Geelong is the newest addition to the growing Little Creatures beer em-
pire. Within an old red-brick wool mill and kitted out in an industrial warehouse feel, this
is a cracking place to sample its brews with a thin-crust pizza (from $17). Tours of the
brewery operate a few times a day and include free tastings. Kids will love the sandboxes
and room to run around.
