Meet Hugh ‘Hughie’ Doyle, one of the OGs of Stone & Wood and basically part of the brewery furniture.
Hughie started with the business during their humble beginnings back in 2012, a huge 10-year milestone.
From his infectious laugh to his one-liners, Hughie brings tonnes of energy and fun to not only the business but the pubs and venues he visits regularly during his weekly rounds.
In honour of Hugh and his 10-year milestone with Stone & Wood, he had the opportunity to hit the brew deck and brew his very own Kolsch, a favourite style he has always loved.
“I’ve always been mesmerised how it’s a lager style beer, brewed like an ale,” Hughie says.
LOVES?
House beats
Mowing the lawn
The smell of pubs
And a cold Green Coast Crisp
THE BEST PART OF WORKING FOR STONE & WOOD?
The Crew. The crew here are all A-1. We’ve all got a similar buzz and we’re all here for the same reason, for something better.
WHEN HE’S NOT AT WORK, YOU CAN FIND HUGHIE:
Enjoying the fruits of his labour in the backyard at home or smelling the taps.
HUGHIE’S 10 YEARS WITH STONE & WOOD
Hugh has been flying the flag for Stone & Wood for 10 years and as tradition goes, if you make it to 10 years with S&W, you get to brew your very own beer. With Brisbane head brewer Mick Barnes at his side, Hugh turned his hand at brewing his German-style Kolsch. After four long weeks of waiting, you can now sample Hugh’s Island Kolsch at Stone & Wood’s Brisbane and Byron Breweries.
