Pub
in a Paddock
Ever seen a pig with a drinking problem? No, we don't mean your best mate,
but rather the kind that gets turned into bacon. If not, meet Slops, a
resident of the little valley of Pyengana in the North East of Tassie.

Commercial
Hotel
Are you one of those people who curse the 'bloody greenies'
for stopping a commercial venture? Well, once you check out Queenstown,
you'll see what they are on about.

Union
Hotel
According
to the Boags Brewery, arm wrestling used to be quite a popular past time
in pubs 100 years ago. Well, no one bothered to tell the residents of
Stanley that the 100 years has passed.

Tiger
Bar
Ever seen a Tasmanian Tiger? Well, we managed to catch up
with a Tasmanian Wild Man seeking refuge in the Tiger Bar who thought that
he had two as pets.

Man-o-Ross
The Man-o-Ross
Hotel has been serving beers to thirsty travellers between Launceston and
Hobart since 1835. The pub is
in the centre of the town, which they say caters for all of man's needs with the
pub, court, jail and townhall on each of the corners of the intersection.
Thankfully, we were only in need of one service, and the Man-o-Ross
provided it.

Cascade
Bar
Does
anyone drink Cascade in this great state? Apparently so, and the best way
to seek out these drinkers is to head straight for the heartland: Hobart.
