Launceston’s popular Boag’s visitor centre and brewery tours will shut down at the end of the month, in what has been described as a “significant blow” to the city’s visitor economy.
Mayor Danny Gibson has expressed disappointment at the announcement by brewery owner Lion, which is due to ongoing challenges arising from the pandemic.
Mayor Gibson said the brewery experience ranked as one of Launceston’s top three most popular activities, and he will be seeking a meeting to explore any opportunities to re-consider the closure in the future.
