A $30 million riverfront brewery in Brisbane East that will produce 10 million litres of beer a year has been given the tick of approval.

Scottish beer giant BrewDog submitted a development application to Brisbane City Council on March 15, proposing to build its first Australian brewery in the Metroplex complex at Murarrie.

The development would cover 28 per cent of the15,340 square-metre site and include a brewery and a food and drink outlet.

While the operation of the site will be 24/7 the council has made it a condition of approval that the food and drink shop element is only able to trade from 7am to midnight.
