Meet The Crew: Hughie Doyle, Road Crew
Good beer may be our reason for being, but great people are at the heart of our company.
From the dedicated Sales Crew out on the road to the friendly voices on the phone in our Customer Service team, every member of the passionate Stone & Wood family has a story to tell.
With that in mind, we thought weβd open the brewery gates and introduce some of the legends who bring their best to our beers every day.
Introducing Hugh βHughieβ Doyle, one of the O.Gβs of Stone & Wood and basically part of the furniture here at the brewery.
WATCH ON FOR A DAY IN THE LIFE OF HUGHIE:
Hughie started with the business during our humble beginnings back in 2012, a huge 10 year milestone weβve all had the pleasure to be a part of.
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 of Brisbane.
In honour of Hugh and his 10 year milestone with Stone & Wood, he had the opportunity to hit the brew deck with our Brisbane Brewer, Barnsy, and brew is very own Kolsch, a favourite style he has always loved.
βIβve always been mesmerised how itβs a lager style beer, brewed like an ale,β Hughie Says.
Get to know Hughie and check out our next episode of Meet The Crew.

HUGHIEβS 10 YEARS WITH STONE & WOOD!
Hugh has been flying the flag for Stone & Wood in Brisbane 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 very own German-style Kolsch. After four long weeks of waiting, you can now sample Hughβs Island Kolsch at our Brisbane and Byron Breweries.
If Hughieβs tale has inspired you to become a part of the Stone & Wood family, head here to check out ourΒ current vacancies.
THE FINAL RESULTS OF HUGHIEβS SPECIAL BREW?
A delicate Kolsch but with a tropical twist. Steering away from tradition, this delightful number boasts all the nostalgic characteristics of a Kolsch but is bolstered by tropical aromas of passionfruit, mango and coconut. Sorry if you wanted to try this one, frothers, itβs all gone.
