Olof Hilmer Hedberg

Olaf Junior was a brewer. He started work at Cascade Brewery as a youth and by 1879 had reached the position of head brewer. Then shortly before the death of John Degraves he became a collector of beer duty for Tasmania and was later head brewer for George Adams Tasmanian Brewery. As commissioner of beer tax, he recommended redefining beer to include only beverages above 2% alcohol, thus excluding dandelion ale and similar ‘light’ drinks. He retired in 1904 to grow hops at Bryn Estyn, New Norfolk, close to where his father was buried. Today a product called Hedberg Wheat Beer is brewed on the original site of Adams Brewery by Captain Bligh’s Ale and Cider using Midlands’ barley malt, hops from Bushy Park and some of the softest, cleanest water in the world.

While the new brewery was under construction, brewing recommenced in the old brewery formerly used by Henry James. The head brewer was Olaf Hilmer Hedberg, while his son, Eric Hedberg (born 1880), was placed in charge of the malting department.
