    In episode three of our Time in Barrel series presented by Carwyn Cellars, we chat to Will Tatchell of Van Dieman Brewing, from our very home state of Tasmania. Van Dieman are one of the OG’s of the Tasmanian brewing scene, but in the spirit of continually developing and learning they have become part of a new wave of farm house and spontaneous brewers in Australia. It’s hard not to be caught up in the romance of a ground to glass brewery and the notion of growing grains for estate malting, picking hops fresh from the farm and creating spontaneous ales using a koelschip amongst the rolling hills of Evandale. Will delves into his process, what excites him and the difficulty of trying to wear many hats as a brewer and farmer. He also drops details on THREE brand new releases from Van Dieman, along with providing our Patreon members a very generous discount on his online store!
