The iconic brewery will mark its return tomorrow in line with strict distancing restrictions before opening under the more relaxed Phase 4 rules by the weekend.

Operations manager Mark Pearn said brewers had been busy despite the pandemic shutdown to make sure it was ready with its famous beers in time for tomorrow.

“Everyone here at Little Creatures is very excited to welcome locals and visitors alike back to the brewery,” he said.

“We know times have been tough for many and that’s why dinner is on us on Friday,” Mr Pearn said.
