LIQUOR giant Lion will spend $50,000 relocating its White Rabbit brewery from Healesville to the company’s Little Creatures site in South Geelong, according to planning documents.
Ten jobs would flow from the new brewery, which the planning application said would help fill rising demand.
“When operating on the same Geelong site as the Little Creatures Brewery, White Rabbit Brewery will add to the brewery village experience,” the application said.
“There will be barrel fermenting, souring and developing of beer styles, using a range of new and old wine and spirit barrels, something we have not yet seen on a large commercial scale in Australia.
“The new White Rabbit Brewery will enhance and extend the craft beer village atmosphere of the Swanston St site while driving additional tourism and visitor numbers to Geelong.”
