Corey Artanis' journey to South Florida happened somewhat serendipitously. Paved with plenty of ups and downs, the path he took picked up cult-level interest and support, way before his dream of a brewery came true. His relentless focus and passion for bringing “unconventional ales for unconventional palates” led the way. I sat down with Artanis to discuss the challenges and triumphs of opening 3 Sons Brewing Co. in Dania Beach, and his future plans.READ the original (September 2020) full article HEREDale!

Budweiser gets Utah to name them the offical state beer and to celebrate wants to bring two people to swear on top of a Utah mountain. Jeremy and Tyler throw their sweary hats into the ring. PLUS! More BA numbers spell doom and boom for the industry. We parse the figures to figure out what is happening. A strange eulogy for a strange piece of beer twitter and the tale of the Great Lakes Cuvee.

Even amidst the utopian fields of golden barley the #GrainGang calls home, life still happens and the recording schedge sadly didn’t work out this week. SO, we combed through the annals and dusted off one of our all-favorites - a conversation with comedian, wordsmith, barrister, TikTok megastar,  and small dog enthusiast, Alex Kidd of DontDrinkBeers and Malt Couture! Recorded almost exactly a year ago, when the country was merely in the courting stage of both Zoom and COVID, the laughs are still just as loud today. Do yourself the favor of (re)listening to the smartest man in beer seriously lower himself to the Grain Gang level. Best case, you’ve got a good laugh; worst case, you’ll end up as “that guy” in a local improv class. ...... ........... ........... ............. Music: “Mountain Climb” by Jake Hill

Brady and Holli sit down with Adam & Katie Rozanas, local beer bloggers with big aspirations. They discuss how their journey began, from their early days as a couple in Minneapolis to their present-day home in Rogers.Between Katie's colorful can reads in a variety of accents, the group discusses the origin of their Instagram account which was born out of a difficult season in their life. Their desire to tell unique stories through written word led them to gigs with PorchDrinking (porchdrinking.com) and The Growler (growlermag.com).Time is spent discussing mental health and how those who suffer from depression and anxiety deal with the toxicity of social media. They mention how it's easy to forget that there are real people behind the accounts, but that the duo does a good job of sharing their failures as well as their successes.And it wouldn't be a 2020 podcast without discussing shelter-at-home, COVID-19, and George Floyd. There was a lot to cover. Adam and Katie dig deep into their thoughts on the current events, the backlash they received during the protests, and mused on their responsibility as social media influencers.The podcast finishes by asking what's next for their account. It's a watershed moment that either means the end or the start of something big. Stick around if you want to find out what style of beer they believe most resembles themselves. You'll even learn about Katie's next tattoo!Beers:Bent Paddle - Pordij, Juicy IPA (@bentpaddlebeer)Bad Habit - Simpin' Ain't Easy, Gose (@badhabitbrewing)Copper Trail - Beach Daze, NEIPA (@coppertrailbrewingco)Bauhaus - Wonderstuff, Czech Pilsner (@bauhausbrewlabs)Pulpit Rock - Show and Tell, Blackberry Kettle Sour (@prbrewing)For Clips and Other Fun, follow: Brew Chat Podcast Instagram: (@brewchatpodcast)Our Guest:Ale Adventures (@aleadventuresmn)Katie (@katharine_rozanas)Adam (@adamrozanas)Website: Ale AdventuresHosts: Brady Lindquist (@bradysbrews)Holli Kern (@holliroseart)Want to be on the show?www.brewchatpodcast.com/contactJoin the BC Crew at brewchatpodcast.com

The latter half of the journey to triple digits is off with a bang! We're talking remotely with Scott Janish, co-founder of Sapwood Cellars in Columbia, MD, with partner Michael Tonsmeire of The Mad Fermentationist. Noah had been an avid reader of Scott's own fantastic (if not originally named) brewing blog, ScottJanish.com, which has always differentiated itself by using beer research papers to inform brewing trials and experiments. He and Noah eventually met in person while Scott was doing research of his own, effectively developing the approach of his blog into a full book - The New IPA: Scientific Guide to Hop Aroma and Flavor. Naturally, we dive head first into Technical Town, and Noah and Matty get the lowdown on biotransformation, timing the addition of specific varietals, hot- vs. cold-side bitterness, and plenty more (which should be a perfect primer to place an Amazon order as soon as the episode is done). We also get into the origins of Scott's blog, what writing a goddamn book is like, and opening a brewery alongside another homebrewing figure, blogger, and author (American Sour Beer) in Mike. The conversation could have easily gone on for another couple hours, so this certainly won't be the last time you hear this man, despite the fact that he is far too smart to be speaking to Matt and Noah. As remote recordings can go, we had some audio issues from the distance, but be assured they'll be forgotten before you hear the word "linalool". Enjoy!Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

In a socially distanced world, devoid of live interviews, we finally dipped our toes into the remote recording waters. Those waters were mighty fine, as this week's guest is none other than the Pastry Stout Playboy himself, Alex Kidd.Unless you've been in quarantine for the last decade, you know that Alex is the man behind Don't Drink Beer, a blog that remains unparalleled in its wonderfully unique combination of humor, insight, and perspective. We get into DDB's origin story and wild trajectory, which ultimately gave birth to Alex's podcast, Malt Couture. Like the DDB blog, Malt Couture very much occupies its own category in the beer world, consisting of equal parts beer commentary and improvisational comedy. Alex shares a handful of stories from the improv world, touches on his day job as a lawyer, and had us laughing in a way that nearly required medical attention. It's true -- Unicorns DO exist.

This weekend we were meant to be up in Leeds at Hop City!! But the world said no! Thanks to our Patrons subscription we got a taste of what could have been through the Hop City DDH DIPA We Are Europe. So in our isolated state we called up our beer buddy Matt to grieve over what could have been but mainly just talk about craft beer! You can find Matt at: instagram.com/mattsbeerblog If you have any recommendations for us, feel free to email HelloHighHops@gmail.com Thanks to Vessel Beer Shop based, our one and only beer shop partner!

Episode 258 - Worst Beer Blog (COVID19 Quarantine Call-in) Happy Monday, Thieves! We're back in quarantine at Augie's dining room table this week, drinking from his cellar and talking about all that is happening in the world. This week, joining us from a safe distance and on the phone is... well... he won't give us his real name, but it's the guy that runs Worst Beer Blog. If you like the bad side of beer culture you're likely aware of Worst Beer Blog. It's on all the social media sites highlighting silly, funny, or downright dumb things breweries and beer drinkers do. "Peter" told us how he picks what goes up, what he likes to avoid, and talks about his local beer scene in California (if that's actually where he really is from). Then we call Justin for a letter. It's an all around perfect show. Hope you enjoy listening. Shows like this are going to be the new normal for a while.

Have your beer and eat it too…That is the mantra of The Beeroness, otherwise known as Jackie Dodd-Mallory. She is a beer loving wonder chef, or maybe she is a food loving beer nerd, I am not sure, but either way she is a social media queen of beer, with over 45,000 social media followers.Jackie has a unique ability to make me want to cook her dishes every time she shares them on social media. Some of her recent creations include Beer Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwiches, Spicy Beer Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes and Oatmeal Stout Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars…am I making you hungry.Jackie has been doing he thing since 2011, so there isn't much she hasn't done with a good bottle of beer and an amazing recipe to accompany it.In this episode we talk about living in "Beer Heaven", not requiring a penis to know stuff about beer, and how Jackie thinks of beer ingredients as an extension of her mixing bowl when writing her recipes...an interesting way of thinking about it!Enjoy my chat with Jackie...she is amazing!!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Two brothers…one a scientist with 15+ years experience in cell biology, the other a qualified mechanical engineer…naturally those skills translate into starting an All-Australian yeast provider for the craft beer industry.I fell across the guys from Bluestone Yeast thanks to one of my social media followers and after the reaction to my recent chat with Dr Tom Shellhammer about hops, I thought you the listener would love an in depth chat about yeast.Those lovely little microbes that are thrown into beers all around the world and convert the sugars in wont into alcohol and little bubbles of CO2 are pretty complex little beasties.On this episode, the co-owners of Bluestone Yeast, the Lacey Brothers, join me to talk all things yeast!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

On this podcast I try to speak to people from all over the craft beer landscape…brewers, marketers, sale people, both here and overseas.So when an email hit my inbox last week from the Boys at Beer Cartel, with a link to the Ultimate Aussie Top 50 Beers list, I thought that I should reach out to today's guest and ask him to come and have a chat on the podcast.Geoff Huens co-founded Beer Cartel in 2009 and has been driving excellence in the online craft beer game ever since. Geoff tells the story of how Beer Cartel started in the corner of his apartment and the changes he has seen in the industry since they began, plus let's us in on some insights from the Ultimate Aussie Top 50 Beers list he has collated.https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Batch Brewing Company is in the heart of the Craft Beer mecca known as the inner west of Sydney. Taking a look at the local area these days, you will see over ten breweries littered around the suburbs in that area, but back in 2013 when Batch opened its doors, the numbers were more like 2 or 3.Fast forward 6 years and Batch is embarking on a new era for the company, with a second site almost ready to open, one of the founders returning to his homeland, and lots of new challenges in what has become a pretty crowded beer market.Andrew Fineran, also known as Chuck ,and Chris Sidwa, two ex-pat Americans began with a dream back in 2011 or so…they wanted to brew great beer for the people and start a true community brewery. Being that Andrew was a marketer for Lion Beer at the time and Chris was wrapped up in the world of high finance, they had all the skills they needed to make great beer…or so they thought.In this episode we take a bit of a look back at the past, the lessons learned and the mistakes made, and how they learned from those to create a thriving community brewery. We also take a look into the future as the boys embark on an exciting new era with a new venue that will help them get back to what made them successful...creating small batch beers, and many of them!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

The Australian International Beer Awards were held during Good Beer Week in Melbourne, and the who's who of the Australian beer industry was all in the one room...and I had a new toy to play with, a mobile recording device...and so was born Roaming Beer Healer!In this episode I do my best to navigate around the crowded and noisy room to talk to some of my friends in the industry, past podcast guests and most importantly, the award winners!Emotions were running high, there was a lot of love in the room, and people were speaking from the heart!Enjoy!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

When I started this podcast, I wanted to make sure I was telling the great stories of the craft beer industry...you know, have a crack at doing my best journalist impression. I felt that with no-one else to bounce conversations around with, and many others already doing very well with the format of having fun discussions over beers, I would take the story telling angle.But every now and then, an opportunity presents itself to try something a little different...and so was born the idea for this episode.Joining me for a round table chat over the interwebs is Ex-Hopco employee and man about the brewing world, Jon Burridge, and Klimt Donohoe, co-founder of the next big thing in the Tasmanian beer scene, Spotty Dog and one third of the Step Brewers podcast.In this episode we take a stab at who we think will be walking away with the AIBA Champion Trophys at this years awards and the boys provide us with some insights into the industry and what is going on.And for those of you concerned, The Beer Healer Interviews will return to it's regularly scheduled program format soon!Apologies for the quality of my individual sound feed on this episode...unbeknownst to me, my microphone died at the start of the interview and so my whole conversation was recorded by my crappy laptop microphone.https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Craft Beer, Kawhi Leonard, and Doris Day.. What do they all have in common? Alan covers them all on today's show. Alan is joined by guests Glenn Howard from The Beer Store, Sean O'Shea of Global News, Matt Park of Burdock Brewery, Ben Johnson of Ben's Beer Blog, and the spirit of Kawhi Leonard running through Alan's soul.

I've been doing this Beer Healer thing across multiple social media platforms for about 4 years now. I thought I knew a little bit about the world of Social Media...until my guest on this podcast set me straight on a few things.Mariella Mejia is a one time freelance marketer who now runs a Digital Marketing agency called Made With Moxie. Made with Moxie is a digital commerce and paid media agency that growth hacks businesses and sells out events, with a real focus on Social Media and Digital Strategy. She has an impressive list of clients, both in and out of the beer industry, working on some pretty cool social media campaigns, including one with Henry Rollins and Mercedes Benz.Mariella knows a lot about Social Media, she is currently working with Good Beer Week and having great success with it. Our chat covers the do's and dont's of social media, busts a few myths that I well and truly believed, and offers some great tips for anyone looking to really ramp up their social media efforts.If you are after some real world insights and advice on running your social media account, you have come to the right place!Enjoy!http://www.madewithmoxie.com.au/https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Brewers of all ages, and experience levels, have a listen to Dr Tom Shelhammer drop some pearls of wisdom about hops in this episode.Dr Shelhammer was in Tasmania to conduct a session at the Fresh Hop Beer Festival in Launceston, and as luck would have it, he was staying only a few minutes from my home. I took that as a sign that the Beer Gods wanted me to have a chat with him for the podcast!An expert on all things hops, Dr Shellhammer recently released a piece of ground-breaking research on factors Impacting Aroma, Flavour and Stability in Dry-Hopped Beers, something that I think all brewers, both home and pro would love to know more about.In this interview, among other things, we discuss the details of his research paper, including:When Dry Hopping, More is not always More;Does Dry Hopping really add bitterness; andThe phenomenon known as “Hop Creep”I was absolutely blown away by his depth and breadth of knowledge on hops and brewing techniques, and I think you will be too!Enjoy!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

There are some amazing beers being brewed in Queensland these days. Only a few years ago, the craft beer scene in the Sunshine State was pretty quiet, but all of a sudden there are new breweries and pubs popping up all over the place. Slowly but surely these new kids on the block are converting local drinkers to new flavoursome beers, and tap banks in local pubs now have other options outside of the big brewers mainstream mid-strength options.My guest was once the head of one of the largest craft beer brands in the country. Backed by an army of sales people, marketing assistants and plenty of cash, he turned his back on that life and moved North to the Sunshine State. It must have been the promise of sun and surf, and a massive market full of opportunities to convert drinkers over to the wonderful world of craft beer that saw him leave behind the spoils of working for a beer brand with serious muscle behind it.Ash Cranston was the Marketing Manager of Little Creatures for 4 years, and previously managed their dining hall for another 4 years…so he knows a few things about selling beers to punters.So why did he leave? What has he learned in building a big brewery from scratch? And why did he choose to put in a bottling, not a canning line, like the cool kids are doing?All of this, and more advice for new brewery builders...https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

I met my guest at one of the world's smallest beer festivals...From the Wilderness, in Evandale, Tasmania.On a holiday with his partner Nadia, somehow Rick Bennie managed to convince her to spend their final day in Tasmania at a beer festival two hours away from their camping spot. And they had an early wake-up the next morning to go home on the boat. Something tells me this guy is a dedicated craft beer nut!Rick is actually a brewer from Blackmans Brewery and I asked him to come on the podcast to talk about the path he took to become a brewer, his career to date, and the options for brewers in terms of careers in the local and even international market.I enjoyed our conversation in the sun, sipping on some Farmhouse Ales, and I thought that others would like to hear his story, or maybe some of you out there are thinking of a career in brewing and need some help getting started.Whatever the case, I really hope you enjoy the conversation with Rick as much as I did!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

The idea for this episode came from a chat I had with The Beer Pilgrim about Beer Tourism. He had so many great stories from his travels and I wondered if some of the people I interact with on social media had some too...and they did!In this episode, Matt King recounts his trip down the Murray River drinking fresh IPA from kegs supplied by the local brewery, Nigel Ayling takes us back to the 80's when he discovered the some amazing beers while backpacking around Europe, and finally, Steve Kirton tells us about his recent trip to San Diego.This is the first of what I hope will be many episodes where I invite some of you on to tell craft beer stories from your travels. If you have a story, reach out to me on Facebook or beerhealer@internode.on.nethttps://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Good Beer Week began in 2011 with the first festival being thrown together by a very small team of beer lovers in a few week, which resulted in over 50 events in 40 venues in Melbourne, Victoria. Showcasing the social, flavoursome and diverse world of, the event was a huge success and continues to grow year on year.In just eight years, Good Beer Week has grown from the spark of an idea to a global festival made up of more than 300 diverse and innovative events across Melbourne and Victoria that attracts seventy five thousand attendees from across Australia and overseas.It is heralded as one of the great beer events of the world, culminating in the Australian International Beer Awards at the Great Australia Beer Spectapular at the end of the week. Good Beer Week's goal is to become the largest and most professional beer festival in the Asia Pacific, and I would say they are well on their way.In this episode I talk with Good Beer Week's Program Manager, Luke Robertson (also known for being the creator of Ale of A Time and author of Keg, Bottle, Can) about some of his favourite upcoming events in the 2019 Good Beer Week Program. He also shares his his favourite memories from the past 8 years and gives me some advice for my first trip to Good Beer Week this year.https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Stu Grant from Ocho Beer comes across as a pretty quiet guy, but bloody hell, he loves a chat. He is also a massive beer nerd...so I guess that makes my job easy a craft beer podcast host!Stu has spent the last few years working by day with Will Tatchell at Van Dieman Brewing producing some great beers, and then metaphorically, by night, he puts on his crazy scientist lab coat and goes to work on producing some amazing experimental beers.In 2016 Ocho beer was born in the back of the Van Dieman brewery. Looking to do something different with their beers, their first year saw them release varieties such as a barrel aged saison, a wild fermented IPA and beer made with Chardonnay grapes…not the typical beers you expect form a small startup brewery. They also took a different route to market, preferring to initially sell all their beer via their website.For the last few years, Ocho has been creating some great experimental beers and is now firmly in the conversation with other cool kids in the Aussie industry right now.In this interview, Stu shares some EXCLUSIVE NEWS about the future and talks about:Being fascinated by fermentation;Making cider on the family farm in his early teens;How he "accidentally" made a sour stout;How to release a core beer, that changes four times a year;How Tassie could be the next Bend, Oregon; andThe art of making a good Pilsner.Enjoy!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

A few years ago, the wife and I took the kids on a family holiday to Vietnam. It was such a great experience for us all, the sights, the sounds the unique food and of course the amazing people. Before taking my trip I did a bit of research and found out that the was a pretty cool little craft beer scene beginning to bubble up to the surface over there, so I decided to do what I could to hijack my family holiday for the sake of craft beer.One of the items on my list was to visit a brewery I had read about called Pasteur St Brewing. Their mantra seemed cool, combine American Brewing techniques with the local produce to make great craft beer. One sip of the Pasteur St Jasmine IPA was all it took for me to fall in love with the Vietnamese craft beer scene…The man behind that beer, Alex Violette, was head brewer at Upslope Brewing in Colorado at the time that John Reid, Pasteur's founder pitched the idea to him. Alex loved it and moved to Saigon to begin a new brewing adventure. Very early on in the piece, Mischa Smith, knew he had to get in on the action of spreading craft beer love in Vietnam. He started as a volunteer behind the bar, being paid in beer and now he is Pasteurs St's Brand Ambassador.5 years and 200+ beers later, Pasteur St Brewing now has 4 tap Rooms and has nationwide distribution. It's been 3 years since I was in Vietnam and I was keen to find out how the scene is going in Vietnam, so I invited the guys on to talk all things Vietnamese Craft Beer.In this interview, Alex, Mischa and I try our best to keep things on track as we discuss such things as:How Pasteur St came to be;Making beers with local ingredients and winning awards for it;The perception that Vietnamese palates would be different to the western world;How the craft beer culture is Vietnam borrows from their well established coffee culture;When we will see their beers in Australia again; andMaking beer that smells like farts!Enjoy!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

This episode was recorded on location at Van Dieman Brewing, where I was attending the "From The Wilderness" Beer Festival, a celebration of the art of Farmhouse Brewing.My guests, Head Brewer Evan Hunter, and his partner and Brewery Sales & Promotions Manager, Steph Schrodka, are the dynamic duo behind the Bruny Island Beer Co. Now in it's 5th year of operation, this little brewery on a small island in the deep south of Tasmania is very unique…they use open top fermenters and their brew kit is manufactured from old dairy farming equipment.Evan and Steph are knowledgeable, passionate and fun…lots of fun. In this episode I do my best to get them to let me in on their brewery secrets, which leads to some awkward moments and a lot of laughing! I also pick Evans brain about wet hops and farmhouse ales, Steph talks about selling their first beers and her love of fresh hop beers. We also discuss the challenges of having a brewery along side a cheesery and a bakery with microbes flying all around their open top fermenters!A fun and interesting chat, enjoy it!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Back when I was still working in the industry, and the numbers of beer bloggers, reviewers and podcasters were much lower than what we have today, there was this blonde haired surfie looking dude that used top pop up on the interwebs here and there, going buy the name The Beer Pilgrim. His real name is Tim Charody and 7 or so years and 32,000 facebook followers later, he is still at it.An engaging presenter who has traveled far and wide sharing his adventures with his followers, some how he has managed to live this amazing adventure and still be able to put food on the table.Being a fan of working in craft beer activities on my family holidays, I thought I would invite Tim on to talk about his experiences in beer tourism,You are in for a real treat with this episode...Tim is one of those blokes that you can just ask a question to and he just runs with it, in all directions!In this episode, we talk about:The amazing Italian Craft Beer Scene and how he me what I would call "The Dude" of Italian Craft Beer;How important Beer Trails are for tourism;Belgium being his favourite beer vacation;How he manages to work craft beer into all of this work trips;Tips for beer travelers; andHis upcoming Ultimate West Coast of American Beer Trip that you can join him on!Enjoy!!!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

A few of my earlier podcasts featured marketers who provided insight and advice on the tricky practice of taking an amazing liquid to the consumer and getting them to hand over their hard earned cash to drink it. This podcasts were very popular, and so I decided to invite another experience marketer on to have a chat about the industry and answer a few questions from some of my social media followers.One time drummer in a rock band, Jessie Jungalwalla, spent time in Canada working as a graphic designer for Big Rock in Vancouver, eventually working her way up to running events and experiences for them. She is a certified cicerone, a home brewer and a huge fan of craft beer, so when she returned home to Australia it seemed only natural that she would find a way to combine her passion for craft beer with her design skills.Jessie company, Craft instinct, is a brand development and design service specialising in the craft beverage industry. They have worked with well known brands such as The Crafty Pint, Blackmans Brewery and Pink Boots Australia.Jessie was such a delight to talk with, she has an infectious laugh and knows her stuff!Enjoy!PS - She has a new website in development, but if you are looking for Jessie, you can find her at http://www.craftinstinct.com/https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

The craft beer world is littered with stories of people starting breweries after falling in love with creating amazing liquids, including Agi Gagic, head brewer at Sparkke. But the difference with Agi's brewery is that it's not just about the love of the beer, you see Sparkke is driven by something greater, the need for social change.Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, Sparkke was launched in 2017. Founders Rose Kentish, an award wining winemaker and Kari Allen, a highly regarded international marketer, along with Agi describe themselves as social activists, who also happen to run a alcoholic beverage company.Agi is in charge of creating the beers in slogan covered cans that seem to be striking a chord with the consumers who are looking for an authentic beer brand that shares their values.I was initially a bit nervous about talking to Agi, I thought I might be a bit out of my league! I need not have worried, as Agi was an absolute pleasure to talk to and shared so many insights into her world of influencing social change one beverage at a time!Enjoy the chat.https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

My guest in this episode, Dave MacGill from Moo Brew, is a pillar of the brewing community in Tasmania and has worked for over a decade in one of the first craft breweries established in the state.Moo Brew appeared in local bottleshops and high end grocery stores in 2005, selling its flavoursome ales in fancy bottles with labels designed by artist John Kelly…it's fair to say that it was a little bit of a shock to the traditional mainstream drinker in Tasmania who were used to picking between the Draught Beer from either the North or the South of the state.But somehow it worked, and drinkers began enjoy what a Pale Ale should be, how a true Pilsener tasted and the joys that could be found in a Dark Ale. After helping to establish Moo Brew, Dave moved to Melbourne for a few years where he set up Temple Brewery. In 2013, he returned to Tasmania, and Moo Brew, to take up the position of General Manager and lead the now well established brewery into the future in a very competitive market.Dave has been heavily involved in the Aussie brewing industry for many years in many different capacities, brewer, general manager and Vice President of the Tassie Independent Brewers Association.Enjoy the episode!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

A young man with his head screwed on right, looking to ensure the future success of his family business by taking a chance on this thing called Craft Beer.That's how I would describe Hamish Coates from Rocky Ridge Brewing Co. in Western Australia. His brewery resides on land that has been passed down through his family for generations. Previously they farmed beef and dairy cattle, but with new times comes change, new challenges, and new ways to utilise the land for other purposes, like brewing craft beer! They describe it as a new perspective being applied to the land, but with the passion that has been part of their property for all these years.Passionate about how to sustain-ably utilise the environment around him to create amazing beers, this is a fantastic story of innovation, perseverance and that good old Aussie trait of "having a crack"!Enjoy the story of Hamish Coates and Rocky Ridge Brewing Co.https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Steve Haumschild from Lanikai Brewing in Hawaii is a very inquisitive man with a real passion for his local environment. His island inspired beers are made with all sorts of fruits, flowers, nuts and yeasts hand foraged from the islands of Hawaii. The results are amazing, but this passionate brewer wants to push thing just that little bit further.It's here that NASA enters the picture, thanks to a chance meeting at a beer dinner, and after a few beers a plan was hatched to capture yeast from the edge of space...70,000ft in the air! In this episode he explains how he is making the space yeast project a reality.We also talk about the wild yeasts he is collecting from volcanoes, forests and fields from all over Hawaii, how 98% of beer sold in Hawaii is made off the island, and hiscollaborations with brewers in the Pacific North West. Steve also talks about some potential plans to export into Australia, something that should please listeners in my home country.Steve is a talented brewer and a great story teller, so sit back, relax and have a listen!https://www.lanikaibrewing.com https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

When I started this podcast, my aim was to tell stories from all different points of view. Whether they be Marketers, or Sales People or Brewers. And that goes for people working in all breweries, big, small, independent or otherwise…the one thing that unites us is our love of beer.My guest on this podcast, Chris Sheehan, is an absolute ripping bloke with many years of brewing experience, but I feel like he doesn't really receive enough credit for his achievement. Why? Well, he works for a big brewer, Lion Beer in Australia, and we all know the stigma that carries in some circles within the industry. However, the interesting thing about him is he currently works in their smallest brewery, The Eumundi Brewery, which is pretty much a brew pub run out of the Imperial Hotel.So yeah, cool story, smallest brewery inside a big beer operation...sounds like a bit of a contradiction, doesn't it? Well, somehow he makes it work...so have a listen to his story.Enjoy!!BTW - this is my last episode for 2018...keep an ear out in early January for a couple of very special episodes to start the new year!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

On this podcast, I am trying to tell stories from all different viewpoints within the craft beer industry. Some people are well established, and have stories from their long careers, others are newer to the game, but still have stories to tell.Klimt Donohoe from Spotty Dog Brewers is something of a trail blazer in the Tasmanian brewing industry. I like to think of him as Tasmania's version of Mikkeller! Klimt is a gypsy brewer who is producing great beers with the help of a couple of other breweries around the state.With plans in motion to have his own facility in the future, I thought it would be interesting to get Klimt in to talk about the things that are keeping him up at night, as well as the things he is most excited about as he takes the leap from Gypsy Brewer to Brewery Owner.Enjoy!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Sometimes in business, the stars align, and a good idea is born at just the right time to take advantage of the current environment. That's how I like to think of Philter Brewing. They have been called an overnight success, but I don't think that is fair to the work done behind the scenes to ensure a successful launch…a bit like an iceberg with the majority of its mass sitting below the surface, unseen.Philter absolutely burst onto the scene in 2017, but it was no overnight success. It was a plan hatched by two mates over countless beers. They shared love of beer and had a multitude of marketing expertise between them, but they needed a brewer to complete their craft beer puzzle. Once they found her, they were ready to jump in the deep end for the love of beer.I invited my old workmate, Stef, onto the podcast to talk about the pro's and con's of contract brewing, how his experience in big beer has really helped him navigate the ultra competitive Aussie beer market, and how it all started in a small Hobart brewery.Enjoy!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

I often talk about my love for the craft beer world, a world that just continues to amaze me…this podcast kind of came from left field.Picture this, you head to a local bar to do a meet and greet with a co-founder of one of the most significant craft brewing entities, Greg Koch from Stone Brewing. Youstrike up a conversation with his wife, Sarah, and bond over showing each otherpictures of our cats on our phones! Yep, cats!!The conversation continued, and I found Sara's story really interesting, and I asked her if she would like to chat on my podcast when she returned home. She seemed prettykeen, and then said “well what are you up to tomorrow, we are free afterbreakfast and podcasts are a lot more fun in person”. She then turned to Greg and he was like, “yeah, we can do that”.And so that's how this episode came about, and I am sure glad it did. We talked about so many things that I ditched my 30-minute time limit for this episode. Greg and Sarasip on local Tasmanian beers as they profess their love for craft beer, andTasmania, get us up to date on their plans with Metallica, and talk about thebubbling craft beer scene in Shanghai…the location for their latest tap room .Many thanks to Greg and Sara, they made my year!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Hopco has been supplying Aussie brewers, both Pro and Home, with the best hops from their overseas partners since 2001. For the last 4 years or so, the man in charge of their Sales and Marketing has been Jon Burridge. So when I ran in to Jon at Black Hops Brewing while we were both holidaying, and he said he wanted to jump on my podcast to talk hops, I jumped at the chance.Jon and I both live in Hobart, so it seemed like a great idea for us to record this interview in my works podcast studio, until we covered it in a mix hop pellets and beer cork remnants...but I digress.In this episode, among other things, we talk about:The benefits of fresh hops;Supporting the home brew community;Working with brewers to find the perfect hop;The latest trends in hops; andDreaming of hop allocations for brewers;Oh, and, we try to open up a Flanders Red Ale from Crux Fermentation with a Ryobi cordless drill!Enjoy!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Steve Henderson, or Hendo as he is known, is a doyen of the Australian craft beer scene. He has been brewing for over 10 years and has experienced it all in those times. He founded of Brewcult, was AIBA Champion Gypsy Brewer, won the GABS Peoples Choice Champion Beer and has brewed with Brewcult, Prickly Moses, Southern Bay and Stone and Wood. He has now started a new business, The Rockstar Brewer Academy, and is looking to share his experiences and help new and established brewers brew better beer.Steve and I got together one night, after I accidentally stood him up to watch the Bachelor finale with my wife and daughter. The good sport that he is, he forgave me and we had an amazing chat. We covered so much ground in 60 minutes (slightly over my usual limit), including:Tips for starting a brewery;Risks of being a gypsy brewer;The importance of High Value/High Quality beers for surviving the game;Hard decisions and the checkpoints for saving beers;Social Media is not a Sales & Marketing plan;Dangers of ignoring the "Craft" in Craft Beer;Japanese Beer Festivals where all the beer is free;If he has plans to brew again; andOf course, the in's and out's of the Rockstar Brewer Academy.Enjoy!!!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

"I think we should start our brewery, our first beer should be an eggnog stout, and let's launch it in the height of summer in the nations strongest macro mid strength lager market". After six pints of Fortitude Brewing's Admiral Ackbar, that's kind of how it all came together for the boys from Black Hops Brewing.I ditched my family at Sea World so that I could drive down to "Melrose Place" (Black Hops HQ) to have a chat with Michael McGovern, Co-Founder and Head Brewer. We chatted about their "overnight success" from Gypsy Brewers to AIBA Champions, taking epic beer trips to the USA, inviting home brew champions to collaborate, epiphany beers and their plans for the future with a big new brew house.Funnily enough, these guys are also chasing Chris Hemsworth for a beer...join the queue guys!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

You might not know the name Adrian Slaughter, but I am tipping you have heard about his brewery. You see, along with his school mate Marc Chrismas, Adrian is the co-owner of Green Beacon Brewing.Sparked by a love of craft beer in New York City and inspired by Penny, his Welsh Craft Brewing Mother-in-law, "The Beacon" was brought to life in the historic riverside inner city suburb of Teneriffe in the city of Brisbane, Queensland.Experimental HPA hops being smuggled to the USA for a collaboration with Pizza Port Brewing in California, advice for new breweries, the challenge of connecting with Queensland drinkers, benefits of the brew pub model, Beacon expansion plans, and my never ending quest to get Chris Hemsworth on this podcast...this episode has it all.https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

Ross Jurisich is one of the "three amigos" that in 2008 started the iconic Byron Bay Brewery, Stone and Wood.Ross is an icon in the industry, who has not only built a very successful business, but has helped many others in the industry to get started. As I found out, he has a way with words...you just have to listen to how he describes the drinking occasion that Pacific Ale was designed to compliment, you will feel like you are back in Byron Bay.In this episode, we talk about their "beer-o-meter" that helped them discover what beers they wanted to brew, their love of the Galaxy hop, their new brewery (that may not be their last) and those rumours that constantly surround them...yep I'm talking about the forth coming Pacific Ale cans.Ross also name-drops Matt Damon and Chris Hemsworth, the latter which I am hoping to get on this podcast one day...yep, he is a fan of craft beer!Enjoy the episode!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

When I wanted to start this Podcast, I knew I needed someone that I knew and trusted, who would be patient with me as I created Episode 1. But probably than that, I wanted someone who had a really interesting story to tell, that I thought others would want to listen to.Enter Will Tatchell, my mate and a great Brewer, who learned his trade in the UK before returning to Tasmania to brew his own beers. About six years in, he decided that he wanted to take his brewery in a different direction, and set out to make it happen.This is his story...https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer
