Create an itinerary including Cascade Brewery
Founded by an ex-convict in 1832, Cascade Brewery represents the oldest still-operating brewery in the country. Set against the backdrop of a snowcapped mountain and surrounded by lush gardens, the brewery draws clean water from a nearby cascade for its brewing process. Join a tour to learn all about beer-making, and then reap your rewards with a tasting at the end. Pay attention to the label of the brewery's premium lager, depicting the extinct Tasmanian tiger. Note that you'll have to walk up and down a lot of stairs. Plan my day in Hobart using traveler tips and tourist information provided by Klarna Trips.

  • When looking for things to do in Hobart, this was recommended as a must do, in the top 10 on multiple websites. It did not disappoint. It is a beautiful brewery, located in the hills with lush greenery and manicured gardens. There is an abundance of seating, indoor and outdoor, with multiple “pockets”. Bookings are a must for larger groups of 8+, I would even recommend booking for 4. The staff were friendly, happy to recommend food and new what alcohol to pair with what food. Quick cooling time.
  • This place is so chilled out and awesome. We loved the vibe and the grounds are quite pretty. We opted to do our own tasting paddle by getting 3 small beers - I loved the apple cider, cross with 4 pines and their pale ale. Don't miss then when visiting my Wellington
  • Went to visit the factory, but it was not public on that day. Happened to meet a staff member from the factory who is so warm and friendly. She shared so many stories about the brand and the family. The bar is right crossed the factory site. Such a little gem. Lovely garden, nice food, lots of different drinks. The original cidar is a must try. The sweetness and crispiness get balanced so well. Just want to keep drinking that.
  • Fine selection of local beers and ales on tap all fresh from the brewery. Great lunch options too with the fish and chips being a real winner. The outdoor beer garden is a great place to kick back and relax for a pleasant lunch when travelling through Tassie. Will definitely come back on my return!
  • Visiting this brewery was the most satisfying experience in Tasmania. Hop off from the Red Double Decker bus, walking down 50m to grab a historical tap beer and soft swallowing made a perfect day. I started to fall in love with a full flavor of fresh, tasty, and fruity local beers. Sweet potatoes with additional cream was top quality and fantastic to share. Also a beef burger was soft, tender, and melting in mouth. Potato french fries serviced with the burger was better than any other Pubs. Staffs are very helpful, professional, and welcoming. They looked like a good team! Definitely recommended!
