Van Dieman Brewing Co. Van Dieman Brewing Co. is an independent craft brewery founded in 2016 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The brewery is known for small-batch ales, lagers, and seasonal releases informed by Tasmanian hops and barley, and it participates in regional beer festivals and hospitality partnerships across Tasmania and mainland Australia.
Van Dieman Brewing Co. was established in 2016 by brewer Andrew Kelly following experience in Tasmanian craft brewing circles that included links to producers in Hobart and Launceston and collaborations with hospitality groups in Salamanca Place and Battery Point. The company's early development coincided with growth in the Australian craft beer movement championed by producers in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, and it engaged with distributors and retail consortia that work with breweries such as Little Creatures, Mountain Goat, and Coopers. During its formative years Van Dieman Brewing Co. participated in events alongside organisors behind the Great Australasian Beer Spectapular, Australian International Beer Awards, and regional festivals in Hobart and Devonport, working with venues associated with MONA, Federation Concert Hall, and Wrest Point.
The brewery's facility is based in Hobart with brewing equipment sized for microbrewery production, and the site includes a brewhouse, fermenting vessels, conditioning tanks, and a canning line comparable to setups used by other Tasmanian breweries such as Cascade and Moo Brew. Van Dieman Brewing Co. sources malt and hops from Tasmanian suppliers who also serve distillers and cider makers in the Derwent Valley and Huon Valley, and it partners with cold storage, logistics companies, and packaging firms that serve the hospitality and retail sectors represented by chains like BWS, Dan Murphy's, and local bottle shops. The site hosts cellar-door tastings and collaborates with tour operators and culinary institutions linked to Salamanca Market, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, and local restaurants.
Van Dieman Brewing Co. produces a core range of beers, seasonal releases, and small-batch experimental brews that reflect Tasmanian hop varieties and local adjuncts. The portfolio includes pale ales, session ales, pale lagers, and occasional barrel-aged beers, aligning product strategies similar to breweries such as Stone & Wood, Garage Project, and Little Creatures. Releases have been promoted through channels used by craft brewers including taproom events, collaborations with chefs from Franklin Wharf and Agrarian Kitchen, and cross-promotions with cider and distillery brands like Lark Distillery and Hellyers Road. The brewery has created collaborations with regional producers and hospitality venues known across Australia including Harts Real Estate Cafe, The Agrarian Kitchen, Fish Frenzy, and waterfront pubs in Sandy Bay and Bellerive.
Van Dieman Brewing Co. distributes to venues across Tasmania and selectively to mainland Australia through partnerships with independent liquor distributors and on-premise accounts. The brewery works with distribution networks and retail partners that include independent bottle shops and hospitality groups operating venues in Hobart, Launceston, and major Australian cities, and it has engaged with online retail platforms and subscription services that feature craft beer from producers such as BentSpoke, Fixation, and Holgate Brewhouse. Sales channels include cellar-door, wholesale to hotels and bars, accounts with event caterers, and participation in seasonal markets and agricultural shows where producers from the Tasmanian Food & Wine sector exhibit.
Van Dieman Brewing Co. has been represented at regional competitions and beer events where brewers from Tasmania and Australia compete for medals and recognition in forums like the Australian International Beer Awards and state-level craft beer showcases. The brewery's beers have been judged alongside entries from breweries that have received awards such as the Australian Distillers Association honors, Royal Hobart Regatta hospitality awards, and festival accolades shared by peers in the Australian craft scene. Recognition has aided collaborations with chefs, hospitality groups, and tourism organisations that promote Tasmanian food and beverage offerings.
Van Dieman Brewing Co. is active in Tasmania's hospitality and events circuit, participating in beer festivals, farmers' markets, pop-up dinners, and fundraisers that include partners from the regional tourism sector, arts institutions, and environmental organisations. The brewery collaborates with cultural venues, tour operators, conservation groups, and community initiatives that promote Tasmanian produce and visitor experiences, working alongside event organisers who operate festivals at venues such as Salamanca, MONA FOMA, and Binalong Bay festivities. Through taproom events and seasonal releases, the brewery engages with local consumers, hospitality professionals, and craft-beer enthusiasts across Tasmania and in mainland networks.
