Cascade Brewery
The Basics
Beer lovers can peek behind-the-scenes and discover the beer-making process on a guided brewery tour, or take part in a Cascade Beer School workshop and learn more about its historic brews. You can also sample the full range of Cascade beers and ciders, and tuck into delicious seasonal cuisine, at the Brewhouse. Thanks to its strategic location by Mount Wellington, the brewery is also popular with hikers seeking an ideal pre- or post-hike lunch destination.
Things to Know Before You Go
The Cascade Brewery is a must-do for beer lovers.
Brewery tours are open to guests aged 16 and older, tastings are for those at least 18 years old, and the Cascade Beer School is open to all ages.
Brewery tours take 1.5 hours including tasting; Cascade Beer School workshops last 30 minutes.
Brewery tour participants must be covered from the waist down, and shoes must be flat and closed-toe.
Numbers are limited for brewery tours, so it’s recommended to book in advance, especially in peak season.
The Brewhouse is accessible to wheelchair users, but due to stairs, the brewery tour is not.
How to Get There
Cascade Brewery is located at the foot of Mount Wellington in South Hobart, about a 10-minute drive from downtown. Buses from central Hobart stop close to the brewery; you can also catch a taxi.
