Deep South Brewing Co.

Deep South Brewing Co. is a brewery destination in Hobart built around beer, food and a flexible, characterful space. The venue is open from Tuesday to Thursday from 4pm and from midday on Friday and Saturday, with reservations and a food menu available through its website. It also sells gift vouchers and brewery merchandise, making it an option for a planned visit as well as a casual stop for a drink.

The beer list covers a broad range of styles and strengths. Pedra Pale is an American-style pale ale with a copper colour, a layered malt base and a firm bitterness from Australian and US hops. Sharksjaw IPA pushes hops further forward, pairing Simcoe and Mosaic with resinous and floral notes at 7.2%. The brewery also produces a 3.5% mid-strength beer designed for an easy-going session, while its Uncharted keg changes over time between experimental and seasonal releases. Other named beers available in cans through bottleshops include Lion Rock Session, Flat Witch XPA and Black Rice Lager.

The downstairs area has concrete floors, a private dining room, a pool table and a view towards the brewery at the back. Upstairs, a mezzanine dining area combines festoon lighting with long share tables and is set up to accommodate both smaller and larger groups. That layout gives the venue different uses without relying on a single style of visit: it can work for a small gathering, a larger shared meal or an organised event. The upstairs space is also available for weddings, parties and other functions, with the brewery inviting enquiries about event plans.

For beer drinkers, the appeal is the chance to explore a rotating tap list alongside established releases, with descriptions that range from pale, dry and lightly spiced beers to fuller, hop-driven styles. The venue’s group-friendly tables and private dining room make it particularly suited to celebrations and functions, while the pool table adds another reason to linger. Wholesale stockists can order selected cans through the brewery’s distribution contact, and the brewery also lists its beers for purchase at good bottleshops across Tasmania.
