Job Description
Matso’s has always been a little different, but we’re proud of that. Sometimes our remoteness has forced our hand, other times the heat has driven us to think differently about flavour and refreshment. From tropical places, with tropical heat, it takes a lot of Australian character and a great sense of humour to thrive.
Starting life as Australia’s most remote brewery at our spiritual home in Broome WA, Matso’s is now enjoyed at pubs, bars and backyards right across the country. In late December 2023, we launched Matso's on the other side of the country in Eumundi on the beautiful and laid-back Sunshine Coast.
Inspired by our original, our second home taps into the heritage of an old Queensland pub with a stunning modern extension that opens onto a massive backyard and beer garden.
The Venue:
- Located on the main street of Eumundi, directly across from the famous Eumundi Markets
- All-day dining, 7 days a week
