Podcasts about bright brewery

It's a packed show as Evin Craney returns to the Coolroom to discuss his role as Chair of the Australia's Independent Brewers Association and Jonathon and Leo from Westside Ale Works wrap up their tasting with a delicious Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout. You can grab the stout as well as the other Westside beers that we discussed in our previous episode from our online store here: https://the-coolroom-podcast.myshopify.com/products/westside-ale-works-mixed-6-pack With a Federal election around the corner Evin explains what the IBA is talking about with Australia's politicians and he sees as the opportunities and challenges for the country's craft beer industry. But it wouldn't be a Coolroom episode with a tangent or two and Davydd immediately gets things offtrack by asking about Bright Brewery's recent purchase of the Prince Alfred Hotel in Carlton and what made that the right choice for their expansion into Melbourne's hospo scene. We then pick up the conversation from last week with Westside hearing about all the fun collaborations they are undertaking with local businesses, their experiences in coolrooms and Davydd plays "Guess the Nut".   

It's the fourth and final of our Carwyn Cellars / Coolroom Black Box Series for 2024 featuring the return of some of our favorite Australian brewers talking about their contributions to this amazing project. Lewis Kerr from Bright Brewery, joins Alex Lovelock from Hawkers and Jimmy and Jesse Krekelberg from Good Land to share their thoughts on each others beers and the stories behind them. We learn the secrets of their barrel programs, their favorite brewing gizmos, the ideas that went into the designs on the cans for the black box and which band t-shirts would automatically get you a job at their brewery.  A huge thank you to all of the brewers who have been part of Black Box 2024, and of course to Carwyn for inviting us to be part of the adventure, And also a massive cheers to everyone who helped us sell out of the packs - we hope you've loved the beers and our chats about them!

It's a massive episode today as we're deep in the heart of Winter Beer Festivals in Australia and we kick off with Jacqui from Coconspirators telling us all about this year's Famiglia Affairs Festival - check out our Facebook page for information about how you can 2 free tickets to the event! Then we're up to Darker Days Festival at Bright Brewery with special guest co-host Evin Craney. We get all the goss on what goes into organising a festival like this, and what he's most looking forward to this year.  Then Bright head brewer Lewis Kerr joins the table and we taste our way through the collaboration beers from this year's festival while chatting with each of the brewers who participated. There's 250kg of banana puree, 2500 oysters, one perturbed Pocket beagle, an intense discussion on the differences between feijoas and pineapple guavas, a lot of work for our legal department and Davydd gets excited by the idea of giant wicker chicken...

Duncan from Hop Nation joins Warren and special guest host Travis for a discussion about all the latest news and views from the brewery. You can taste along with the beers discussed in the podcast by grabbing a tasting pack from our online store here: https://the-coolroom-podcast.myshopify.com/products/hop-nation-8-pack Duncan explains where the idea for Hop Nation came from and what it was like when the brewery started out, as well as his own journey from wine maker to brewer. We learn how old favorites like the J Juice have changed over time [and what's changed back] his approach to collaborations with the likes of Wildflower and the hops that inspire him. And of course we get some inside scoops on what's planned for the Carwyn/Coolroom Black Box, their visit to Bright Brewery's Darker Days Festival and the imminent release of this year's Kalash Imperial Stout

It's the second half of our interview with Evin from Bright [and also the Independent Brewers Association] as we delve into the story behind the North East Victorian IPA. We get the lowdown on the upcoming Darker Days festival where the Coolroom will be the guest podcaster alongside some great brewers and musical guests The Delta Riggs - you can grab your tickets here: https://darkerdays.com.au/ - don't forget to use the codeword Coolroom10 for a nice discount! We also get some insights into this year's hop harvest and the close links between the local suppliers and Bright, as well the latest part of the Bright Brewery family - Infinite Barrelworks. We finish off with a chat about last year's Black Box beer "Mushroom Bear" and get a tiny preview of what they are planning for this year's contribution - we even get a little behind the scenes story of the chaos caused when Tito from Carwyn last visited the brewery. Don't forget you can get your 2024 Black Box here: https://the-coolroom-podcast.myshopify.com/products/2024-carwyn-coolroom-black-box

Evin Craney from Bright Brewery is a regular visitor to the Coolroom and he returns with the Puteketeke Pilsner [thanks John Oliver] under his wing for a chat about all that's happening in the Australian Craft Beer scene. Before we get to Evin there's a quick chat out at Deeds Brewing where some lucky listeners got to join the brew team, Davydd and Tito from Carwyn Cellars to help blend their contribution to this year's Carwyn/Coolroom Black Box. Obviously at the time we didn't know that Deeds would be announcing just a couple of days later that they were ceasing operations and we again want to pass on to the Deeds team our thanks for some awesome beers over the years and wish them all luck in their future endeavours. If you'd like to purchase one of the black boxes including the beer we created at Deeds you can do so here: https://the-coolroom-podcast.myshopify.com/products/2024-carwyn-coolroom-black-box We recorded with Evin before the news about Deeds came out but with his Independent Brewers Association hat on we still got to chat about the challenges that he sees for the industry at the moment but also the things that make him optimistic for the future. There's plenty of market and design chat, commentary on the work of our friend Mr Pocket Beagles and a special code word to help you get 10% off your Bright Brewery Darker Days Festival tickets! Look out for Episode 227 coming soon with the second half of our chat with Evin!

Episode 44 is here!  We speak to bubbly, super adventurous Bright based adventurer, Elise Marcianti just a couple of weeks out from her huge 300KM multiday self-propelled mission through the Australian Alpine region.  Elise chats to us about this upcoming adventure, running an ultramarathon to the highest point of Australia - Mt Kosciuszko, before hiking 250KM solo along the Australian Alps walking track back to Bright. We hear about her planning; her hopes for the journey and her "why' for undertaking such a big challenge.  Elise also shares with us her mission to fundraise along the way for Eating Disorder Families Australia, an organisation close to her heart after being diagnosed with an eating disorder nine years ago.  Content warning: this episode includes conversation around eating disorders and eating disorder recovery.

As a special Grand Final Eve eve treat we have an interview for you all! We've been meaning to get Evin on the podcast for a couple of months to discuss Bright's Paktech Recycling Initiative. For a multitude of reasons it got delayed until we managed to catchup over Zoom this week. It worked out in our favour as we were able to have a far more wide reaching chat than we were initially intending. Evin is a seriously passionate guy & it comes across really well. In this chat we cover a wide range of topics from sustainability & recycling, staff injuries, Bright's evolving position in the market through 15 years of operation, COVID's impact on the business & so much more. We hope you enjoy!

This week, we have our last conversation recorded during our swing through the High Country Brewery Trail with a visit to Bright Brewery. We visited the High Country Breweries in late January after the fires, figuring that by April, the fires would be largely forgotten outside of the areas affected. Who would have predicted what would have happened instead. At the time it was breweries in the many regions affected by fires that were hurting. Today it is every small brewery and that makes the reminder all the more important. I checked in with Bright late last week and they've had to lay off all casual staff, and all permanent staff (except Sales) are on very restricted hours. They are currently serving takeaway dinner and beer from the brewery from 5-8pm daily, and offering free local delivery, free pick up, and free shipping over $100 for all online orders to try and boost that revenue stream. With bottle shops still currently open, they're pushing off-premise packaged as much they can. It's getting tough but they say they're really grateful to still be able to operate in some capacity. They have a new beer - Kiwi Sweetart Sour Ale - and a few Covid-related sales online. While you wait for that to arrive, you can listen to founder Scott Brandon talk about the evolution of the Bright Brewing as a tourism and hospitality venture...and start making plans to visit once this is all over. We discuss tourism, people management and sustainability, all hot button issues for breweries when they aren't dealing with global pandemics. Enjoy this chat with a lovely bloke, Scott Brandon.

This week on beer is a conversation Pete and Matt catch up with Scott Brandon, co-founder and owner of Bright Brewery in Victoria's High Country. Scott and his late wife Fiona Reddaway founded the brewery with the desire to create a cellar door experience that provided great beer and celebrated the outdoor lifestyle of the surrounding high country region. They first purchased the land for the brewery in 2003. The the first beers under the Bright label were brewed at Jamieson Brewery near Mansfield from late 2004 and they served them at a temporary bar in Wills Street, Bright, until the brewpub was commissioned on the current Great Alpine Road site in mid 2006. This “brew-pub” model has provided Bright Brewery with healthy business that has a reputation as one of the region's best destinations, highlighted through a string of tourism and business awards culminating last week when Bright took out Victoria's highest honour for Tourism Wineries, Distilleries & Breweries at the 2017 Victorian Tourism Awards. Bright will soon open its new production brewery that will see its beers available more widely. Enjoy the conversation…
