In May 1883, Messrs Tooth and Company sold the Eagle Brewery and Sugar Refinery to Mr Huesman and partners for £15,500. [1] [2]
In August 1884 at the Brisbane Exhibition, the Queensland Brewing Company Limited won prizes for its draught malt ale, draught XXX ale, draught porter, bottled malt ale and bottled porter. [3]

In 1906, it relocated to Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley (a landmark observed by motorists as they entered the Story Bridge from the northside), [6] although the bridge did not open until 1940.
In the early 1940s, the company built a new headquarters and wine and spirit store at 501 Ann Street in Fortitude Valley. [7] Designed in the Functionalist style with Art Deco motifs, the Queensland Brewery Company Building is now listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. [8]

The Cup was won by St Paul's Football Club of the St Paul's Young Men's Society. "Mr. Roots, as captain of the football club, presented to the president, to hold for the society, the handsome Bulimba Cup, won last season. It was adorned with the club's colours and had been tastefully engraved at Mr. W. T. Pratt's establishment with the words "Presented to St. Paul's Young Men's Society by St. Paul's Football Club," with the date. Mr. Harris suitably replied on behalf of the society, and complimented the footballers on their prowess." [10]
