🎉 GIVEAWAY | It has been a busy few months for new Chamber Member Hawkesbury Brewing Co 🍻 The Central Coast based brewer, beverage manufacturer and distributor recently launched Wrexham Lager into the Australian market in an exclusive deal brokered with Dan Murphy's which sees the Welsh beer brand distributed in all Dan Murphy’s stores across Australia. The Welsh beer brand is owned by Hollywood legends Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney who brought Wrexham Football Club to international audiences through their successful Disney+ series ‘Welcome to Wrexham’. The Wrexham Lager media campaign kicked off this month across Australia, with ad campaigns running across social media, digital display and Out Of Home. Paul Weaving, Business Development Director of Hawkesbury Brewing Co said “Wrexham Lager was first available in Australia in 1884 so we are delighted to be bringing it back to Australia under its new owners Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney. Good things take time—140 years to be exact—but we reckon it was worth the wait.” 🍺 To mark the occasion, the team at Hawkesbury Brewing Co will give a free case of Wrexham Lager to 3 lucky 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀* who spot a Wrexham Lager ad online or outdoors and post on their LinkedIn account tagging Hawkesbury Brewing Co, Wrexham Lager, and Australian British Chamber of Commerce!   *Winners to be drawn at random on Monday 6 January. Delivery to Metro Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne. Paul Weaving Joanna Lynsky-Smith Paul Wright Olivia Scullard #giveaway #wrexhamlager #danmurphys #ryanreynolds #RobMcElhenney
