POPULARITY
It's Day 2 of the Black Box and the team from Garage Project have made something truly exceptional. Join Davydd as he chats to one of the founders of the brewery Pete Gillespie about the amazing beer that's in the can!
It's being argued the government has taxed beer to a point where people can't afford it as consumption levels plummet. Stats NZ data shows the volume of all alcoholic beverages made last year fell by 8.3%, with beer dropping by 10%. It follows the beer excise tax rising more than 20% in five years. Garage Project Brewery co-owner Jos Ruffell told Mike Hosking the multi-billion-dollar industry is feeling the pain of this bizarre tax.

“How rock n' roll to take our largest space and fill it with 20,000 litres of barrel-aged beer.”There's little in Australian beer like Felons Brewing. First appearing as part of the Howard Smith Wharves (now Artemus Group) development on the Brisbane River as it flows under the iconic Story Bridge, the brewery's home has steadily gobbled up more of the riverbank to the point its multiple venues can host thousands.Since late 2024, they've been steadily taking over the equally iconic Manly Wharf, most recently opening the Barrel Room live music venue (in addition to the Barrel Hall in Brisbane) and a seafood restaurant for which they've devised a way to pour their lager at sub-zero temperatures for maximum crispiness.Such grandiosity, especially in an era of frugality for many, might seem at odds with much of the indie beer industry. Yet, as our chat with head brewer Tom Champion and brand director Dean Romeo – two of the Little Creatures alumni brought into the business before it launched – shows, they're community players, in beer and elsewhere, driven by a belief that a rising tide lifts all boats. Or, in this case, indie brewers.What's more, there are few breweries in Australia with similar potential to act as a first point of contact for newcomers to craft beer.Our conversation takes in their story to date, their approach to hospitality, events and collaborations, maintaining one of the country's largest barrel programs within such a large commercial entity, their thoughts on the wider beer industry, beer tourism and more.On the eve of a trip to New South Wales to record more podcasts, catch up with beer world mates old and new, and host an event with Wildflower and Garage Project, Will and James open the show with a look at the week on Crafty: a new Crafty Crawl via Melbourne's new Metro Tunnel; an entertaining tenth anniversary Brew & A with Young Henrys' head brewer; and the launch of Allday Brewing by the mates behind Forward Hops beer importers.Start of segments: 0:00 – The Week On Crafty 14:05 – Dean & Tom Part 1 44:08 – Pint of Origin Festival 2026 Promo 45:00 – Dean & Tom Part 2To find out more about featuring on The Crafty Pint Podcast or otherwise partnering with The Crafty Pint, contact craig@craftypint.com.
Hop Forward: Getting You Ahead in the Brewing and Beer Business
On the Hop Forward Podcast this week, we head to Wellington, New Zealand, by the magic of the internet to sit down digitally with Pete Gillespie, co-founder of Garage Project, for a deep dive into one of the most unusual hop-forward beers you're likely to come across: Sludgefest — a Radical Recycled Hop IPA brewed using reused dry-hop slurry.We discuss this unusual beer, how it tastes and the approach Garage Project takes towards creativity and experimentation on their beers, while keeping a consistent core range available to the average supermarket drinker.We also talk about their pickle beer (yes, you read that right!), their wild fermentation programme and how craft beer is considered ‘nostalgic' to Gen Z - the beers their mums and dads kept in the fridge.The discussion with Pete starts at 36:32.Nick is also joined this week by Will Rogers from Charles Faram, discussing the 2025's hop harvest, what to expect from this year's crop and how fresh isn't always ‘best'.THIS WEEK'S EPISODE IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY:Charles Faram & Co (charlesfaram.com)Supplying hops for over 150 years, Charles Faram offers a vast range of nitrogen-flushed hop varieties from the UK, Europe, New Zealand, and the USA.Crisp Malt (crispmalt.com)Since 1870, Crisp has blended tradition with innovation, producing malts like Chevallier Heritage and Clear Choice Malt.FOLLOW HOP FORWARDhopforward.beer | LinkedIn | BlueSky | Instagram

An SOS call has been answered in Wellington's hospitality sector. Local brewers Garage Project have stepped in to save Fortune Favours' bar and brewery from permanent closure after a decade in operation. The brewery saw a 45% drop in revenue over the past two years, even after taking home top honours at this year's Beervana festival. Garage Project founder Pete Gillespie told Mike Hosking they did such an incredible job with that space, it would be a crime to see everything ripped out. He says they may have more optimism than they should, but he feels like it's worth doubling down on the bar. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
More and more of us are reaching for low or no-alcohol beers. As the market grows, the options are also expanding – but brewing beer without alcohol fermentation presents a tricky puzzle. In traditional beer brewing the conversion of sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide through yeast fermentation is a key part of the process. How can you get the same flavour into beer without it? A team at Victoria University of Wellington, including the head of research and development at Garage Project, have begun an interdisciplinary research project to address this. They're hoping to develop a brand-new yeast strain, one that will recreate delicious beer flavours, but without the alcohol.Sign up to the Our Changing World monthly newsletter for episode backstories, science analysis and more.…Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details
Not much need for a description here. We had some pretty decent recording dramas. Although it's finally sorted, audio is not 100%.

Homogeneity is the name of the game in certain circles of brewing—from massive brewers who standardize their hop lots by blending before pelletizing, or hop companies that blend lots to iron out highs and lows in a particular crop year. But for Garage Project (https://garageproject.co.nz) and Hapi Research (https://hapi.co.nz)'s Pete Gillespie, that search for the least offensive middle way removes the incentive for everyone to optimize for quality, expression, and individuality that's core to the idea of craft beer. In their brewing program, and in their partnership to pursue new hop varieties, character and unique experiences are the name of the game, and they're putting significant investment behind the pursuit. In this episode, Gillespie discusses: using supporting hops to accentuate lead hop characters the impact of pick time on hop expression variations within single field blocks of hop varieties the dynamic shift in Nelson Sauvin over the picking window terroir's impact on hop flavors and aromas exploring diverse growing areas for hops in New Zealand surprise impact in this year's hops like Southern Cross the inscrutable challenge and benefit of Riwaka Hāpi Research's investment in developing new NZ varieties secrets of selecting Southern hemisphere hops And more.

A new report has found that beer makes up almost 1% of our country's GDP. Brewing accounted for $3.6 billion of our GDP last year and 1.3% of the national workforce is employed in the brewing industry, but alcohol excise duties often outpace inflation, and this is having an effect on the industry. Garage Project co-owner Jos Ruffell is calling for smaller hikes in excise tax to support the industry. "Our single largest ingredient cost each month is excise tax to the government," he said.

A new report has found most businesses are keen to invest in nature projects - but want easy and trustworthy ways to do it. The Sustainable Business Network surveyed 283 businesses of various sizes throughout the country about their attitudes to putting their money into nature projects. The findings include 82 per cent being keen to "do the right thing"; 57 per cent reported being asked by stakeholders to be more environmentally friendly; 68 per cent said the economic situation is hindering their ability to do that and 28 per cent said they didn't know which projects to support. As a result of the report the Sustainable Business Network launched its Regenerate Nature Programme in Auckland yesterday, aimed at connecting environmental projects with businesses looking to support them. Kathryn speaks with Sam Rowland, Sustainable Business Network's Programme Manager and lead author of the report and Pete Gillespie, founder and head brewer of Garage Project which took part in the survey and has been involved with various sustainability projects

Breweries are being forced to get creative and spend big money to survive a crippling nationwide shortage of liquid carbon dioxide. Since the end of refining at Marsden Point last year, the Kapuni carbon dioxide plant has been supplying the gas. However, it's shut indefinitely for maintenance. Co-Founder of small Wellington brewery Garage Project, Jos Ruffell told Tim Dower beer production relies on CO2 for cleaning, sterilising, and packaging beer, and to operate the taps the drink is poured from. He says the company has made significant investment in capture recovery technology, so they can re-use any gas naturally produced during the fermentation process.

The Space Turtle beers really kick in on this one. So blame Garage Project for what you're about to hear. Garz goes all wanky workshop in his garage; Baiting on Gumtree and the online marketplace minefield Garz cooks the mystery beers and turns into an Indian 4-Packer but Keelz comes to the Mystery Beer Rescue; Rebekah Tisch Shops that bring in Self Service Checkouts are encouraging questionable behaviour and Dad Jokes Garz likes to blame inanimate objects for his poor form. But serves him right for organizing his shed. Has a literal tonne of port, ruined port? Nathan King Overland: Americans who love Australia. Which has the desired effect of giving us something to talk about. Stay Tuned for The Tinsmen Do America. DISCLAIMER: We know nothing about America Self Love in the Telstra Tub - Brought to you by Slow Rollin' 4x4, and how Keelz was misconstrued. Which rapidly descends into some fairly depraved wank-talk. Non-alcoholic beer. I can't believe we're even talking about this, so we revist wanking again, which is only weird if you're not involved. Paulie lifestyle notification, smartwatch intervention and the Naked Rule. @thatsmyst0ry on TikToc to see whats got Garz tickled Still got stickers and a few shirts left in a few sizes so hit us up if ya want one.

New Zealand's population is smaller than the state of Colorado, but country's exports have had an outsized impact on craft beer over the past decade. From hops such as Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and Riwaka, to the cutting-edge thiol-optimized Phantasm powder, New Zealand has made undeniable contributions to the flavor evolution of American IPA over the past decade. Jos Ruffel, cofounder of the Wellington-based Garage Project, has had a front seat for his country's evolution from craft beer follower to craft beer influencer. An avowed geek whose pivotal beer experience involved Pliny the Elder, Ruffel and partner Pete Gillespie founded the brewery with Pete's brother Ian in 2011. Their goal was to tap into the creative energy they felt from influential independent breweries half a world away. Today, they've become creative drivers, pushing exploration with their local hops, developing new ways of creating signature Southern Hemisphere thiol-driven flavors, and embracing dramatic service strategies in public-facing events. In this episode, cofounder Jos Ruffel discusses: engaging with ingredients as any chef or brewer should bringing transformational growth to the NZ hop industry through the Hāpi Research center using less glamorous but incredibly important supporting hops in blends maximizing for thiols using a variety of brewing techniques thiol stability and expression in fermentation phantasm powder and the variety of ways to use it in the brewing process the entourage effect between thiols and terpenes the outsized impact of thiol optimization in combination with other hops considering texture and time in beer flavor experience And more.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”Today I had the absolute pleasure to talk with the Owner of Strider bikes and founder of the All Kids Bike Foundation, Ryan McFarland. Ryan likes to tinker with projects, which is actually how he started creating a balance bike for his 2 year old son. After the balance bike getting a ton of attention he thought maybe there is some demand for a product like this, which turned into the global success of Strider Bikes. Ryan talks about focus and sticking with what you are good at and where you're needed. When Ryan heard about the shocking numbers of decline in children learning to ride bikes, he took it upon himself to boil down the problem to the simplest solution, which was to get biking into the public school eduction system. Ryan started the All Kids Bike Foundation which teaches kindergarten and Grade 1 students to learn how to ride a bike during PE class. It has been a great success so far as they are currently implemented in almost ever state across the country which massive potential and wide reaching impacts. This was an incredible conversation and Ryan dropped so many knowledge bombs that I'm sure you will gain some value from listening and walk away with several nuggets of gold.
