Welcome to Revel Brewing Co Rivermakers, where history and brewing excellence intertwine to create an unforgettable experience for corporate, private, and social events!

Step into our brewery and immerse yourself in the rich heritage of the Commonwealth Acetate of Lime Factory, a historic gem listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. Originally constructed between 1917 and 1920, these buildings hold significant importance due to their association with the war effort and the remarkable achievements of chemist and brewer, Auguste de Bavay.

Auguste de Bavay, a renowned figure in Australia's brewing industry, designed the Acetate of Lime Factory to produce an essential 8% beer during the war. This unique facility played a vital role in Australian self-sufficiency in ammunition manufacture. Recognizing its significance, Auguste de Bavay generously donated the patent to the Commonwealth of Australia and was even awarded the Order of the British Empire by King George V.

The historical journey of the Acetate of Lime Factory didn't end there. From 1943 to 1948, the building served as a Royal Australian Navy base, cementing its place in the nation's military history. Following that, it became a welcoming hostel for British and European immigrants, fostering the multicultural fabric of Australia that thrives today. Later, it housed the renowned Hans Continental Smallgoods business until 2008, leaving the site brimming with stories and memories.

Revel Brewing Co. takes immense pride in preserving this heritage and re-establishing the original brewing purpose within these historic walls. Our Revel Rivermakers Restaurant offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to relish Queensland's remarkable past while enjoying exceptional beer and delightful culinary offerings.

We randomly decided to visit the venue with our little dog today. It was absolutely packed but we managed to grab a nice table outside with a view. The staff were amazing, attentive, friendly. The food was very tasty and reasonably priced. The staff even found the time to provide a bowl of cold water for our dog as it was crazy hot. Special mention to Barbara who was running around like a blue ass fly trying to get people seated whilst sorting out people who ordered food from tables then decided to move and not notify staff. All round a great experience and can’t wait to come back for a decent food and beverage session!

I love Revel beer and the retrofit of this historic district is nicely done. However, aside from one very helpful and competent staff member, most seemed at loose ends. Our reservation was botched and the food was mediocre, particularly for the price. Rather than making the drive and fighting for a park, next time I'll just pick up a Revel 4 pack from the local bottle-o and BBQ at home.

Went to Revel Brewing Co Rivermakers for a boozy Sunday lunch for Mother’s Day. Really cool place in an awesome location on the Brisbane river. It’s got secluded winery vibes on entry and the place itself is actually a really nice place to be. Food wasn’t too bad, classic pub feed style menu. Wasn’t anything to rave about but generally tasty. Massive selection of beers as you would expect all pretty good. All in all good experience, would recommend.

Ben, find another job champ. People come to a brewery to enjoy an afternoon and evening with friends, not be rudely served, ignored then after your other colleague served me (properly I might add, good bloke) accuse me of not paying (ironically as you were ‘serving’ another customer). I show you the payment on my phone and you follow up with “don’t try that one”. Still accusing me of not paying?? Honestly the worst service I’ve ever experienced and I won’t be back. A real shame given such a stunning venue.

The team at Revel Rivermakers are absolutely amazing! Our team held our end of year event at Revel and the booking process was so easy - no request was too difficult and everything was easy to plan and pay in advance. Fast forward to the evening of the event, and the Revel team on that night were phenomenal— they were incredibly attentive and made our event fantastic. They truly went above and beyond at every point of our evening, going as far as lending us a HDMI cord when ours failed. I would highly recommend this venue for any event or relaxed evening out.
