Brewery Tours at Little Creatures.
One shared belief when Little Creatures was just a twinkle in our eyes was that breweries over the years have hardly been the most romantic of places. Hidden behind big brick walls and imposing gates, very little was visible to the passing community. It is our ambition to change all that, to become an open and transparent Brewery that welcomes all walks of life to experience the wonder of brewing. Come on down, say hi and explore our little piece of brewing happiness with Little Creatures Brewery Tours.
Want to learn about all things brewing along with the Little Creatures story? Brewery Tours with one of our resident hop heads include learning about all the great ingredients we use and the brewing process, along with a guided tasting of all of our beers and ciders. To join the Brewery Tour, head-on into the Brewhouse (located directly inside our brewery) just before we start and sign up.
See our website – https://littlecreatures.com.au/fremantle-tour/ for times and to book ahead.
Cost: $25 pp including a guided tasting of beer. Must be 18yo to join a brewery tour. The Brewhouse is also the place to grab some crafty gear and pick up a six-pack of your favourite beer. There’s a great outdoor area and since we welcome all walks of life, feel free to bring your pooch down too.
Take home a genuine Fremantle souvenir! A new t-shirt from Hangdog Art lets you cover off two WA icons at once in the souvenir-shopping stakes. It references the iconic Dingo Flour logo, with its red dingo that looms large on a silo in North Fremantle (and made the local news when it was freshly painted in December 2016). In lieu of a dingo, however, the t-shirt sports a red dog, and the words ‘Dog Beach, Freo’ – celebrating a coastal idyll that is intrinsically ‘Fremantle’ with its eclectic community of dog lovers.
The t-shirt is turning out to be the must-have accessory for Freo locals in the summer of 2016-17! It’s designed by Fremantle creative business, Hangdog, and is available online in a variety of styles and colours. Follow the TEES link on the Hangdog home page: www.hangdogart.com.au
You might also like to join in the fun of #hangdoginthewild on social media, for which people are encouraged to share pictures of themselves in their Hangdog t-shirt in far-flung settings across the globe. Just add the #hangdoginthewild hashtag to your pics.

The Fishing Boat Harbour in Fremantle is WA’s largest working port and is home to over 400 fishing boats. The harbour was built in 1919 when a 300 metre breakwater was constructed to provide an anchorage for fishing vessels.
Many of the fishing enterprises housed at the Fishing Boat Harbour are descended from the Italian towns of Molfetta on the Adriatic Sea, and Capo d’Orlando in Sicily, and many families of the original fisherman still fish out of Fremantle today. It was actually a small fishing industry until it was subject to worldwide focus following Australia II winning the Americas Cup, which resulted in major development over a very short period of time.
The Fishing Boat Harbour today is still a very busy working port, and is home to over a dozen restaurants, many serving traditional fish and chips, the Shipwreck Museum, a fresh fish market, accommodation and a brewery. Shop for freshly caught seafood, soak up the ambiance and watch the fishing boats come and go while enjoying the world’s finest fresh fish. An experience not to be missed during your visit to WA.
