SAY goodbye to Joe’s Waterhole pub in Eumundi, and give a warm welcome to Matso’s Sunshine Coast, as the region is fast becoming the brewing capital of Australia.
From Moffat Beach Brewing, to Brouhaha in Maleny, and now Matso’s which first opened in Broome, the Sunshine Coast is no stranger to high quality breweries.
With the rebranding of the popular Joe’s Waterhole Pub, it gives the venue a fresh look for Eumundi locals and Sunshine Coast residents alike.
Matso’s Brewery spokesperson, Mick McKeown, said he was excited to open Matso’s second location in Australia today (December 21).
“Matso’s is a slightly left of centre brand which is largely driven by our roots in tropical Broome so the opening of our second home in an equally quirky location such as Eumundi is fitting,” he said.
“Across social media we’ve seen Matso’s digitally ‘land’ on the Sunshine Coast and now we are thrilled to announce the grand opening of our physical brewery, inviting the public to experience the amazingly refreshing liquid creations firsthand.”
Mick added that the iconic features of Joe’s Waterhole pub wouldn’t go to waste, and that they have been reused and repurposed in the Matso’s rebrand.
“We understand and respect that many current and former patrons have an affinity with Joe’s Waterhole so the venue has been refurbished with timber and materials from the original pub,” he said.
“We’re breathing new life into Joe’s but keeping pieces of its history, especially in the front bar.
“The new look venue will feature a menu inspired by local ingredients in a relaxed setting including the front bar, main bar, restaurant, a covered beer garden and pool room as well as a unique Matso’s playground for the kids.”
