Little Creatures Brewing, Fremantle
Titled as one of the best breweries in WA, the original Little Creatures Brewery on the west coast in Fremantle was established in 1999, and a small move in 2005 led them to be positioned in their current brewery.

The Little Creatures Brewery team has since changed the traditional brewery style and created an open and welcoming place to see how a beer is really made, with brilliant tours and a gorgeous venue to eat and drink.
