'We're sticking around': Iconic Sydney brewery facing demolition
A popular Inner West Sydney brewery could be forced to shut down its original operation as the local council considers a new building development proposal.

Since 2012, Young Henry’s Brewery has been located in a leased warehouse in Newtown, establishing itself as a popular bar and its signature Newtowner pale ale as a widely recognized beer in pubs across the city.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his fiancee Jodie Haydon went there on their first date.

“It sort of makes sense, right,” McMahon said.

“The Inner West is a vibrant and attractive area and it needs housing. Still, that means we’re looking for a new home.”

McMahon said they had been talking to the landlord for some months now and were aware of their plans to turn the building into housing.

“While there’s optimism for the future, it also is disruptive,” McMahon said.

“And you know, we’ve built a really beautiful cultural business there.”

Co-founder Dan Hampton said Young Henry’s would remain a part of the local scene.

”We’ll always be part of Newtown. Our main beer is the Newtowner,” he said.

“So the fans and community need to know that we’re sticking around.”
