Atmospheric, historically significant to Hobart brewery. Great tour guide, not afraid of controversy making the tour conversations interesting, as well as informative. The after drinks paddle, relaxing gardens and chit chat w family helped make this experience a great memory for me.

Surprisingly good! A great tour, good value for money. Our Guide knew her stuff and was extremely knowledgeable in all questions that were thrown at her. From the history of the business to the buildings, surroundings and intricate processes used in the making of beer plus the beer tasting at the end, this tour is a winner.

Tom was a fantastic tour guide! If you want to know the inside story of the oldest continuously running brewery in Oz, then this is a must. Don’t forget to sample 1st Harvest…it’s awesome!

Very good

Love A Beer, You Gotta Come Here

Yvonne_R, Mar 2026
The tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and our group was kept under his watchful eye when walking the site making you feel safe. Recommend a session after lunch to make the most of the beer samples on a full stomach =]

Fun day! With historical information!!

Yvonne_S, Mar 2026
Short trip by taxi from town, therefore cheap journey cost to and from. So no one has to drive. Great tour followed by fun testing of their beers. Worth the time, good fun. Recommendation!

Brewery experience

Paul_D, Mar 2026
Our tour guide, Henry, was very accommodating & knowledgeable. He supplied a safety vest, safety glasses & a hard hat for the whole group. There are closed in shoes supplied if you show up in sandles etc. At the end of the tour you are given four different beers to sample.

A great tour - fully recommended!

Beer Tour, Tasting & Lunch!

Stephanie_S, Jan 2026
We really enjoyed the Cascade Brewery tour; we got to the tour from the Hobart Hop on and off from the Cruise Terminal; the tour includes a history of the brewery and a nice beer tasting at the end. Highly recommend - the tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly! We stayed after the tour for lunch at their restaurant, which was amazing!

It was a good experience shared with my family

Linda_L, Dec 2025
It was interesting, learnt new things. It was well paced. The presenter was clear and fun. Although she did talk a little to fast at times. The tour was very informative and well presented.

Perfectly Presented

Louise_P, Dec 2025
Our guide was a wonderful presenter who found the perfect balance of facts, history and humour. We finished our day off by enjoying the tasting drinks from the tour, plus a few more, along with some side dishes in the gardens. Highly recommend this tour as true value.

Port Arthur

Jenny_M, Dec 2025
Great tour. Hugo the tour guide and driver was brilliant. My hubby and I were a bit late at the meeting point, but he returned back to us. Thanks for your patience. Port Arthur is a memorable trip and would recommend it to everyone.

Viator says to meet at 140 Cascade Rd, STH Hobart. DO NOT GO THERE. It’s a basic pub. Put in Cascade Brewery and head there.

Bestest tour!!

Lorene_T, Nov 2025
Had a blast today on the brewery tour. We all got our hi vis happening and off we set with Laura (from memory, but she’s a Scottish lass) & she was mighty informative & mightily funny (of course - she’s a Scot after all). Now, steps people.. There are quite a few stairs so be forewarned. But this fat old broad with a dickie knee managed it, so don’t hold back. At the end of the tour we all received a paddle tasting board. Do yourself a massive favor and head on out to the garden restaurant. You won’t be disappointed. The beer is amazing and so was the food! Seriously people, even if you’re not a beer drinker they have cider (which I was told was pretty awesome). Look, even if you head there for a feed you won’t go wrong. So pleased that we did this tour.

Great little 1hr tour...

Wen, Nov 2025
Great little 1hr tour with tasty beer tasting afterwards. Met some great people and Rob the guide was great.

Fantastic tour, especially with Shakira as Tour Guide!

Jacqueline_C, Oct 2025
Shakira was fantastic! Highly informative, easy to listen to and happy to answer questions. There are so many reviews that are negative due to not being able to enter the buildings but this doesn't deter from it being a great tour. So interesting, definitely not boring and so much to see. Do this tour - we'd do it again it was so good!

The tour guide was very...

Simone_S, Aug 2025
The tour guide was very informative and the tour was not to long. You use to be able to pour a beer at the end. This was no longer available which was a bit sad.

Interesting and fun
