With over 1 million limited-edition tinnies hitting shelves from July 18, Young Henrys invites beer enthusiasts and music lovers alike to indulge in an inner-west classic, which has grown to reside in the hearts of locals and Aussies nationwide since its release during the suburb’s sesquicentenary in 2012.

Cementing themselves as integral champions of the local music scene since pouring their first brew, Young Henrys are proud to continue their longstanding commitment to supporting the communities of the Australian music scene, beer enthusiasts and the arts. Remaining as an independent brewery and distillery throughout, Young Henrys’ partnership with SXSW Sydney further solidifies their commitment to foster Australia’s far-reaching talent pool, raising a glass to the brilliant musos that fuel Newtown’s nightlife.

“Young Henrys was born from this city and found its kin amongst the culture creators, artists, muso’s and hospitality lifers that make it great. We have always believed Sydney has the potential of a truly international city. Enter SXSW Sydney… an opportunity for our city, our industries, our people, and our ideas to be elevated to the ears, eyes and minds of an international audience, and an opportunity for a little brewery from Newtown to step forward and continue the conversation we have been having since our inception.”

Putting the SXSW Sydney mark across the can of our flagship product symbolises quite well how we feel about it all; we believe in it, we are here to be a part of it and we want everyone else to feel the same.” says Young Henrys co-founder, Oscar McMahon.
