Hawke's Brewing Co was founded by Nathan Lennon and David Gibson in April 2017, with Mr Hawke, the name, face and ambassador of the brand.

The company has a foundation partnership with Landcare Australia, with contributions from its beer sales helping to raise awareness and provide financial support for Landcare projects throughout the country.

Mr Hawke held no financial interest in Hawke's Brewing Co, instead opting to have his benefit donated to support the company's partnership with Landcare Australia.
