Hahn Brewery was established by Dr Charles Hahn in 1988[1] at an old factory site in the suburb ofCamperdown inSydney,New South Wales,Australia. Originally focussing onpale 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 brewerLion[2] in 1993.[1] A lower cost 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.
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 theTooheys brewery inAuburn. The Camperdown brewery itself was renamed to theMalt 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 theMalt Shovel Brewery.
In 2012, Hahn sponsored the beer television seriesThe Beer Factor, which aired on9Go! and theNine Network.[4]
