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.

A lightly hazed golden ipa with a thin white head, gushed. In mouth, light caramel malt with light mineral notes, light grassy hops, so-so. In mouth, a rather strange mix of grainy malt with light acidity, light grassy hops, light mineral notes, so-so. Tasted with GRM and Omhper, March 2017.

(On tap) Clear Amber with slight white head. Lovely aroma of pine and tropical fruits. Medium body with excellent mouth filling carbonation. Taste is a beautiful balance if malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness. The sweetness has caramel and candy notes. Maybe some mango hints. Nice bitter finish. Excellent beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from Brewcraft at home. Aroma is nicely hoppy - pine. Taste is surprisingly big for such a low ABV. Impressive. Pine and some subtle tropical fruit hops. Good. Bready malt backbone that again is bigger than expected, a bit too big maybe. Not a bad first beer at all from Gweilo. Would get again.
