Burleigh Brew Shop (Homebrew)

Burleigh Brew Shop is a specialist home-brewing supplier at 63 West Burleigh Road in Burleigh Heads, supporting everyone from first-time brewers to experienced makers refining their process. The shop stocks a broad range of equipment and ingredients for beer, spirits, cider, mead, wine and ginger beer, along with dispensing gear for serving what you make at home.

Its selection includes canned beer extract kits, fresh wort kits, malts, yeasts and fresh hops sourced from around the world. There are also distilling setups, spirit essences, starter beer tap and keg systems, and complete Kegerator kits. The range includes products from brands such as Coopers, Morgans, All In Brewery, Still Spirits and Mangrove Jack’s, as well as gluten-free beer recipes and Kombucha kits. The website also highlights frequently restocked perishable goods, with an emphasis on freshness.

The business has been part of the local Burleigh brewing community for more than 30 years. Michael Jesson has more than three decades of brewing experience and runs the family business with his son Todd, who oversees marketing. Their approach is centred on practical, personalised help rather than simply selling supplies, with advice available for customers working out which products or equipment suit their level and plans.

For those wanting to learn more, Burleigh Brew Shop runs homebrewing workshops and tutorials led by Michael Jesson. The shop also promotes a Brew Club and a broader community where customers can share recipes, ideas and brewing experiences. That makes it a useful stop for solo hobbyists as well as people looking to connect with other homebrewers. Beginners can ask for help getting started, while more experienced brewers can explore equipment and ingredients for taking their projects further.
