Australia’s Oldest Brewery

By Linda Tancs

Goulburn is Australian for beer, mate. Centrally located between Sydney and Canberra in New South Wales, it’s the nation’s first inland city. It’s also where you’ll find the oldest surviving brewery and industrial complex in Australia. Restored to master brewing processes in effect since 1836, the complex is open to tours by groups only by appointment. Workers’ cottages add to the charm, giving visitors a cozy respite 1800s-style, with roaring log fires, earth and brick floors and lime-washed walls in the mews.
