UK and Europe
Lion Little World Beverages is increasingly active in the UK and Europe
Our London-based microbrewery, Little Creatures Regent’s Canal, showcases our credentials, not just for our Aussie expats, but also as a new hospitality experience for local British drinkers.
We have also invested in like-minded local craft brands Magic Rock Brewing and Fourpure Brewing Co, both of which share our promise to make great beer, on a bigger scale. And we’re constantly searching for craft pioneers who have a passion for brewing the best and who share our values and customer-focused mindset.
About Fourpure Brewing Co
In just a few years, Fourpure has grown to become one of London’s leading modern craft brewers. Founded in 2013 by brothers Daniel and Thomas Lowe, Fourpure employs 135 people and its brewery and hospitality venue is part of the renowned ‘Bermondsey Beer Mile’ craft brewing hub in South East London. With high aspirations for quality and sustainability, Fourpure is known for its approachable styles and flagship beers like its World Beer Cup medal-winning Pils Lager and popular Session IPA.
About Magic Rock Brewing
Inspired by local brewing traditions and the U.S. craft beer scene, Magic Rock has become one of the UK’s leading craft brewers since it was founded by Richard Burhouse in 2011. With a relentless pursuit of authenticity and quality, it produces an ever-changing line up of idiosyncratic beers alongside a distinctive core range that is enjoyed all over the UK and exported to more than 25 countries. Magic Rock employs 45 people locally with plans to expand the team as the brand grows. Magic Rock was voted second best new brewery in the world in 2012 in RateBeer.com’s Top New Breweries awards and has since been voted five times as a top 100 world brewer. With the support of Lion Little World Beverages, Magic Rock is on a quest to build its legacy over the long term with growth in pubs and supermarkets in the domestic market as well as outside the UK.
