Hahn Brewery is a brewery that was established by Dr Charles Hahn in 1988[1] at an old factory site in the suburb of Camperdown in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

It was originally a brewer of premium beers, including Hahn Premium and Hahn Premium Light. The 1991 recession resulted in reduced demand, and forced a rethink of this policy.[1] A more mainstream 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 Super Dry Full Strength. ALC/VOL 4.6%. 375mL can

In 1993 the brewery was purchased by Australia's second largest brewer Lion[2] 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 the Tooheys brewery in Auburn. The Camperdown brewery itself was renamed to the Malt 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 the Malt Shovel Brewery.
