Why it's worth checking out
‘The Kennel’ is Boxer Brewing Co.’s tap room and sports bar in Hope Island, offering a place to enjoy the brewery’s own beers in a relaxed, sports-focused setting on the Gold Coast. The venue is linked directly from Boxer’s website as the place to visit, while the brewery’s broader approach centres on making flavourful, highly drinkable beer.
The current beer range includes Lazy Ale, an easy-going Australian ale with malt character and hop aroma; Cerveza, a crisp and light Mexican-style lager; IPA, a pale, hop-forward beer with aromatic flavour and mild bitterness; and Pale Ale, described as smooth and citrusy with a light malt base. These are also available as four-packs through the brewery’s online shop, giving visitors a clear snapshot of the beers Boxer is known for.
The atmosphere is best suited to people looking for an uncomplicated drink and a casual sports-bar experience, whether meeting friends or settling in for a few beers. Boxer Brewing Co.’s story is built around loyalty, dedication and a hands-on commitment to each batch, with the team presenting its beer as the result of care and craft. For Hope Island locals and visitors who enjoy trying beers from a Gold Coast brewery, The Kennel provides a straightforward way to experience the Boxer range.
