LITTLE CREATURES is celebrating ten years of brewing at its Geelong home with a special beer that will be a toast to all the “fantastic beers that have come before it”.

Last Friday, the Geelong team commemorated the milestone with the launch of their 10 Week Pilsner, a single malt brewed with high quality malting barley and fermented cold and slow in a tank for ten weeks.

Geelong Brewing Director Steve Levien said it was great to be celebrating ten years of some of Australia’s most loved beers being brewed right here in Geelong.

“Victoria – and more specifically Geelong – was a natural choice for the first major Little Creatures brewing operation outside its home state of WA, and since 2013, the local community has welcomed us with open arms.

“Over the last 10 years we have been cemented our place as one of the key industries in the town.

“Today we produce over 21 million litres of beer annually in kegs bottles and cans – and we’ve produced over 100 million litres since we started.”

Staff members came together last Friday at the brewery to celebrate the milestone.

Focusing on minute details and honouring the age-old craft of traditional Lager brewing, Mr Levien said the new 10 Week Pilsner was bound to be a favourite.

“Our limited run Pilsner is slightly floral & earthy with some herbal & piney characters. “This beer has a complex aroma and a clean, crisp palate that’s slightly toffee sweet with a bread like softness,” Steve Levien said.

“[Its] our way of honouring our incredible decade in Geelong.

“We can’t wait for locals to come down and enjoy a pint.

“Here’s to ten more!”
