Boag's Brewery Closes After 145 Years

Boag’s Brewery, Tasmania’s oldest and most storied brewer since 1881, is shutting down its Launceston production by November — a heartbreaking end for workers who’ve spent decades sharing ghost tales, drunk rat legends, and whistle-breaks in a place that felt like family. While beer won’t vanish, the iconic site’s future hangs in the balance as Lion Australia seeks new uses — maybe health drinks — while honoring the 42 employees losing their jobs. This isn’t just a brewery closing; it’s a chapter of Launceston’s soul going quiet.
