James Boag and Son Brewery...

We went to Launceston on the weekend for the Melbourne Victory V Central Coast Mariners game... I wanted to do something touristy but not too far away from the city, and this was perfect!

Kate, our guide was very likeable, she gave loads of info but was never boring... The hour or so flew by, learnt a bit about the beer making process, and the history of beer in Launceston, checked out the process as we went... Finally there was a beer and cheese tasting, the beers were good, the XXX ale, which is actually a lager, only available on the island, was awesome! We even went to the trouble to get a pint of it after the game! The cheeses were mindblowingly good... Making me sad that Mark is vegan...

The tour was $50 for both of us, and you get the 3 beers and cheeses included, which was great value! It was a lovely way to spend and afternoon... Highly recommend it!
