Cheers

MONA museum, winery and wine bar.
Great architecture and surrounds, good wine, great selection of beer, wine and spirits, including draught moo brew. If you go into the museum, you can spend time at the void bar on the bottom level but museum entry is not required (I'd recommend it though).

Nant whisky bar in salamanca.
There is a distillery on the way to port arthur and Port arthur itself is well worth a visit.

Also winston hotel is my pick of hobart pubs.

 

[DU99]

also lark distillery Hobart
Hellyers Road at Burnie

 

[manticle]

Lark in hobart is a bar rather than the actual distillery but it's worth a visit and in addition to their own single malts and liqueurs, they have an excellent and extensive range of whisky.

Also seven sheds. Somewhere between devonport and cradle mountain.

+1 For The Winston...now pouring their own beers.

Another new brewery has opened up in Elizabeth St, just down from The Republic The Winston, The Homestead (all good)...its called Shambles...check it out.

The Whaler in Salamanca is your best bet for one off's and short run craft beers, or head up to Preachers for their beer garden!

Cheers

So many places around Tassie now its great!

I'm yet to make it to Shambles but from all accounts they re making some great beer in a well fitted out brewery. More info here...https://www.facebook.com/shamblesbrewery/timeline

+1 for The Winston. There is also Blighs Brewery which is also close to The Winston and Shambles.

The Whaler has some great beers on tap. Had the Ella Pale yesterday which was great.

Preachers just around the corner is always reliable, Jack Greene is alright and Watermans.

You won't stay thirsty for long.

Shambles brewery is also highly recommended.

Relatively new, but started by an accomplished homebrewer from Canberra.

Don't forget 2MeterTall ! I've not been, but heard amazing reports. I'll be there soon (next week actually )

If you are near Devonport, nice little round trip starting with Spreyton Cider, then through to Sheffield (great murals, nice bakery, good sweet shop), Railton to Seven Sheds brewery, then across the Elizabeth Town for Ashgrove Cheese and finish at Latrobe with Anvers Chocolates. Hellyer Whiskey in Burnie is nice as well - does tours.

 

[Fendercaster]

Awesome response guys! Really appreciate the input. We are currently planning exactly where to go and i love a good pop in to exciting places that were recommended. Just looking at accommodation now as to where exactly we should go. Yewwww cheers. Might go pour an ale and look over some of these places.

If you're a nature lover and have time, go to cradle mountain, do some walks. If you don't mind a climb, do the summit track. Stupendous.
Also recommend bruny island. They have a house of whisky (specialises in tas whiskies) a smokehouse and stunning land and beach scapes.

 

[DU99]

waratah hotel about $100 a night,continential breakfest.top end of murray street..

 

[Crusty]

If you like cider, Willie Smiths is worth a visit. Beautiful drive through the Huon valley.

 

[spog]

Also seven sheds. Somewhere between devonport and cradle mountain.

Railton,and you can get some pics of all the topiary while there...zzzzz

Those two destinations book ended our last trip. A feed and a few pints at Hotel Brunys worth the price of the ferry alone.
