Tom Coster's Brickworks Brewing had a very soft opening a couple of weeks ago and they are doing good business already with lots of support from the community. It's right downtown Hobart on the homecoming parade route.
The Premium vessels are all proudly displayed behind glass at the front door and at the 22-seat bar. 7,000 sq. ft. means it is as uncramped a restaurant as you could possibly want.
Food is sandwiches, fish, and pizzas at $7 to $9.
- Porter – Almost translucent brown.
- IPA – Very agreeable at 40 IBU and 6% ABV. Chinook and Cascade are the standard of the industry and this will stand up straight against any other.
- Dunkelweizen – Deep brown with small white head. Wheat comes through nicely. Thinish body makes it seem weak but is put to the lie by a bold sweetness. Could use a dryer finish but most of that went away when Tom filtered it. It's a learning process.
A "327 Amber" will finish out the regular lineup.
What better way to have a "family day" than spending a Sunday with saws and hammers? In Valparaiso, Lynne and Tom Uban (below) have been working since July on Figure 8 Brewing. They are finishing the construction of walls, walk-in, etc. and will be plumbing their system soon. Kegs and even bottles may be out by the end of the year. Follow their progress by scrolling up through the news.
Location? It's in a new light industrial strip on the east edge of town on SR 130.
