William Beauchamp built a brewery in the new township of Pichi Richi located between Port Augusta and Quorn along the railway line. Mr Beauchamp hired Charles Henry Gray to be the brewer. Gray was already very famous for his beers in the northern townships having already brewed in Stirling North and Beltana. The brewery was sold in 1880 to William Taylor from Port Augusta. The brewery was damaged by a fire in 1883 and the brewery didn't re-open.		Willow Brewery Brewery ID : 5.379.001 Pichi Richi Established : 1879 Closed : 1883 Brewery
