Green Beacon, a Brisbane craft beer brewpub located in Teneriffe, will close its doors at the end of October. The final day for customers to visit is set for October 30. While neither Green Beacon nor Asahi Beverages responded to requests for comment, staff confirmed the closure. A development application has been submitted by Frank Developments to build a residential project on the site where Green Beacon currently operates. Founded in January 2013, Green Beacon was known as a pioneer of Brisbane's craft beer scene and had won multiple awards before being acquired by Asahi Beverages in 2019 and subsequently closing its production brewery earlier this year.

Story summary
Iconic Brisbane brewpub Green Beacon will close its doors in Teneriffe at the end of October, specifically on October 30, after nearly a decade in business. The future of the Green Beacon brand remains uncertain as a development application was lodged by Frank Developments on September 1 for an eight-storey residential project called Elena that will occupy the brewpub’s address at 26 Helen Street. Green Beacon, founded in January 2013, was instrumental in establishing Teneriffe and Newstead as craft beer hubs alongside other notable venues like Tippler’s Tap and Newstead Brewing Co. Despite its success, which included numerous awards, the company was acquired by global beverage giant Asahi Beverages in 2019, and more recently, Asahi closed Green Beacon’s production brewery in Geebung last year.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
