Little Creatures listing brews

The company behind Western Australia's Little Creatures boutique beer, Little World Beverages Ltd, is set to hit the boards on Thursday after being admitted to the ASX's official list today.

Started by Howard Cearns, Nic Trimboli and several others with connections to WA's 1980s brewing success story Matilda Bay, the company has won international acclaim for its beer.

The $60 million float, which will see its founders shares valued at about $30 million, has included a fresh capital injection of $12 million from gloabal brewing giant Lion Nathan which was already a signicifant shareholder.
