As you step into the mystical realm of the Hawkers Imperial IPA, you'll be instantly transported to a world where the aroma of hops and the crackling of brewing vats fill the air. The air is heavy with the scent of pine and resin, and the amber-golden hue of my brew shimmers like liquid gold...
Come, drink my nectar that's filled with the hypnotic notes of Simcoe, Mosaic, Motueka, Citra, and Southern Cross hops. The first sip should unleash a wave of intense hoppy bitterness that spreads across your palate, followed by a full and lush body that's surprisingly smooth for a mighty beer like I am.
But be warned, my power is not to be taken lightly. At a staggering 9.0% ABV, you find yourself savoring each sip, and my dangerous drinkability will beckon you to take one after another. You know that you're experiencing something truly special here, and you'll vow to savor every last drop of my divine elixir.

Hawkers was founded by Mazen Hajjar during the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War. The craft brewery was later relaunched in Australia, 2015, when Mazen visited Sydney and was inspired by the street vendors hawking the streets back in the days of the colony. Mazen and his team also went door to door promoting their beer samples in the bustling streets of Sydney. Today, Hawkers is recognised as one of Melbourne's largest independent breweries and the "People's Choice Best Beer" title holder at the Great Australian Beer Festival!
