This exhibition closed on Sunday 17 November 2002.

Brewing and pubs recreated the age of Tooth & Co, once Sydney's largest brewer. Visitors were able to see how a cooper made casks and find out how technology has changed work in a brewery. Compare the glamorous images promoted by pub paintings with the attitudes of the temperance movement and discover how to brew a beer on a computer interactive.

Brewing and pubs had two major themes. They show:

what is was like to work at the Kent and Waverley breweries
some of the ways Tooth’s and Resch’s products were advertised and sold.

Most of the objects and images used in
Brewing and pubs were donated by Tooth & Co. Brewing families.
