Little World Beverages (LWB) is an Australian company that makes drinks and runs fun places like restaurants. It's most famous for owning the Little Creatures brewery. Even though Little Creatures started as a small, independent craft brewery, Little World Beverages is now owned by a very large company called Lion. Lion bought Little World Beverages in 2012.
The company began in November 2000. It was started by people who used to work for another brewing company. Little World Beverages became a public company in 2005, which means its shares could be bought and sold on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Making Drinks: The Breweries
Little Creatures Brewing is the part of Little World Beverages that makes the drinks. They have a main brewery in Fremantle, Western Australia. A second large brewery was built in Geelong, Victoria, and it opened in December 2013.
