Australian brewing veteran Chuck Hahn has unveiled a new independent beer brand \u2013 Daughter \u2013 developed in collaboration with his daughter-in-law and co-founder of Chuck & Son\u2019s Brewing Co, Amy Malpass Hahn.<\/strong><\/p>\n Brewed in Sydney, Daughter is positioned as a family-owned, fully independent beer brand that focuses on fruit-infused brews, designed to recruit a whole new wave of drinkers to the beer category. The launch marks a major milestone for Hahn, whose brewing career spans more than five decades.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter fifty years in brewing, I\u2019ve seen the industry evolve in remarkable ways. But one thing that hasn\u2019t changed enough is who beer is made for,\u201d says Hahn. \u201cDaughter is brewed with the same devotion to flavour and quality that has defined my career, but it\u2019s designed through an entirely new lens. It opens the door for people who\u2019ve never quite found their place in beer, while exciting those who thought they\u2019d seen it all.\u201d<\/p>\n Daughter will launch exclusively online from Monday 1 December, debuting with Passionfruit, a crisp, fruit-forward and low-carb beer. Packaged at 4.2 per cent ABV, Daughter Passionfruit offers tropical brightness and a clean, sessionable finish.<\/p>\n As the beer category expands in line with demand for more mindful options, Daughter intends to cater to a new audience entirely and expand the definition of beer itself. Not a seltzer or a shandy, it\u2019s described as \u201creal beer, brewed differently for those who value flavour, design and experience as much as refreshment\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cInnovation in beer doesn\u2019t have to mean higher ABV or more hops,\u201d says Malpass Hahn. \u201cIt can mean reimagining beer for the way people actually drink \u2013 and engage with brands \u2013 today. There\u2019s enormous potential in creating beers people didn\u2019t know they\u2019d love. Beers that are refreshing, refined, and made with the expertise only Chuck can bring.\u201d<\/p>\n Hahn added: \u201cThis is about legacy evolving. Beer is at a crossroads. For decades it\u2019s been made for and marketed to a narrow idea of who a beer drinker is. Daughter shows that when you combine brewing mastery with a modern perspective, you can open the category to entirely new audiences, without losing the soul of what beer is.<\/p>\n \u201cMy career has always been about building beers people love. But this one\u2019s different. It\u2019s not just another great beer; it\u2019s a shift in mindset. Daughter proves beer still has room to surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n With Daughter Passionfruit rolling out via www.daughterbrews.com.au<\/a> from Monday, two further variations \u2013 Lychee and Watermelon \u2013 are set to follow in early 2026, brewed with the same standards and 100 per cent natural ingredients. Daughter is also expected to reach select bottle shops from mid-2026.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
