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.

Amber colour, just a touch of haze. On the nose it has some orangey notes, marmaladey, and sort of chewy. On the palate it's a chewy, not very bitter beer, with an orangey note.

330mL can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp and cerealy, with piney hops, cereal notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Grainy, cerealy, with a dry finish. Clean, but nothing special.

341mL can, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very dry and potato-y, with biscuity malt and earthy notes. Flavour brings out bright citrus, crisp biscuity malt, and some spicy grassy notes. Crisp and bright, with almost no residual sweetness. It's alright.

Tasting at Matt's, can
Cloudy blond colour. Guava smell, seems a bit like kitchen and BO. Lean body, light residual sweetness, very light acidity, it's very fruity, the passion fruit seems more evident in the beginning.
Nice, very fruity.
