The third of our Year In Beer 2024 podcasts finds us on home turf as we turn our attention to Victoria. It's undoubtedly been a tough year for many there, something that became very apparent when we started totting up the voluntary administrations, sales and closures from the past 12 months. Hospo trade has been down and suffered accordingly too, yet there's also been much to enjoy and plenty to celebrate, from great beers, new breweries and venues, to successful events and more.Joining Will and James to cast an eye over the year are Cherry Murphy and Jimmy Krekelberg. Cherry spent ten years with Blackhearts & Sparrows, many of those as the indie retail chain's beer buyer, curating their range, hosting diverse events, and putting together a number of fascinating collaborations.Jimmy is the founder and head brewer of Good Land Brewing in Traralgon, a brewery he founded after plying his trade at a number of breweries overseas. While his lager is their biggest seller, he's garnered a reputation as a brewer of some seriously out there and creative beers too, from voluptuous smoothie sours to hefty imperial stouts.As part of their chat about the year in beer in Victoria, Will and James also discuss this week's opening of Sailors Grave's Dunetown home in Gippsland, three years after they unveiled their plans.Start of guest segments: 23:32 – Cherry Murphy 33:41 – Jimmy Krekelberg The Crafty Pint's 2024 Year In Beer series is proudly presented by Mogwai Labs, leaders in liquid yeast solutions.

Should we be tipping in New Zealand?  The question has arisen once more with a new proposal to encourage the practice in the hospo sector.  Kevin Milne has been thinking about the proposal, and he's not sure about the idea.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Retail spending is lower than during the GFC. Retailers are going to the wall more than any other business and Retail NZ's latest survey shows 43% of businesses are unsure they'll survive another year. In hospo, a swathe of high-profile restaurants have shuttered and last year - for the first time in two decades - the number of cafes and restaurants was lower than the year before. We assembled some of the sectors' most brilliant brains to work out what went wrong, how we fix it and the prognosis for the future. They are fashion icon Kate Sylvester, hospitality legend Luke Dallow and designer Jessie Wong - a member of the Wellington Mayor's new business advisory group. On the agenda: skyrocketing rents, transport woes, how the Government can help, the power of big events and whether New Zealand should become a tipping economy.

The number of cafes and restaurants has gone backwards for the first time in more than 20 years according to stats NZ. It's a small drop...to 8958 cafe and restaurants…But that's almost twice as many as in 2000...    Economist Shamubeel Eaqub says there are still too many hospitality businesses in tough economic times like today.    Chef and restaurateur Al Brown told Heather du Plessis-Allan all the people who are operating would think we have too many.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite feeling the brunt of the current economic climate, figures suggest the hospitality industry is seeing some growth.  The Restaurant Association suggests that the industry saw $15 billion in annual sales, a growth of 5.8%.  More Kiwis seem to be eating out, and one way they're doing so is with First Table, a scheme that gives consumers half price fares when dining at off-peak times.  Founder and CEO Mat Weir told Mike Hosking that over half a million people have signed up on the website or app over the last decade.  He said that some restaurants are doing well and others are struggling, and they're focused on helping restaurants solve a small part of their problems.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After working at Ottolenghi, in London, Ben Avramides co-founded the Tommy Collins Group in 2007 - with the intention of providing end to end catering. Now, over 16 years later, he leads the group as Managing Director and has contributed to countless Victorian venues - from iconic Melbourne pubs and cafes and major events.  One thing that's clear is Ben's passion for hospitality. With this in mind, he tries to bridge quality and commerce with innovative food experiences. 

James Sinclair, CEO & Principal of Signature Hospitality Group (SHG), joins the program today. SHG is the company behind The Sporting Globe Bar & Grill, TGI Fridays and Varsity.  Over a decade ago, James saw an opportunity to double down on the American sports bar concept in Australia and has grown the business from a single venue in Geelong, to a network of over 50 venues and 2000 staff. We explore the philosophy required to do that, discuss how the group fosters creativity and consider how technology will affect the future of hospitality and sports entertainment.

Momentum is expected to continue building in the country's hospitality industry as demand to own a business soars.   Enquiries from potential hospo owners are nearly twice that compared to 2019, and historic levels of confidentiality agreements are being signed.   This demand is mainly driven by new arrivals.   ABC Business Sales Managing Director Chris Small told Mike Hosking that a lot of migrants see owning a business here as a way they can control their own destiny.    He says they also feel the harder they work, the better they'll go, rather than being subscribed to a salary where they're put in a box.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Saltsmith is the brainchild of Simon Lawry and David Ball, two friends with a vision to show Australian consumers what's possible with a rasher of bacon.  While working full time jobs, the two have harnessed Simon's hobby of making charcuterie to commercially produce bacon - chosen out of personal interest and early customer feedback.  Now - around three years later - the pair produce three types of commercial streaky bacon - including one in collaboration with the Starward Distillery. 

Chef attends sushi chef institute in California - opens up pop up in Hamburg. A love story about cooking, spearfishing, building a better life, and travelling - all while being in a travelling kitchen.  It's 2023, toxic kitchen vibes are out. Being drunk on a chartered yacht and yelling at your chef to bake you a cake - out. Taking a phone call before walking into a cafe and ignoring your barista - bye bye. Coffee robots taking over the world, pouring swans and 70 tiered rosettas and tulips -  giving baristas the boot? Please no. Perhaps 2023 is the year of reflection, hitting the pause button to revaluate, reassess and address.  Identify the gaps, hype yourself up, and lean into your skills and interests to add value in an automised and bland world.

"People will always eat and drink, no matter where you are. If you take that into perspective and offer hospitality all around the world from different cultures, you can use it anywhere you want." Hubert is a multifaceted chef who has worked here there and everywhere. Starting at an apprenticeship in Hamburg from 18-21, he formed a high standard and tempo, and a resilience from working in such an intense environment. Since then, he's worked everywhere from fine dining, casual dining, private cheffing at the Australian Grand Prix, working on pearl boats, lobster picking in Chatham Islands, private cheffing on yachts, becoming a professional spear fisherman and chartering spear fishing adventures in Indo, and adapting a new tranquil approach to his hospo career. His latest achievement was completing  sushi making education and mastering Japanese cuisine at the Sushi Chef Institute in California led by Chef Andy Matsuda.  All of these components have led into the creation of his brand and business: Sushybyhu. In this first part, Hu takes us through his history and backstory on how he was able to travel the world with practically nothing, and still find himself cheffing in some amazing places. We'll touch on Sushibyhu, creating content, and as always, why we love hospo. Be sure to tune into Part 2 of this episode on Friday Jan 27 at 1pm EST.

Albert has a severe love for coffee which has led him to open up a coffee shop : Daily Daily. I don't even like calling it a 'coffee shop' because the name alone feels unjust. Walking into Daily Daily, you feel an instant wave of tranquility wash over you. It's one of the few places in Auckland that prides themselves on bringing in imported coffee from all over the world. He's also created a super warm and inviting space with the idea of giving him a place to come in after dentistry, to relax and make coffee. Sounds dreamy, right? It is. Albert is also a dentist! How this man finds the time to do both - is beyond me, but it sounds like he's got a daily routine that i'm pretty jealous of.Albert and I talk about the coffee culture differences between New Zealand, Taiwan, and America, and we both fan girl over some of the coffees he's bringing in from overseas. We discuss how coffee brings people together, and discuss the importance of making people at all levels feel welcome when it comes to specialty coffee.  Be sure to check out Daily Daily, located at 452 Karangahape Road. PS. He's about to bring in some Onyx Coffee Lab, so.. better get in quick to snag a brew! Support the show

Think - Italian food meets fever dream.. but in a damn good way.  Throughout all of my interviews, Coco's Cantina has been brought up multiple times for Damaris and Renee's hospitable vibes, and the care and love they share to their community. There is no place like Coco's and you can't beat this place on a Friday night for Happy Hour. Renee and I chat about how she found herself in hospo at 15, and stuck with it. At first it was a way to buy a pair of Dr. Martens, and she was pleasantly surprised to find she had fallen in love with the industry. The common long-lasting love affair that is hospo. Support the show

Co-Founders of FELLR, Andy Skora and Will Morgan join the program and share a fresh angle on the beverage world. In the highly competitive space that is seltzers, these two are doing incredible work to stand out. Both bring global experience from iconic beverage brands - like Red Bull, Jameson and Absolut - and each have spent time working with Pernod Ricard (as the astute listener will recognise with those brands). Through FELLR, they're striving to create something new and different to innovate in the fast-paced seltzer market.
