Last drinks have been called on the central Queensland online beer economy.

Started by Yeppoon's Clint Miles late last year, the Facebook community page encouraged people to swap goods and services for slabs of beer or bottles of booze.

Central Queensland beer economy's tap has been turned off.

It attracted more than 3400 members, but this week it was shut down by the Queensland Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) - a move some have labelled as "un-Australian".

"Under the Liquor Act it turns out that the government says it is not legal therefore this site must be closed," Mr Miles wrote on the page.
