    The multi-award-winning Brass Monkey Brew House, located at 106 Donges Road in Severnlea just south of Stanthorpe, has been listed for sale as its founding owner Ernie Butler prepares for retirement.

    Established in 2014, the venue has built a reputation that stretches far beyond the Granite Belt.

    The business features an efficient 16sqm production setup and a 20sqm dedicated fermenting room, giving a new owner the immediate ability to produce the establishment's celebrated line-up of ginger beers, pale ales, pilsners, and stouts.

    Ray White Rural Stanthorpe sales agents Guy Sellick and Julie Clark are marketing the property and said the sale represents an extraordinary walk-in opportunity for someone wanting to inject themselves into a thriving tourism community.

    “Brass Monkey Brew House is an absolute institution on the Granite Belt,” Mr Sellick said.

    “Ernie’s recipes have been winning major competition medals for years, and the brand has an incredibly loyal following among both the locals and the thousands of tourists who flock to this region every weekend.

    “It is completely rare to find a turnkey destination venue where all the hard setup work has already been done for you.”

    The property is perfectly configured to handle high-volume weekend trade and private functions.

    It includes a 12sqm fully equipped commercial kitchen fitted with a large pizza oven, a spacious indoor guest lounge and bar area, and an expansive, fully licensed 120sqm outdoor beer garden shaded by large trees.

    A massive on-site car park ensures hassle-free access for large events.

    To ensure a smooth transition, the current owners are offering a competitive start-up incentive: the first three months of the commercial lease will be completely rent-free, with highly negotiable long-term lease structures available thereafter.

    “The business is beautifully set up for an owner-operator or an investor who wants to let the existing team handle day-to-day operations,” Mr Sellick said.

    “With three part-time staff already contributing 32 hours a week and a lease incentive that gives you a three-month head start, the potential for expansion into larger tourism-focused events or extended trading hours is immense. The vendors are genuinely ready to hand over the reins and will listen to all reasonable offers.”
