Beer & Brewery Tours in Australia

Try beer production school lessons rather than a pedestrian tasting. Cascade Brewery - one of Australia's oldest working breweries - offers two drinks of cider or beer to pair with informal lessons in food matching and their own beer and cider production. School is quick, inexpensive, probably fun, and holds lessons daily.
