Carlton & United Breweries
Just in case Homer Simpson ever makes it to Melbourne, Foster’s beer-brewing empire runs two-hour tours of its Abbotsford operations. Enormous 30m-wide vats of beer and the superfast bottling operation give a whole new meaning to the term ‘beer-goggles’. And yes, samples are included in the price. Tours run Monday to Friday; children under 10 and those in open-toed shoes are not admitted. Bookings essential.

C
Cascade Brewery
The Cascade Brewery, in South Hobart, is a grand gothic edifice. It’s Australia’s oldest brewery, established in 1832 next to the clean-running Hobart Rivulet, and still pumps out superb beer and soft drinks today. Tours involve plenty of stair climbing with beer tastings at the end. Visitors must wear flat, enclosed shoes and long trousers (no shorts or skirts), and book in advance. You can take a tour on weekends, but none of the machinery will be operating (brewers have weekends, too).
