  2. Cascade Brewery

    Around a bend in South Hobart, standing in startling, gothic isolation, is the Cascade Brewery. Australia's oldest brewery, it was established in 1832 next to the clean-running Hobart Rivulet, and is still pumping out superb beer and soft drinks today. Tours involve plenty of stair climbing, with tastings at the end (including Cascade Premium, the global sales smash!).

  3. Lark Distillery

    The Lark Distillery, on Davey St, near the visitors centre, produces various fruit liqueurs and a single malt whisky. (Tastings available.) You can also get a bite to eat here. Of an evening, the venue becomes a lounge bar.
