Hamish's Singapore junket

There may be no spitting, no chewing gum, no graffiti and no crime, but Singapore has plenty of good beer!! With 7 microbreweries and more on the way, Hamish was only too happy to pay a visit in the name of selfless research! We experienced Irish Red Ales on the Singapore River, Indian Pale Ales in Clarkey Quay, Czech Pilsner's in Dempsey Hill and a seedy night in Little India...but that's another story!

HBC Pale Ale: Beer of the Month @ Vaucluse Hotel

Head on down to Beretta's at the Vaucluse Hotel in Richmond where you'll find our Hawthorn Pale Ale posters all around the place promoting the "Beer of the month" for July.
A great place for both pre and post football drinks as well as enjoying a meal, with of course a Hawthorn Pale - it's perfect with their Nasi Goreng!

Another Medal !!

Following the success at the Australian International Beer Awards, Hawthorn Brewing Co. has picked up a Bronze Medal for our Amber Ale at the International Beer Challenge, held in London last week. We are incredibly proud of this recognition given the depth of entrants to these awards.

Vegas Research Session

Pete was recently in LA and Vegas on a "research" mission. SKYBAR and Bar Marmont were frequented on a whirlwind tour prior to the road trip to Vegas. Whilst it was no "Fear and Loathing", we did stop at a couple of "roadhouses" to sample their brew. It's great to see so many independent brew pubs along the I-15.

Whilst Vegas itself was very light on for decent craft beer, I was able to find a few bars serving something other than Bud Light....oh and the pool party at Palms is a must !!! Little Chapel of Love didn't disappoint, and "the king" was intrigued by our sample bottle of Pale Ale. All in all, a great place for research.

International Beer Challenge 2010

Hot on the heels of our success at the Australian International Beer Awards, we have entered both our Premium Pale Ale and Amber Ale into the International Beer Challenge. This is the largest packaged beer event in the world and was held in London last week. Judging took place over 2 days at the White Horse Pub at Parson's Green. For those Antipodeans' in London, I'm sure you'll agree this is a great spot to drink beer...and a fitting host for this event (especially if the sun was shining).

Results are out next week so stay tuned...

BTW, one of our Flavour Crew, Stuart "the Colonel" Dare, has managed to get his hands on some leftover brew from the judging. Enjoy Stu, and let us know what you think.
