From the record

Summary

Collingwood IPA specialists, conceived in 2015 and shipping from May 2016. Contemporary trade coverage describes Fixation as a joint venture between the Stone & Wood Group and Tom Delmont, so it was neither an independent brewery nor a wholly owned offshoot. It came into the Lion group in 2021 when Lion acquired its parent, Fermentum Pty Ltd.
