Beer in Tasmania

Tasmanian beers include Boags in Launceston and Cascade in Hobart, which are the two largest Tasmanian beer producers in the State.[2] Traditionally people from the south of Tasmania drank Cascade whereas Boags is drunk in the north, however, this is becoming less so as intrastate migration increases.[2] Tasmania also has a number of small craft breweries.

The Cascade Brewery is the oldest brewery in Australia,[1] having been founded in 1824

Beer has been brewed in Tasmania since 1824.

Tasmania was the first Australian colony to tax beer. Its Beer Duty Act of 1880 established a duty of 3 pence per gallon which was raised to four pence in 1892.[3]
