Charles “Chuck” Hahn has an old business card with the title Brewmaster. After that, he’s handwritten a comma and scrawled “retired”. This is not true – or at least, not any more.
“Dad is an industry legend, having brewed for over 53 years,” Scott says. “He was never going to stop. The passion is still there.” Nowadays, anyone who has ever tried a Hahn, James Squire, Kosciuszko, Malt Shovel, Eumundi or Lord Howe Island-branded beer has directly sampled Chuck’s handiwork. He is regularly described as the godfather of Australian beer. “You know you made it in Australia when you see your name in the gutter,” he laughs.
Chuck & Son’s will start with four foundation styles: an American Amber, an Original Pilsener, a Two-World Pale Ale and a Radler . The pale ale includes Galaxy and Ella hops from Australia, and Citra and Mosaic hops from the US – hence, two worlds. “So when you make a low-carb, low-calorie beer, you’re bringing both those parameters down. And the trick is to be able to deliver on flavour because alcohol is always a flavour enhancer. That’s why it’s so tricky to make a really good-tasting 3.5 alcohol craft beer.”Chuck and Scott do not say whether the plan is, once again, for Chuck & Son’s to be acquired by Lion.
