Save Boags

Keep your XXXX off our Boags!

You can’t put a Boags label on a Queensland-made beer and call it Boags.

Keep Boags Tasmanian

TO: LION

We, the undersigned, call on LION to stop the closure of the Boags Brewery in Launceston and keep brewing in Tasmania.

Boags is built and brewed in Tasmania by Tasmanian workers. Now, those same workers are being sidelined while production is pushed interstate.

We reject the relocation of production interstate and the stripping of a Tasmanian icon from its home.

If LION no longer wants to brew Boags in Tasmania, it must sell the brewery and brand to someone who does.

Boags stays Tasmanian.
