In the 1990's, Hahn produced Sydney Bitter - a beer made by Sydneysiders for Sydneysiders. The argument was that other local products e.g. Tooheys were foreign owned, and "plenty" of interstate beers were available. Just a year later, Lion Nathan bought out the company and is now foreign owned. Sydney Bitter has since faded into history.
