Brewlab Craft Beer Cafe

Brewlab Craft Beer Cafe sits on Gepp Parade in Derwent Park, just north of central Hobart. A craft beer cafe and brewery rolled into one, it's earned a strong following for its beers — tapping into Tasmania's thriving craft-brewing scene with a relaxed spot to drink them fresh, often right where they're made.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely good craft beer and the easygoing atmosphere of a brewery cafe, where you can sample the range and find something new. For beer lovers exploring Hobart and its surrounds, it's a rewarding stop that showcases the local independent scene Tasmania has become known for.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. The beer range rotates, and opening hours, any food offering and events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink and a browse of what's pouring, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing what's on tap, ideally something brewed on site or from Tasmania's excellent local brewers.
