Great boutique brewery & distillery. They do a beer tasting paddle for $15. Its great value as they are decent size tasters. Also if you purchase something after you receive a discount on your purchase. My favourite were their Sessions Pale Ale & the Dark Ale. They also distill some great vodka & gins. They then do premixers with these. My favourite was their Grumpy Mule Vodka (ginger & bitters). Also super friendly staff.

From the cannons at the front gate to the fermentation room on the top floor, this informative tour taught us about the secrets of beer making and the convict workers who enjoyed five 10 minute beer drinking sessions each day when the bell rang! Lucinda was a terrific guide.

Great ciders, the lady who did the demo/tasting was very knowledgeable and was extremely enthusiastic as we worked our way through the list, I just liked the classic Apple mix the other half liked the sweeter cherry. We weren’t really sure what the food situation was with the van however.

This business no longer operates from this location. You will find Devils Brewery beers and ciders at all good Tasmanian bottle shops.

Only been open for about 3 weeks so needs a few minor tweeks re seating and tables though rustic appeal is good. Great brew, pricing a bit on the heavy side for craft beer by a small brewery system. Maybe as it expands pricing will trim down more to about 30-50% less.
