Welcome to the Sunny Coast.
I'm at the southern end and one of my favourite spots for a few drinks is the Drift Bar at Caloundra. Overlooks Bulcock Beach, towards Bribie Island, they've got a few good craft beers on tap, usually have live entertainment and it's pretty a pretty relaxing place to kick back.
If you want to try a couple of local micros, there's Brewbake at the Big Pineapple, nice beer, but there's not much else going on at the once iconic tourist attraction.
Also, you could try
The Sunshine Coast Brewery at Kunda Park. It's in an industrial estate and they've been around for a few years, so they must be doing something right. They do a nice Pilsner and a pretty tasty calamari dish. Check opening times, because they might not open very late.
Taps at Mooloolaba, I've never been there, someone else might be able to give you an idea of what it's like.
B-Fresh, Nicklin Way, Warana is a good place to go for groceries.
