nestled on the party precinct’s fringe, The Beaumont will be tapping into Australia’s rugged natural beauty to deliver an offering inspired by the splendour and abundance of The Great Dividing Range. Expect elevated pub fare like slow-cooked eucalyptus lamb, grilled barramundi with finger lime and macadamia crumble and wattleseed pavlova, as well as plenty of local beers, wines and signature cocktails.
When it comes to Australia’s most iconic natural landmarks, few are as impressive as The Great Dividing Range. Stretching 3500 km from the tip of Cape York Peninsula all the way down the coastline to western Victoria, the range is home to thriving agricultural regions and rugged highlands. It’s the sheer diversity of The Great Dividing Range’s landscape, myriad of fauna and flora, and rich history that forms the inspirational core of The Beaumont – a soon-to-open beer garden taking shape in Fortitude Valley.
Set to open to the public on Monday April 7, The Beaumont Beer Garden will look to pay tribute to the region’s splendour by showcasing a broad array of Australian flavours across its food and drink offering, while also filtering the colours of the area’s landscape and sunsets into the venue’s design.
The beer garden’s menu will showcase high-quality, locally sourced ingredients alongside unique native produce, with dishes like grilled barramundi with finger lime and macadamia crumble, slow-cooked eucalyptus lamb, Carrara Wagyu with Granite Belt red wine jus, kangaroo sausages, wattleseed pavlova and dark chocolate tarts with leatherwood honey expected to feature. The Beaumont Beer Garden’s drinks program will feature local beers, wines and signature cocktails – including the interest-piquing Outback Blaze Margarita.
“The Beaumont Beer Garden pays homage to these ‘Beautiful Mountains’, through our menu and cocktail list, and our design aesthetic and colourings,” says group general manager Danny Webster-Clamp. “We borrowed earthy tones like burnt orange, eucalyptus green and navy – with playful pastel accents of Australian flora – from these ancient mountains.”
Located at 21 Gipps Street, Fortitude Valley, The Beaumont’s outdoor rooftop beer garden will boast plenty of timber with iron accents, as well as vintage pub signage to help give it a classic feel. The material palette will be softened by eucalyptus plants and warm festoon lighting, with a touch of nostalgia-inducing Australiana lending the venue a laid-back and approachable atmosphere.
We’ll be taking an up-close look at The Beaumont Beer Garden when it opens in April. Stay tuned!
