Cascade Brewery is the oldest continually operating brewery in Australia. It is based in South Hobart Tasmania. The Cascade estate (originally a saw milling operation) was founded beside the clean water of the Hobart Rivulet in 1824 by Peter Degraves (1778 – 31 December 1852) an entrepreneur who emigrated from England on the Hope in 1824. In 1826 charges were laid against Degraves for debt and he was taken into custody until 1831. In 1832 Peter Degraves built a Brewery on his property.
