At Hawkers Beer, we're passionate about crafting exceptional beers that not only tantalise taste buds but also stand the test of time. That's why we're incredibly proud to announce that our Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine has been awarded the prestigious Consistency of Excellence award at the recent Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA's).
This remarkable achievement celebrates four consecutive years (2021-2024) of our Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine securing a coveted gold medal. It's a testament to the dedication and expertise of our brewing team, who have consistently delivered a beer of unparalleled quality and complexity.
A Behemoth Awakened
Our Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine (2023) is a true force to be reckoned with. After a long slumber in bourbon barrels, it emerges as a liquid masterpiece. Each sip is a revelation, bursting with notes of vanilla and toffee that dance across a rich, viscous malt profile. It's a beer built for savouring, with a depth of flavour that begs to be explored.
A Gift for Today and Tomorrow
The beauty of this barleywine lies not just in its immediate enjoyment, but also in its remarkable cellaring potential. As it ages, the flavours further meld and evolve, creating an even more profound drinking experience. So, whether you choose to indulge now or tuck a tin away for a special occasion, know that you're in for a treat.
Celebrating Consistency
The Consistency of Excellence award is a source of immense pride for the entire Hawkers Beer team. It signifies our unwavering commitment to quality and our relentless pursuit of brewing excellence. We're grateful to the AIBA's for this recognition, and even more grateful to our loyal customers who continue to support us on this journey.
