Hawkers Right on schedule

TASTING NOTES

We are in the midst of the haze craze which has put us into a bit of a daze. Is this just a phase or is it here to stayz? Nowadays, our gaze is fixed on getting through the weekdays so we can hit the Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with another one of our delicious double hazy IPA’s, this time, without the delays.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Founded back in 2014, and launched in February 2015, the company has its roots much earlier. Mazen Hajjar, their founder, started the Middle East’s first craft brewery back during the July 2006 war between Israel and Hizbollah. By the time he left, his old company was exporting beer to 26 different countries including Australia. After one of his trips to Australia and while hawking beers in a Sydney suburb, the decision to start a brewery in Australia was made.

DID YOU KNOW?

The name Hawkers is inspired from the street vendors, that roamed Australia from the early days of the colony. Many early immigrants were hawkers as they needed little capital and skill to push a cart and earn a living. Their activities were critical for the health of many regional economies and they helped spread the colony further.
