Hahn Brewery
NSW Beer brewing company
Hahn Brewery is a brewery that was established by Dr Charles Hahn in 1988[1] at an old factory site in the suburb of Camperdown in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
It was originally a brewer of premium beers, including Hahn Premium and Hahn Premium Light. The 1991 recession resulted in reduced demand, and forced a rethink of this policy.[1] A more mainstream beer called Sydney Bitter was produced, with reasonable success. It has launched two new beers since then: Hahn Super Dry in 2006 and Hahn Super Dry 3.5 in 2009.
In 1993 the brewery was purchased by Australia's second largest brewer Lion[2] Hahn was appointed as the Chief Brewer of Lion Co which, at the time, operated eight breweries in Australia and New Zealand and two in China.[1] Production of Hahn beers was moved to the Tooheys brewery in Auburn. The Camperdown brewery itself was renamed to the Malt Shovel Brewery[3] in honour of the 1st fleet convict turned Australia's first brewer, James Squire. To this day, Hahn still plays a key role in brewing the craft beers at the Malt Shovel Brewery.
In 2012, Hahn sponsored the beer television series The Beer Factor, which aired on 9Go! and the Nine Network.[4]
