Be Back Whenever

Shambles Brewery, Hobart, Tasmania

If it’s a sunny, Saturday afternoon, it must be beer time! (In full disclosure we don’t need it to be sunny, or Saturday to drink a craft beer.)  We had a nice walk from downtown Hobart to Shambles Brewery, located in an old building that used to house meatpackers’ union.

Only in Australia – or maybe only in Hobart … if you check the website, you’ll see that the tasting room is closed on Public Holidays!

Shambles front patio

Nice patio to use on a sunny day

Nice modern bar room.  Why aren’t more people enjoying the beer at 2 PM on a Saturday?

In the back of the building is the brewery and, what I term, a “play area”.  They have a portable bar, several bar tables, and a ping pong table.  I assume that this area is used for private parties or overflow on busy days.

The back room for brewing and parties.

House Rules for Ping Pong at Shambles – I am sure many people will be disappointed to see the “No beer pong”!  We also wonder if the contravention is violated, whose balls are removed ?

These were the beers they had when we stopped by. Note the wine on the menu.

No idea what the animal really is but read some of the ingredient descriptions.
