Brisbane Airport is now home to a 4 Pines Brewery and the Never Never gin distillery, complete with an 800-capacity venue, beer garden, gastropub dining, and multiple event and function spaces.
Landers Pocket officially opened its doors today, part of an expanded 16-hectare entertainment hub at Brisbane Airport’s Skygate precinct, which is easily accessible via a free bus from the Domestic and International Terminals.
Once fully completed, Landers Pocket will also feature padel courts, Kick-n-Catch play zone, a 3,000-person amphitheatre for live music and major events, plus a 1,000-person lawn set to host festivals, market pop-ups and family-friendly activations.
The existing state-of-the-art golf driving range at Golf Central has also doubled in size and include ball tracking in every bay.
Landers Pocket’s namesake is a nod to Brisbane Airport’s history, the market garden that occupied part of the airport site a century ago.
James Cooper, Managing Director at Landers Pocket said the precinct was four times the size of Howard Smith Wharves and would provide a distinctive consumer experience for thousands of visitors and travellers each week.
“Our vision for Landers Pocket is to create a truly unique entertainment destination – a place that celebrates award winning beer and gin, new wave golf and elevated dining. This is just the beginning.”
Todd Atkinson, General Manager at 4 Pines Brewing Co. said the brewery would pour 32 draught taps, including the beloved 4 Pines Brewing Co. core range, as well as two rotating taps of ‘here today, never to be seen again’ bespoke Brisbane limited-release beers brewed onsite.
“4 Pines Brewing Landers Pocket isn’t your average pub – it’s part of a one-of-a-kind entertainment quarter with the freshest beer brewed on-site, great food, good vibes, and something for everyone. We’re pumped to throw the doors open and be part of this epic new precinct,” he said.
Scott Norris, Executive General Manager Commercial at Brisbane Airport said the new hub would cater to both Brisbane locals and travellers.
“This new dining and entertainment precinct at Skygate reinforces that Brisbane Airport is more than just a gateway, it’s a destination in its own right for Brisbane residents. This vibrant new hub is for everyone, whether you’re touching down, taking off or simply dropping in for an afternoon of sunshine and craft pours in the beer garden.”
Brisbane Airport is currently celebrating its 100th birthday, and is undergoing a $5 billion Future BNE transformation across the precinct in the next five years.
