It's funny where questions like this can take you. For two homesick mates in New York, their answer led them back home to Australia to start a beer company with our most iconic former Prime Minister. Today, Hawke's is an independent, Australian-owned brewery with a range of good honest beers that even your uncle who doesn't like "the fruity stuff" will enjoy. Co-founded by a bloke called Bob, who didn't mind a beer himself.
