History
Bluetongue Brewery was founded in 2003 by four Hunter Valley businessmen, Philip Hele, Bruce Tyrrell, Ian Burford and Paul Hannan[1] in Cameron Park. In 2005 they sold a 50% share in the brewery to interests associated with John Singleton.[1] In December 2007 the consortium sold the brewery to Pacific Beverages, a joint venture between Coca-Cola Amatil and SABMiller.[2][3]
