Description
It all started in July 2013, when our founders were relaxing in their apartment in Toul Kork, Phnom Penh. In love with Phnom Penh and Cambodia, there was only one thing they missed; Great Beer! They had brewed for many years in the past, but a lust for adventure had put an unfortunate end to that. And so a plan was put in action. Returning to their home countries of America and Australia, they began building funds and putting together resources. Returning to Phnom Penh in 2015, they set to work building their dream brewery. Finally able to bring the beer they missed so much, to the country that stole their hearts.
