Land and Sea Brewery, Noosaville

The crew at Land & Sea Brewery are doing all sorts of good. These guys were Noosa’s first and original micro craft brewery and serve up a unique selection of refreshing beers, distilled spirits and made-from-scratch meals and snacks.

They aim to be as carbon neutral as possible and are constantly devising new ways to minimise their environmental impact – their brewhouse is entirely powered through in-house solar power and a water tank is used for their irrigation system. Malted barley waste from the brewing production is transformed into sourdough bread rolls by a local baker just 50 metres down the road, and a local farmer by the name of "Al" feeds his cattle with it.

Talk about legends!

Mr Jones and Me, Noosaville

Tucked away just off the Noosa River in Noosaville, Mr Jones and Me hits the perfect mix between casual and sophisticated dining time and time again. Plus they are one of Noosa’s more recent Plastic Free Champions and have replaced single-use plastics with biodegradable straws, coffee cups and lids, and now serve their guilty pleasure hot chocolates with wooden Paddle Pop sticks.

Heads of Noosa Brewery Co, Noosaville

Heads of Noosa Brewery jumped at the chance to be involved in Noosa's Zero Emission initiative. The team thought utilising the sunshine that gives our wider region its name would be a great place to start. So, they recently installed 300 solar panels on their brewery roof to see them cover up to 60% of the power used for production with renewable energy. The panels are estimated to produce enough to offset over 140,000 kilos of carbon dioxide.
