Two new breweries are set to open later this year in Cambridge on the edge of Tasmania’s Coal River Valley wine region, just a couple of minutes’ drive from Hobart Airport.
Last Rites Brewing Company
was founded by five mates: Jason and Brett Allchin, Chris Cooper, Phil Zakaria and Tom Potter.
“
Three of us have been in the hospitality industry. Our brewer’s a PhD in chemistry that’s been home-brewing for about five or six years, and there’s another guy who’s a vineyard manager,” Jason Allchin told Australian Brews News
.
Double Head Brewing, Cambridge
Just down the road is
Double Head Brewing
, the new venture from Amanda and Ty Capaci.
“
There’s two of us, we’re from Tasmania and we’re not shying away from it,” Amanda said of the Double Head moniker.
“
We’re only two minutes drive from Last Rites, which is very exciting – we’re going to have beer, whiskey and wine available for people to experience in the region.”
