History

During the gold rush, Cascade exported beer and timber to mainland Australia, particularly Victoria. After Peter Degraves died, his sons Charles and John took control and renamed the business C & J Degraves - Cascade. John Wemyss Syme bought the estate in December 1881; he and his partners combined three rival Hobart breweries into Cascade Brewery Company Limited.

  1. 1824Peter Degraves arrived in Hobart Town with his family and other settlers on 10 April, and they began building a sawmill. Hugh Macintosh and his nephews Henry and Charles Degraves established the brewery beside Hobart Rivulet that year.
  2. 1832After his release from prison, Peter Degraves took over running and expanding the brewery.
  3. 1967Bushfires almost destroyed the brewery building. It was rebuilt and operating again three months later.
