Cascade Appoints New Head Brewer
Monday, February 14th, 2011Cascade Brewery Co has appointed 
as its new Head Brewer following on from Max Burslem’s transition to the newly created role of Transformation Manager.
With more than 20 years brewing experience in English breweries in Berkshire and Manchester, Mike started his career in a small brewery working on the development of craft style beers.
On his appointment at Cascade, Mike said he is delighted to take on the task of Head Brewer and is already feeling at home in Tasmania.
“Cascade is an incredible brewery and site, with a strong tradition and heritage in brewing. Cascade’s founder Peter Degraves chose this site for brewing in 1824 for the quality of its water and the brewery continues to benefit from his foresight.”
“Cascade is unique amongst Australian breweries in that it continues to malt barley for brewing in its own maltings and it continues to focus on traditional brewing methods. This combination results in high quality beers which are valued and enjoyed by beer lovers. I’m amazed by the innovative ideas and new products developed by the Cascade team. Our relationships and support for Tasmanian farmers and growers ensure the highest quality ingredients are used for our beers.”
Mike said he was looking forward to working with Cascade’s former Head Brewer Max Burslem and the Cascade team over the coming months to ensure Cascade continues its rich tradition of brewing beers enjoyed by beer fans around Australia.
Cascade Brewery Co is Australia’s oldest brewery and is renowned for using Tasmania’s high quality barley and hops together with the pure mountain waters of Mount Wellington to brew its range of acclaimed beers.
