Cascade Brewery
Australia's oldest working brewery, founded in 1824. Its imposing Gothic brick buildings sit at the foot of Mount Wellington, and you can tour the brewery and taste the beers.
Cascade Brewery in South Hobart brews its beer with clean spring water from Mount Wellington. Guided tours last about 1 to 1.5 hours and cover the brewing history and parts of the production area. They end with a tasting of several beers (visitors must be 18 or older and wear closed-toe shoes), and there is also a non-alcoholic heritage tour. The garden in front of the buildings and the beer restaurant are good for lunch. Tours cost about AUD 35 to 45, and booking on the official website is recommended. It's about a 15-minute bus ride from the city center and can be visited together with the Cascades Female Factory site.
