About Welcome Swallow Brewery

Housed in a converted factory shed, this New Norfolk warehouse hides a sprawling indoor beer garden draped in lush greenhouse foliage. Hobart day-trippers and valley regulars settle into vintage velvet couches and clustered tables for tasting paddles pulled from eight rotating taps. Pouring everything from balanced ambers and punchy sours to seasonal wet-hop ales honoring the valley’s hop-growing roots, the brewing stays grounded. Outside in the courtyard, the visiting Swallow’s Kitchen food van serves beef and mushroom burgers beside hot, crisp chips, while friendly bartenders don't mind if you order delivery pizza straight to your table when the truck is away. Between rounds of ping pong and card games, regulars even pick up plant cuttings to take home.

  • Rotating Craft Taps: Eight rotating taps pour balanced ambers, sours, and seasonal wet-hop ales on tasting paddles alongside local wines and non-alcoholic options.
  • Industrial-Chic Jungle: A repurposed factory shed filled with cascading foliage, vintage couches, and grand tables creates a leafy, greenhouse-like beer garden.
  • Food Trucks & Relaxed BYO: Rotating courtyard food vans dishing out hearty burgers and chips are paired with a welcoming policy allowing outside delivery when the truck is off.

  • Accommodating Outside Dining and Delivery Option

    Whenever the on-site food truck is off-duty, the brewery welcomes guests to order outside delivery or pizza right to their table.

    There was no food truck open when we were there but it was OK to get food delivered so we could continue enjoying their beers.
