Carlton & United Breweries has announced it will open the Cascade Café & Bar in the departure lounge at Hobart Airport in December.

The new venue has been created by Cascade in partnership with airport food and beverage operator SSP Group and in collaboration with Hobart designers JAWSARCHITECTS.

The new bar shares the same elements as the Cascade Brewery Bar, which was launched in August in the foothills of South Hobart: aged brass, hand-painted green ceiling and Tasmanian timber throughout.

“Cascade is synonymous with Tasmania. We’ve been brewing beer since 1832 and we’re just as passionate about our beer today. It makes sense that the last thing travellers experience in Tassie is a little piece of our famous brewery.” said Cascade’s Joss Jenner-Leuthart.

“Cascade is known for our heritage brews, local food and warm Hobart hospitality, and that’s exactly what people will get at our new airport outpost – right down to our signature dimple beer glass. It’s the perfect place to drop in, pull up a stool and relax before you fly out.

“We’ve loved welcoming locals back to our Brewery over the last few months, and we’re getting ready to open our doors again to the mainlanders. We’re really proud to share what we do and showcase the best of Tasmania, and the Airport is a great opportunity to wave a final goodbye to friends new and old.”

Open from early to late, Cascade Café & Bar will be open day and night at Hobart Airport, serving locally roasted coffee and counter food as well as the full Cascade range of tap beer and Cascade pub classics.
