Gweilo Beer owns 1 brewery:
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.

Shot glass showing pale straw with a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of passion fruit and light pineapple. The palate is medium bodied and lightly carbonated with a surprisingly soft mouthfeel. Passion fruit forward with light notes of pineapple and citrus and a light citrus bitterness on the finish.

330ml can on Cathay Pacific Flight from Manchester to Hong Kong 21st December 2019. Orange gold colour, white foamy head and aroma of citrusy hops. Taste is malty, grain, sweetish, with tangy fruity citric bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Gweilo x Culmination Fruitburst 5.8% 15 IBU Mellow brassy gold in color with a wispy head and deep tropical flavor. The taste is lightly tart guava. Fantastic, if you like guava juice you’ll love this tart fruity dipper though it is more cocktail than beer like. I kind of wish I had this in a tiki glass with a little umbrella...

Tastes kinda like a fax of what it should be. Then again, it is a bit old.

Can from Brewcraft at home. Thanks for the sample! Medium hazy pale golden yellow pour. Aroma is fruity sweet and sour, passionfruit is strong. Taste is tart and dry, with a medium bitterness and strong passionfruit flavor. Pretty light frothy palate, but in a good way. Very drinkable. Great use of passionfruit with balanced sour and bitter flavors. Would definitely get again.

Unusual blend of hops, which works in its f(l)avor. Juicy, including the elusive gooseberry.

Quite nice little hazy punch in the tongue. A bit too much bitter orange peel, but that’s decently balanced with the lactose. Mikkeller, yeh
