Ever had chilli in your beer? Taken a chilli cooking class? Or perhaps you’d prefer to enjoy it in a more traditional way? From Caloundra to Noosa Heads we’ve found 3 of the best and most interesting ways to enjoy chilli on the Sunshine Coast.
Sunshine Coast Brewery
The Sunshine Coast Brewery is home to the famous Chilli Beer. All you chilli lovers who think you’ve seen it all when it comes to the spicy pepper think again. For chilli regulars, the normal process goes: order your spicy dish, eat and then wash away any excess hotness with a nice cold beer. But the Brewery Bar & Restaurant, located within the Sunshine Coast Brewery, has changed the game. Here you order a chilli beer and wash it down with one of the tasty bistro-style steak and garden salads. The beer comes in two variations, the Chilli Beer for beginners and for those who enjoy a bit more spice the Hot Chilli Beer – which is soaked in chilli for longer before it’s capped. Come for the Chilli Beer and stay for the food at the Brewery Restaurant & Bar.
