Cascade Brewery

The Cascade Brewery sits on Cascade Road in South Hobart, beneath the slopes of kunanyi/Mount Wellington. Australia's oldest continuously operating brewery, it's a genuine Hobart icon — combining a stunning, historic sandstone building with quality beer, brewery tours and lovely gardens, the kind of landmark attraction that pairs heritage, scenery and a great drop.

The appeal is that combination of genuine history, beautiful surrounds and quality beer: the magnificent heritage brewery building, the chance to tour and learn about its long brewing history, the lovely gardens and, of course, the beer itself, all in a gorgeous setting below the mountain. As Australia's oldest brewery, it's a fascinating and memorable visit for beer lovers and history buffs alike.

With a 4.6 rating from 500 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved attraction. Brewery tours, tastings, the gardens, opening hours, bookings and pricing vary, so it's worth checking current details and booking tours ahead where needed before you go — particularly for a tour or tasting — then enjoying the history, the gardens and the beer at the Cascade Brewery in Hobart.
