Mazen Hajjar, Hawkers founder, started the Middle East’s first craft brewery back in July 2006 during the war between Israel and Hizbollah. By the time he left, his old company was exporting beer to 26 different countries including Australia. It was after one of his trips to Australia hawking beers in a Sydney suburb that the decision to start a brewery in Australia was made. The Hawkers name is inspired by the street vendors that roamed Australia from the early days of the colony.
