Cascade Brewery Tour (Guided Tour, Beer School & City Loop) 2024

If you have a passion for beer (or beverage production in general) then a trip to the Cascade Brewery promises to be an unforgettable experience. A tour of the brewery includes a fascinating lesson on the history of Australia’s oldest brewery. You will also get a taste of the beer and cider that is central to Australian culture.

The beautiful, old building is located on the outskirts of Hobart. Its location makes it the perfect morning (or afternoon) activity if you’re visiting the area.

Depending on the amount of time you have, or how in-depth you want to go, there are several tours available. The general, guided tour takes you through the brewhouse and shares insight into the ingredients and craft that is involved in the beer-making process. After learning about the process, you can enjoy a taste of the end product while relaxing in the beer garden.

If the process fascinates you, even more, you can also book a beer production lesson which includes a taste of two drinks of cider and beer. The informal lesson involves food matching and a brief overview of the production of beer.

If Cascade Brewery is one of your stops on a broader itinerary, why not book a 48-hour Hobart city loop? The hop-on-hop-off bus includes a stop at Cascade Brewery, giving you a chance to explore the brewing process (and tastings), the heritage gardens and historic buildings.
