Seven Sheds Brewery Meadery and Hop Garden Information

Seven Sheds offers food and wine attractions in central Railton on Tasmania’s North-West coast.

Within easy touring distance of north western Tasmania’s great food and wine attractions in topiary-themed Railton, the Seven Sheds cellar door is a ‘must see’ on day tours out of Launceston, Devonport and Burnie areas and for visitors travelling to Cradle Mountain or along Tasmania’s North-West coast.

Seven Sheds is owned and operated by Australia’s foremost beer writer Willie Simpson and his partner Catherine Stark. Author of The Australian Beer Companion, The Beer Bible, Amber and Black and Home Brew, Willie turned to brewing commercial batches of hand-crafted beers in his Railton backyard in 2008. The first release Kentish Ale (named after Railton’s local government area) quickly sold out and beer production was ramped up to meet demand. Now there are four permanent beers as well as seasonal brews and the occasional brewer’s reserve to tantalise the tastebuds.

Seven Sheds meads are made in small batches and include the Melomel (inspired by Tasmania’s black-currants and endemic pepper berries), medium mead, dry and sparkling sweet mead. Cider is also available, usually during spring and summer. Tours are available at 1200 and 1400 for AUD10 per person, bookings recommended. Tastings, paddles, beer by the glass and bottle sales are available from 1100 to1700.

Winter opening times are1100 to 1500 from 1 June 2012 to 31 August 2012 (Winter). Other times by appointment.
