Description
Take a photo of a brewery
Breweries were one of the first businesses set up wherever our country became colonised.
Eventually the biggest breweries got a stranglehold on the industry and forced the smaller breweries to close.
Nowadays the wheel has turned and boutique breweries are popping up all over the place, and I have noticed hops and barley crops are appearing in our area.
The photo can be of an old original brewery or one of the more specialist newer ones, but the photo needs to have the word Brewery in it.
You don’t need to sample their wares but, if you do, let us know what their specialty is.

I came up here yesterday with my old neighbour who now lives in Sydney. We were hoping to grab lunch in the restaurant but it was booked out.
Two Mates Brewing – Lismore NSW
Logging this cache during the 2023 Cachopoly Summer Game.
This place popped up a few years ago and has become a popular spot in Lismore. You can drink in the brewhouse itself. Very reminiscent of the style of boutique breweries that become fashionable in the last 10 years or so. Most local pubs also carry their range, but taphouses as far as Canberra also carry their beer. We also have some in our work fridge.

I was in the area and noticed that the back section of this Prince of Wales Hotel was the Shear A Sun Brewing Co. Everything seemed to be closed while I was here but that suited me as I could not sample their brew(s) as I was driving.

Driving to Point Henry to do a GA History Cache and a GA Trig Cache I saw this Southern Bay Brew Company. I have never heard of it before and although the sign indicates it was open it appeared to be closed at the time I was there. No worries, I was driving after caches so was not in a situation where I could legally taste their products.

While driving around looking for another cache I purely by accident drove past the Little Creatures Brewery. Whilst I had heard of Little Creatures brews and have probably in the past consumed them I would have had no idea where the brewery was. I now know.

S41 009.615 E147 30.826 SCOTTSDALE TASMANIA
Little Rivers Brewing Co. is a Tasmanian boutique style craft brewery located in Scottsdale and provides Tasmanians and visitors alike with a handcrafted, quality range of beer. Little Rivers Brewing Co. is the brainchild of head brewer Chris Carins.
The microbrewery was set up when Chris moved back to Tasmania in 2012 after working as the brewer for Burleigh Brewing in Queensland and gaining 7 years experience in wine making at Pipers Brook Vineyard. The first production batches of Little Rivers beers went on sale in February 2014 and the response has been well beyond expectations. Due to the demand, a substantial upgrade was installed in late 2015 and from there the 1500 litre brewing system was fully functional from February 2016.

S41 32.268 E147 15.439 EVANDALE TASMANIA
The Van Dieman Brewing Company is near Evandale in Tasmania. From their web site I gained the following information: Van Dieman Brewing is an independent brewery, established in 2009, located on a family farm in Northern Tasmania. We combine our passion of agriculture, with the artisanship of fermentation to create our take on a broad array of stylistic beers and modern interpretations of farmhouse ales that incorporate our natural surroundings and local agriculture to uniquely convey a sense of origin, time, place & people - the liquid summation of “terroir.”
It was closed when I was here today. Perhaps for Covid??

While staying in Hobart in November 2019, we made an obligatory visit to the Cascade Brewery that's been continuously operating (except for a few months after being gutted by a bushfire) since 1824 or thereabouts. Actually, we went there twice ... the first time, our tour was cancelled because of a blackout so we settled for a flight of beer instead (the funny thing was that the power came back on while we were at the bar but we couldn't do the tour then because they don't allow you to if you have had a beer) but the second time, we were able to do the tour ... and enjoy a second flight, included in the price of the tour, afterwards.

The Nagambie Brewery and Distillery is a newly opened one on the bank of Lake Nagambie.
We hud lunch there whilst waiting for our family home to be auctioned nearby.
They have maximised the view across the lake, and the meals they served were very tasty and the service was very quick.
It was very busy when we were there because there was a street market nearby bringing extra business to the town.
I didn’t sample their liquid wares but my sister said Bertie’s Cider was very nice.

New England Brewing Co., Uralla, NSW
The main sign says New England Brewing Co. but above the entrance door is another sign Brewery.
From their website:
"We started brewing in early 2013. Our focus is on the New England North West region of NSW, but we also send our beers to leading bottle shops and bars along the East Coast."
A few of the brews are:
* Golden Ale: 'Belgian' style ale, "complex and refreshing lower alcohol beer (4.2% ABV) with fruit and clove ester aromas, followed by a light body with a dry snappy finish."
* Brown Ale: "An English style brown ale that is the perfect match to any pint glass. It has a sweetness coming from the caramel malt, while the chocolate malt throws the rich copper colour and a slight coffee flavour. The beer has a subtle nuttiness and low bitterness." 4.5% ABV
* Pale Ale: "An example of a classic American pale ale. With a creamy white head and brilliant colour, the aroma presents hints of fruits like mango, grapefruit, and passion-fruit, while an earthy and resinous flavour and moderate bitterness finish things off." 4.8% ABV
Normal opening hours: Thursday to Saturday 11am to 6pm.
Address : 19 Bridge Street Uralla NSW 2358

Boag's Brewery
William Street, Launceston TAS 7248
Boag's Brewery (J. Boag & Son) is an Australian brewery company founded in 1883 by James Boag and his son, also named James, in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. It is now owned by Lion, a Trans-Tasman subsidiary company of Japanese beverage conglomerate, Kirin. All of the company's beers are produced in Launceston.
James Boag I arrived in Australia with his wife, Janet, and their four children in 1853 from Scotland. After three months in the Victorian goldfields, they came to Tasmania. After he and his son James Boag II left the Cornwall Brewery in 1878, James II went into partnership with John Glenwright at the Cataract Brewery an James I became the licensee of the All Year Round Hotel.
In 1881, the Esk Brewery was established on the banks of the North Esk River in Launceston by Charles Stammers Button. John Fawns died, and James Boag III was born. In 1883, James I and his son took over the Esk Brewery. J. Boag & Son was officially formed in 1883, as the partnership between James Boag I and his son, to operate the brewery. The company's initial output was seven hogsheads of beer weekly. The name 'Esk Brewery' was retained, although 'Boag's Brewery' became a frequent reference.
In 1887, James Boag II began management of the company on the retirement of his father. A new malthouse was built and weekly production had increased to more than 500 hogsheads, with the brewery employing a 30 members of staff.
In 1898, J. Boag & Son purchased the Cornwall Brewery and amalgamated it with the Esk Brewery; James Boag I died in 1890.
James Boag II died in 1919 and was succeeded by James Boag III who had been training at Tooth and Co.'s brewery in Sydney.
In 1924, James Boag III retired temporarily from the company, and returned in 1930 as Managing Director, a position he held until his death in 1944. His obituary in the Examiner reported: "Having been closely connected with business and sporting activities, Mr Boag was known and respected by a wide circle of friends. At the time of his death, he was Managing Director of J. Boag & Son Limited and a Director of Tasmanian Breweries Pty Limited."
George Boag, James III's second son, took over James' seat on the Board; he was the last Boag working in the business, retiring in 1976 after the death of his wife.
In 2000, San Miguel Corporation acquired J. Boag & Son (previously a publicly listed company) for $92 million. The existing Tasmanian management was retained to continue running the company; production had increased annually for the previous 3 years and this growth was planned to continue.
In 2004, Boag's Brewery was expanded to occupy the complete block enclosed by William, Tamar and Shield Streets and The Esplanade.
San Miguel sold J. Boag & Son to Lion Nathan Ltd in November 2007 for $325 million.
As of 2010 J. Boag and Son employed over 150 people and produced over 76,000,000 litres (17,000,000 imp gal; 20,000,000 US gal) of beer annually.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the new Shepparton Brewery. They are brewing several different types of ales, but not being an ale drinker, I ordered their specialty meal, eggplant chips with black garlic aioli. They were most delicious. But one cannot go to a brewery without sampling one of their wares, so I tried their brown ale icecream. It was unusual, but nice.
This brewery just opened this year, 2019.
