We will be in Salzburg in September and are planning our trip.
We hope to spend 1 day visiting Mirabell Castle, the Old Market Square, Feasting Hohensalzburg (and take the cable car), tour Stiegl-Brauwelt, and see Hellbrunn Castle.
Is this too over ambitious for one day?
Will walking and public transport get us to every sight?

According to Google Maps, the bus only gets you to a stop 2 km from Stiegl-Brauwent. It's a 24 minute walk from there.
However, Salzburg Verkehr says Obus 1 will take you to a stop on Bräuhausstr, about 150 yds from the Brauwelt.
According to Salzburg Verkehr, Stadtbus 25 will take you right to Hellbrunn.
I think the tour is ambitious, but if you start early enough, and don't spend too much time in any one place, possible. I did Mirabell Palace (outside), the Market Square, Hohensalzburg, and Nonnenberg Abbey in about half a day, all on foot, starting and ending at the Hbf.

Salzburg is pretty much a compact walking city, and you can see most sights in one long day.
After such a hard day, you need to head for the St. Augustiner beer hall to relax a little. It's a very popular place.

I agree with David, and might suggest the Augustiner Bräustübl instead of the schlepp to Stiegl. The beer and setting is wonderful.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think we should definitely check out the Augustiner beer hall while there.

Definitely go to the Stiegl Brewery! The tour is self-directed and you get a ticket for 3 beers in their restaurant. The bus stop is very close to the Brewery (went there in 2013). It was very easy to get to.
