DU CANE BREWING

60-64 Elizabeth Street, Launceston

Words and pictures: Stephanie Williams

On a recent road trip we found ourselves in Launceston around lunchtime. Having heard about the city’s latest brewing offering now being open, we lobbed up to Du Cane Brewing to give it a try. On a drizzly Sunday afternoon the absolutely huge ex-warehouse and walker registration building was packed. The order underway as the kids made a run for the play area. The theme here is adventure and parents will gravitate toward the tables surrounding the climbing wall (yes, a proper climbing wall, with a stack of beanbags to catch the falls). Others, steer clear, this area is hectic! But the kids love it and burn off some pent up energy from our car trip while us adults try a couple of brews (by Launnie local head brewer Will Horan) and wait for our pizza. The food arrives quickly and we enjoy the chewy, perfectly burnt crusts and simple toppings, with a side of hand cut this being the perfect trip stop.
