Young Henrys
Young Henrys is an Australian craft beer brewery located in Newtown, New South Wales. The brewery engages in environmentally sustainable brewing practices; they crowd-funded solar panels through a collaborative project with Pingala in 2016, and partnered with the UTS Deep Green Biotech Hub and Climate Change Cluster research institute in 2018 to install microalgae bioreactors to turn the brewery's CO2 wastage into oxygen.
Young Henrys was awarded Vintage Cellars Brewery Of the Year in 2019, their Newtowner Pale Ale received 4th place in the GABS Hottest 100 Craft Beer Awards 2017-2019, and their Stayer received a Gold Award in the Australian International Beer Awards in the 2019 Reduced/Low Alcohol Category. Young Henrys has produced collaboration beers with Australian and International musicians including You Am I, Foo Fighters and Dune Rats, and was the official beer partner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2018 and 2019.[citation needed]
Young Henrys was founded in 2012 by Oscar McMahon & Richard Adamson.
Richard Adamson began as the head brewer for Sydney based Barons Brewing (now Great Southern Brewing) in 2005. After winning awards including Best in Class Trophy for their Herb and Spice Beer in the Australian International Beer Awards in 2006, and JD Wetherspoon Beer Festival UK's "Most Popular Beer" for their Black Wattle in 2008, the brewing company went into voluntary administration in June 2010. Adamson left Barons Brewing in 2010.
In 2011, McMahon and Adamson began running a monthly meeting named Beer Club at the Roxbury Hotel in Glebe. The Beer Club sessions hosted representatives from Australian and International breweries, who would showcase two beers each. The club would attract crowds of 35-60 people to each event. It was at the Beer Club events that McMahon and Adamson formed the concept of opening a brewery. The name "Young Henrys" was born during the idea development stage of the brewery. Sales director Dan Hampton quotes "Rich was daddy day care at the time looking after his son, and before one ideas meeting Oscar asked, 'Is Young Henrys coming along to the meeting?' And they wrote that down as a working title." McMahon says the name is "appropriate" as the traditional name parallels their style of recreating traditional beer styles.
In 2012, McMahon and Adamson attempted to open Young Henrys brewing Co in an empty warehouse on Devonshire Street in Surry Hills, Sydney. The warehouse at 276 Devonshire Street had previously been tenanted as a furniture shop, offices and a gym. The development application received 57 objections from a total 74 public submissions. The application was rejected by the council. Young Henrys moved the development of their brewery and brewpub to Newtown, Sydney. The brewing company proposed a development application for a warehouse at 76 Wilford Street, Newtown. The industrial complex site had been rejected for use as a yoga studio and cafe in January 2012. Adamson's application for a 90 person capacity brewpub was approved in 2012. Adamson and McMahon invested an initial $800,000 into the original set up during 2012. At the time they had eight small fermentation tanks, which was upgraded to twenty tanks in 2017.
Young Henrys expanded operations in 2014, opening a second brewery in Metricup, Western Australia. Named The Beer Farm, the 20-hectolitre brewery was built in an old dairy, and produced Young Henrys flagship beers for the Western Australian market. In July 2015, Young Henrys announced an ownership restructure for The Beer Farm, with the farm becoming a separate entity producing its own brand of beer.
Young Henrys collaborated with the Pingala Co-operative to install a 33 kW solar panel array on the roof of the brewery in August 2016. The community group Pingala was the recipient of a $44,000 grant under the City of Sydney's Environmental Performance - Innovation Grant Program, which was used in part to fund a third of the solar project. Young Henrys opened a crowd funding program to finance the rest of the project, which attracted 300 applications. Young Henrys raised $17,500 within nine minutes for the solar project, with 54 successful applicants contributing to the investment.
