Boag's Brewery to Close in Tasmania | Perth News
Description
Iconic Tasmanian brewery James Boag’s, founded in 1881, is set to shut down this November amid declining sales and low production — impacting 40 workers. While parent company Lion plans to move brewing elsewhere, the state government is exploring a potential purchase of the historic site, with Premier Jeremy Rockliff calling it part of Tasmania’s heritage. Despite a union-backed campaign with 3,500+ signatures urging a sale to another brewer, the closure stands. Kirin and Lion are now collaborating with local authorities to consider future uses — including supporting small-batch Tasmanian brewers — though exact costs and plans remain undisclosed.
