Hahn Brewery

NSW Beer brewing company

Hahn Brewery was established by Dr Charles Hahn in 1988 at an old factory site in the suburb of Camperdown in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Originally focussing on pale lagers, such as Hahn Premium and Hahn Premium Light, targeted at the mid-price sector of the market, the 1991-93 recession resulted in reduced demand, and led to the brewery being purchased by Australia's second largest brewer Lion in 1993. A lower cost beer called Sydney Bitter was produced, with reasonable success.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
