Established by Willie Simpson and Catherine Stark in 2008, Seven Sheds has evolved from offering a single beer – Kentish Ale - to having four permanent brews available all-year-round, plus two regular seasonals and a range of single-batch “brewers reserve” beers that provide examples of diverse beer styles from around the world.

Seven Sheds beers are handcrafted in an alehouse designed around traditional brewing methods.  Flagship Kentish Ale typifies the robust, flavoursome beers that form the backbone of the Seven Sheds range. A great match for bratwurst sausages or a rabbit pie, Kentish Ale is the most popular Seven Sheds brew and can be enjoyed at select tap locations including Cradle Mountain Chateau and the Mole Creek Hotel (where it’s sold as Tassie Tiger Ale) as well as Hobart’s Lark Distillery Cafe.

Other regular brews include Willie Warmer, a spiced dark ale; the Belgian-style Elephants Trunk which at 7% is one to enjoy while strapped to your favourite armchair; and the raspberry wheat beer Razzamatazz, which is a great thirst quencher on a hot day.  Winter seasonal Stark Raven is a full-bodied oatmeal stout and summer seasonal Paradise Pale is a refreshing brew designed to wash down seafood, salads and other summer fare.  The Seven Sheds Brewers Reserve range includes brews such as Whisky Willie Warmer (10.6%) which is only available in 500ml bottles.

Seven Sheds beers are available on tap at Tasmanian events throughout the year including Latrobe’s Henley on Mersey and Chocolate Winterfest, Launceston’s Festivale, Devonport’s Taste the Harvest, Sheffield’s Steamfest and Taste of the North West, Wynyard’s Bloomin’ Tulips, Deloraine’s Tasmanian Craft Fair, and Hobart’s Taste Festival, as well as the Tasmanian Association of Micro-Breweries showcase events (locations vary) and the Seven Sheds Hop Harvest (March) and Oktoberfest on-site in Railton.

Railton is a great place to stop and stretch your legs with level, easy walking. Visitors can check out the gift shops and topiary, grab a rabbit pie and wash it down with a Kentish Ale or take a stroll along the Tasmanian Trail to contemplate the edicts in Sykes Sanctuary reserve.  While touring in this area, visitors can gather up other tasty treats ranging from chocolate to smallgoods, smoked salmon to ginseng, raspberries, apples, honeys, cherries, cheese, fresh fruit and vegetables, rabbit pies and venison, pinot noir and apple brandy, whisky, jams and relish.
