Tasmanian Drinks: Meet The Makers

OVERVIEW

Enjoy behind-the-scenes tours and tastings at a brewing and a distillery and meet the people that create the artisanal products. At Hobart Brewing Co., you will follow one of the owners on an insider’s tour of the facility to learn how its core beers and seasonal offerings are brewed. The ingredients are locally sourced to ensure their peak freshness. The downtown brewery and taproom is so popular that it has grown to become the largest in Hobart. Your sampling may include beers such as the flagship amber ale and an IPA that is crafted to strike a perfect balance of tropical fruit and pine. The experience at Lark Distillery in Pontville will be just as immersive. After observing the traditional distillery methods, which produce premier whiskies infused with local barley and pure Tasmanian water, you will enjoy a tasting of the spirits. Some are single malts, others are blends and still others are flavored.
