Crafted Festival Gold Coast shines with Carbon 6 Brewing

This past weekend marked a milestone for Carbon 6 Brewing as we attended Crafted Festival Gold Coast for the very first time, and what a day it was! Thousands of passionate craft beer fans poured into the beachfront festival grounds, where over 50 breweries gathered alongside incredible food vendors and live music, creating an atmosphere that perfectly celebrated the culture of craft beer.

We’re thrilled to say our debut was a huge success, with almost all of our beers selling out by the end of the day. The star of the show was without a doubt Dopamine West Coast IPA, our collaboration with the legends at Happy Valley Brewing Co. (check out the brew day video here). This modern twist on the classic West Coast IPA quickly became a crowd favourite. Festival-goers loved its bold yet balanced character, describing it as super easy-drinking and refreshing, the perfect beer to sip under the Gold Coast sun.

Another big hit was our pHantasy Sour, which drew plenty of attention for its vibrant, refreshing profile. Many punters told us it was one of their standout festival beers, and we couldn’t agree more.

The vibe throughout the day was electric, with music pumping, food trucks serving up delicious bites, and a sea of craft beer fans enjoying every moment. For us, being part of such an iconic event was truly special, and the warm reception we received from the Gold Coast community meant the world.

We want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who stopped by our tent, grabbed a beer, and shared in the fun. Crafted Festival 2025 was one for the books, and we’re already looking forward to heading back next year with even more brews to share.

See you at the next one!
