Singapore wrap from Beerfest Asia

Beerfest Asia '11 saw the debut of Hawthorn Brewing Co, and our beers were flowing over the 4 days of Singapore's version of Oktoberfest. Plenty of beers from all over Asia and beyond were on hand in either the blues or the rock 'n roll marquees. We had a great time, well the times we could remember, and as a result you can find our Pale Ale at a number of venues on the Island. Check out our stockists lists for more details.

Hawthorn hop harvest coming

With what may be the only inner-city hop farm in Melbourne, Hamish has used his horticulture qualifications and turned his Hawthorn backyard into a hop jungle of Cascade and Fuggles vines. While this may have had the neighbours scratching their heads, the good news is we've been able to harvest enough fresh hop flowers to produce a Special Release Hop Harvest batch of our Pale Ale. Exciting stuff!!

This limited release batch will be available in late April. Keep an eye out for the tell tale stickers on the 6 packs.
