Main Info
Cascade Brewery is a brewery established in 1824 in South Hobart, Tasmania, and is the oldest continually operating brewery in Australia.
The Cascade Brewery, Australia’s oldest remaining brewery, was established by Peter Degraves in 1832 when Hobart Town’s 55 licensed pubs served a population of 10,000 and vast quantities of alcohol were consumed. Government regulation of distilleries boosted Degraves’ fledgling industry, and by the 1850s it was a leader among the island’s 48 breweries.
