Hawke’s is a 100% independent, Australian-owned craft beer company, co-founded by David Gibson and Nathan Lennon, alongside former Australian Prime Minister, Bob Hawke.
Based in Marrickville, Sydney, Hawke's world-class, sustainability-focused brewery is powered entirely by its 100kw rooftop solar farm, while its closed-loop, carbon capture system, created in partnership with UTS Tech, uses CO2 from the fermentation process to hydroponically grow produce for use in the adjoining Australian-Chinese bistro, which forms part of The Bob Hawke Beer & Leisure Centre – a 300-pax hospitality venue with a full bar pouring 10 taps of Hawke's tank-fresh brews, including:
Hawke's Lager (2018 AIBA trophy)
Hawkes' Patio Pale (2022 AIBA Gold Medal)
Hawke's Underdog Session Lager (2023 AIBA Gold Medal)
Hawke's Half XPA (2023 Indies Gold Medal)
Every sale of Hawke’s beer helps the company give back to its environmental charity partner, Landcare Australia, to which Bob left 100% of his royalties. To date, over $450,000 has been raised in support of environmental projects around the country.
