What a great place to visit. We started with a brewery tour and ended with a great lunch in the bar. I highly recommend the tour. So interesting and informative and really brings a context to the brewery and life in Tasmania in the early days. An interesting owner history and a great Australian story. The bar is excellent. Warm, inviting, live music and great atmosphere. Food was delicious and beer flowing even better. Shout out for the cider - a winner for the non beer drinker.

Fantastic brewery tour.... informative but without too many dull facts. Our guide on the 11.30am tour was awesome. We now had the background of the beers on the tasting paddle. Lunch was excellent. There was a bocce court and the gardens were lovely

Located at 140 Cascade Road, South Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺 This is a Brewery heavy with history back to 1824. Even if you don’t do the offered tours through the actual brewery (which unfortunately I was unable to do because of time constraints), just visiting the bar is worth it. You can do the Historic tour for $12 or the Brewery Tour for $38. You must be 18+ years to do the Brewery tour. The menu in the Bar is pretty basic. I had the Fried Chicken Burger which was delicious 😋. I will say when I went to the bar to order, the server was not overly friendly or welcoming. He acted as though he couldn’t care if I was there or not . No smile, nothing. To the point of being rude. That was really my only complaint, other than our meals being delivered a little slow. The atmosphere is very relaxed and it’s designed very rustic. You can sit inside or outside and there’s a bbq set up outside also. There is a tiny museum in the cottage upstairs but it’s very basic. Worth a visit but you have to climb the stairs. That’s free entry. You can also buy souvenirs in the entrance to the bar. it’s a popular place considering the number of people there and it was a weekday at lunch. I imagine it would be packed on the weekends. Would definitely recommend a visit. Thumbs up! (Just work on the service) 👍👍

My family and I did the history tour which was very interesting our guide was very knowledgeable. After the tour we had lunch at the bistro and the customer service is 10/10. My daughter is allergic to seafood and nuts and they did everything they can to accommodate her allergies. They made sure that the food she was getting does not have any allergens even if it means altering the dish.

My family and I are visiting from Queensland. This was absolutely amazing! The customer service was amazing especially since being busy, it can be hard to multi task and get orders correct and ect. However, all staff were awesome! We had a beer tasting, for non-beer drinkers, every single one was refreshing and yummy. And the paddles are so cool! Now, the food. We all ordered different things and everything was absolutely delicious. We had pork belly bites, fish and chips, oysters, pork cutlets, chicken burger, cauliflower parmi and side of their sourdough bread with their AMAZING MALT BUTTER. I would love the recipe please! The experience was amazing! If you’re someone who fuses over bits of rubbish, more standoff customer service, casual restaurant vibes, then maybe chose someplace other. However, if you’re looking for outdoor seating, something fun & good food! You have to come here! We will definitely be back!
