Cascade Brewery

Cascade Brewery in South Hobart was first built in 1824, and if you passed Year 10 maths you’ll realise that it turns 200 this year. This makes Cascade the oldest continually operating brewery in the country, and as a bonus, it just so happens to be in a ridiculously picturesque spot at the base of kunanyi / Mount Wellington. There are two types of tours you can do here: an all-ages history tour and an 18-plus brewery tour, which obviously includes sampling some of Cascade’s finest beers. If you’d rather just sit and admire the lovely old façade of the building, head to the Cascade Brewery Bar for a bite to eat. The views and food are both top-notch and the gardens are a treat to stroll around after lunch. Keep an eye out for Butch, the restaurant’s resident rooster.
