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.

440ml can in the Wrekin Inn, Wellington Shropshire on 20th September 2022. Not really my sort of thing, sour fruits in a cloudy dull orange body, tart raspberry front.

Aromas of pine, citrus, apple and mango. A very crisp, clear flavour with a nice body but the alcohol is just a bit too much.

Third, beer flight at Brew York in Leeds. Patchy white head, hazy amber body, full lacing. Promising aromas of grainy malts and citrus. Rather fresh taste of grapefruit, bread-like malts beneath. Fair fruity bitterness to the ending. Soft mouthfeel. Pretty good. (Rating no. 21900) (Leeds 06.07.2022).

Australian version brewed at Rocky Ridge. Can. Hazy yellowish orange with a cm of white head. Aroma of pineapple, passionfruit, some wintery oranges, chewed crackers. Taste is fruity but only moderately sweet. Slight chalky mouthfeel. Low bitterness but it's dry enough at the end to be refreshing. Is this an IPA in any sense? I dunno but it's a pleasant quaffer.

Can, Milkhead. Brewed somewhere in Australia but I can't read the white text on the yellow background that looks — by remarkable coincidence — just like a jar of of Vegemite. Very dark brown with a quickly fading tan head. Aroma of strongish roasted malt, chocolate, Vegemite. Bittersweet, roasty, umami, salty. Chocolate yes, brownie not so much. There's a fashion for upping the salt content of desserts to where it's a feature, and this does just that. Not bad at all.
