First Brewed: December 2010

Brewer Craig back in the early 2000’s used to come back to Wagga each Christmas to see family and importantly also play in an annual Boxing Day Cricket match between mates.
As a pro-brewer at the time it was his role to supply the beer from his workplace Hunter Beer Co. Hunter Kolsch was the beer of choice and after quite a few overs down our friend Brian would decide a streak was in order! Some would say 40*c Summer’s have never been so welcome from a streakers perspective!
A few years later when Thirsty Crow was born, this is what we opened with!
