Cascade Brewery is definitely worth a visit for any beer lover. The historic setting is absolutely stunning — nestled at the base of Mt. Wellington, the grounds and heritage building offer a truly unique atmosphere. The beer? Excellent. You can really taste the craftsmanship in every pour, especially if you enjoy classic styles done right. The ambience overall is very pleasant — relaxed, scenic, and perfect for an afternoon out. However, the staff interaction left a bit to be desired. While they were efficient and polite, they didn’t seem particularly keen to engage or offer much beyond the basics. It felt a bit transactional, which was a shame given how welcoming the rest of the experience was. Still, if you're after great beer in a beautiful setting, Cascade delivers. Just don’t expect a chatty or overly friendly service experience.

Such a beautiful spot to spend a few hours. The heritage brewery has so much history, and the views of Mt Wellington in the background are incredible. The gardens are well kept and make the whole place feel really peaceful. The beers are great too — lots of variety and really well made. Whether you’re here for a tasting, a tour, or just to relax with a drink in the sunshine, it’s a place that’s easy to recommend.

Wonderful afternoon spent at Cascade Brewery. We did both tours, shout out to Jasmine our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and obviously loves what she does. Loved the beer paddle after the tours, we also had food which was great. Gardens are amazing, just a wonderful way to spend a few hours. Highly recommended!! Something for everyone.

100% recommend the cascade to anyone visiting. Stunning grounds, and good food and beers- both reasonably priced. Would also recommend doing the brewery tour because the history is pretty interesting and you get a tasting paddle at the end 😊

Absolutely incredible venue! The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, definitely recommend the brisket, yum! And don't get me started on the prices! Half priced pints then 2-for-1 mains on a Thursday is out of this world! The tours were incredible, we went on the historic and the brewery tours. The guides were so knowledgeable! And the beer, don't get me started on the beer! It's just a shame you can't get it outside of Tassie. I'll be back!
