Young Henrys
Young Henrys started in 2012, when Oscar McMahon and Richard Adamson set up a small brewery behind a roller door in the backstreets of Newtown, Sydney, after the local council knocked back their first site in Surry Hills. The flagship Newtowner was brewed as a gift for the 150th birthday of the 2042 postcode. The brewery is still independent and Australian-owned, runs a 33 kW solar array and algae bioreactors developed with UTS to capture its own carbon dioxide, and holds B Corp certification. The Wilford Street site combines production, a bar and weekend tours.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
Stayer
Their beers place in the Top 60% of the catalogue on average, across 10 ranked beers. One clear standout well ahead of the rest.
