I’m the Hawkers West Coast IPA — loud, brash, and totally unapologetic. Subtlety? Not in my vocabulary. I’m all about boldness, brewed Melbourne-side but inspired by the audacious, unruly West Coast style that started it all.
Southern Cross, Simcoe, Mosaic, and Krush hops give me punchy floral aromas, while layers of citrus, pine, and sticky resin crash across your palate. My bitterness doesn’t whisper; it roars, balanced by a clean malt backbone that lets the hops take centre stage where they belong.
Proudly tested and proven gluten reduced (<10ppm thanks to the Brewers Clarex™ enzyme), I’m as inclusive as I am intense. Vegan friendly, fiercely hoppy, and unashamedly bold — I’m the IPA for those who like their beer with bite.

Born from adversity, Hawkers Brewery emerged from the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War. Relocated to Australia in 2015, it's inspired by the energy of Sydney's street vendors. Today, Hawkers is a leading independent brewery in Melbourne, renowned for its bold flavors and community-driven ethos. A testament to its popularity, Hawkers clinched the 'People's Choice Best Beer' award at the Great Australian Beer Festival.
Hawkers was once known as the Middle East's first craft brewery!
