Description
Gweilo was founded by husband and wife Ian and Emily and their friend Joseph, who each shared a simple dream: to create fun, fresh, natural, unpasteurised beers for the people of Hong Kong and Asia to enjoy.
We originally started contract brewing our Pale Ale, IPA and Wit beers in 2015, then in June 2017, our friends at BCI, who we met whilst home brewing in Hong Kong, acquired a minority stake in Gweilo and subsequently funded and managed the building of our flagship brewery, which opened in March 2018. We have a state of the art facility with a 3500L 4-Vessel brew deck, 115000L cellar, centrifuge, rotary canning and bottling lines and a lab. Head of Brewing Operations, Brian Leslie. Supporting him is an experienced team of brewers and packaging specialists. Now things are getting serious.
We have a Core Range of six beers, a Limited Range, a Collaboration Range and in time, we’ll be introducing barrel ageing and sour programs.
Our core range is true to our British roots, formed of session style brews ranging between 4% and 6%ABV. Keeping approachability at the heart of this range, we have a Pilsner, Pale Ale, Session IPA, Hoppy Wheat, Citrus Crusher and American IPA.
Our Limited and Collaboration ranges enable us to unleash our inner beer geeks and experiment. We intend to continually push the boundaries, brewing beers which take people on a journey through the wonderful and diverse world that is craft beer.

Can @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg. Pours clear golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of hops and cotrus, with estery notes. Bitter flavour of hops and citrus, with sweetish notes of malt and yeast and some hints of wood. Bitter and estery aftertaste. OK for the style, but the woody nuances could have been avoided.

Can @ Fox @ Hounds, Sønderborg. Pours cloudy straw with stable white head. Clear aroma of hops amd yeast, with mild grassy hints. Bitter flabour of grass and hops, with malty and estery notes. Bitter and citric flavour of jops, with sweetish notes of yeast and malt, and round fruity touches. Bitter and estery aftertaste. Decent and rather well-balanced.

More an Austrian than German marzën. Sweet caramel malts, slightly reddish straw color. Feels like it’s using WC hops with lager yeast?

Bready malt nose, crisp lightly Florián honey and biscuits. Not my favorite style but a good example of it.
