Boags Brewery

The history of James Boags Brewery is a fascinating one that began with the Esk Brewery along The Esplanade in 1881. Barely a year later it was bought by James Boag and his son, and has now become one of Australia's iconic premium beers.

The glass walled building seen here (creatively lit green from inside) houses the mash tun room dating from the 1960s. This is where yeast is added to the barley mash and the conversion to alcohol takes place from the sugars in the barley. The neon sign is one of the last remaining of its kind in Australia.
