This week's long-form episode is a syndication of a panel discussion Trevor hosted with on the 6ix platform earlier in the week titled, "How a Strong Gold Market May Impact Juniors in 2024." On the panel, Trevor took to a conversation with 3 different CEOs, including Luke Alexander of Newcore Gold, Brian Skanderbeg of GFG Resources, and James Atkinson of Advanced Gold Exploration. In the conversation, I pose a number of different questions to the group about a nature of new capital finding a home in junior exploration equities. Despite a rising gold price, the volumes in exploration stocks remain subdued. When will this change and why do investors remain on the sidelines? Along with these important questions, we also tackle inflationary risks on exploration teams and their access to financings.

This week Matt has a very personal conversation with Chuck Hahn.  Chuck is no stranger to our listeners and has graced this podcast a number of times over the decade plus we have been doing it.  However, late last year Chuck quietly retired from Lion. We wanted to have one more chat with Chuck (we don't want to call it the last, we are hoping we can lure him back from time to time) because there have been few larger influences over the Australia brewing scene, or more passionate ambassadors for beer.  If you would like to know more about Chuck's stellar career, check out James Atkinson's excellent documentary podcast on Chuck recorded to celebrate his 50 years in brewing.

The total business covers 450 square metres with 180sqm dedicated to the bar, kitchen and mezzanine area. The space is designed by Sydney's Steel & Stitch and Sara Mathers from the UK, working together to create a New York warehouse-style bar beside an active distillery. As you'll hear in this episode, some of the other details are still under wraps. I did what I could to get as much info as possible for you.

This week on the podcast, hosts Brad and Sarah interview Dr. James Atkinson, a physician and expert on Civil War medicine, about the experience soldiers had in field hospitals like Carnton.

This week on Beer is a Conversation, James Atkinson and Pete Mitcham are joined by Steve Carpenter, Chief Operations Officer at Yakima Chief-Hopunion, a global hop supplier headquartered in Yakima USA.  His family has been growing hops in the Yakima Valley since 1869, so it's fair to say the business of hop growing is in his blood. He talked about current trends in the hop sector and the challenges facing growers in a rapidly evolving craft beer market. Enjoy the conversation. 

This week on Beer is a Conversation we have the last interview from our recent swing through Sydney' inner-west breweries and feature our conversation with Steve Drissell of Sydney's Staves Brewery. Hidden away in a back alley in Glebe, Staves is one of Sydney's more unique brewery venues, featuring English-style pub atmosphere and a live performance space that is well known on the city's music and comedy circuit.  Staves has continually impressed with its idiosyncratic line-up of beers, which are made on a tiny and somewhat makeshift brewery, showing stylistic influences from all over Europe and America. Matt Kirkegaard and James Atkinson visited the brewery late last year to catch up with Steve, who left his career in the corporate world to follow his dream of opening Staves. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

This week on Beer is a Conversation we have our second last interview from our series of interviews in Sydney's inner West. This time our conversation is with Mick Bain of Sydney's Royal Albert Hotel. A longtime hospitality professional, Mick bought the Albert in 2011 and has since turned it into one of Australia's top craft beer venues. A passionate advocate for independently brewed beer, Mick has also recently taken a minor stake in West Australian brewery Beer Farm. He's never short of an opinion, so Pete Mitcham, Matt Kirkegaard and James Atkinson took the chance to get some of his insights on our recent Sydney tour. Enjoy the conversation.

This week on Beer is a Conversation we join Matt King and Glenn Wignall of Sydney's The Grifter Brewing Company in their brewery bar in Enmore, Sydney. Starting out in 2012 as a gypsy brewer, The Grifter has since opened its own brewery and taproom where the guys are turning out some great beers in what is undoubtedly one of the country's most visually appealing venues. Matt Kirkegaard, Pete Mitcham and James Atkinson visited just before Christmas to find out a bit more about The Grifter's journey to date, their upcoming plans, and of course their views on recent industry developments. Enjoy the conversation... You can send feedback and suggestions here. In return, we'll send you a Brews News bottle opener. You can donate to the podcast here.

This week on Beer is a Conversation, James Atkinson catches up with Will Tatchell, founder of Van Dieman Brewing in Northern Tasmania. Founder and Head Brewer, Will got into brewing as a distraction during University years, whilst studying Agricultural Science, and came to see the brewing industry as an extension of the primary industry he'd grown up in. Upon completing university, he sought further experience in the brewing sector and travelled to the United Kingdom to immerse himself within the history rich brewing sector. Returning to his home he started planning for his brewery in 2007 and launched in 2009. Will's experience and passions have recently merged in Van Dieman's Estate Ale beers, brewed with malt, water, hops and yeast grown on the family farm in Tasmania, which is unique not only in Australia but globally.  Enjoy the conversation.

This week on Beer is a Conversation we play an interview James Atkinson recorded recently with Ken Stout and Dave Tohtz of Goose Island Brewing. Both Ken and Dave have been with the Goose Island business since before it was acquired by the world's largest brewer, ABInBev, in 2011. A longtime beer industry professional, Ken joined the Chicago brewer as regional sales director in 2009, eventually becoming its president and general manager in 2015, and more recently, the president of its international division.  The new role gives Ken oversight for the ambitious international rollout of the Goose Island brand by ABI. Dave Tohtz meanwhile notched up his tenth year as a brewer at Goose Island during 2017. Dave and Ken have been in Australia over the last fortnight for Goose Island's Migration Week campaign and I caught up with them at Two Birds Brewing's The Nest in Melbourne for an all-encompassing chat about their time at Goose Island, the changes they have witnessed since ABI took over and their impressions of the Australian market. Full disclosure, Goose Island has done some advertising around the Migration Week initiative on the Brews News website, but this interview was done completely separately. Enjoy the conversation.

On Radio Brews News the Brews News editorial team discuss the beer news of the week. This week we welcome back editor James Atkinson and hear a little about his travels through Japan as well as his visit to Melbourne for Goose Island's Migration Week activities.

James gives some insight both into Goose Island's plans for Australia and also Coopers has run the ruler over a number of craft breweries with a view to making a purchase themselves. And much, much more.

This week in Radio Brews News, Matt and Pete discuss all the beer news for the week ending 8 July. We discuss: Independence Day – the launch by the Independent Brewers Association of their Independent Brewing Industry National Economic Evaluation. Matt and James Atkinson also caught up with IBA Executive Officer, Chris McNamara. We discuss this quote from 4 Pines' Jaron Mitchell: “I think it's one of the stupidest things I've seen. There's no industry on the planet that has benefited from artificial relief from a government. Essentially, it creates a vacuum for inefficient people who are wasting resources to get a $350,000 rebate. If you can't run a brewing business based on fundamental economics, you shouldn't be running a brewing business.” The Great Northern Hotel / Holgate kerfuffle. Should bottleshops limit the sale of single beers, and force drinkers to buy four packs? Drinkers get fresh with US brewers: American craft brewers have copped another hiding for their perceived lack of commitment to ensuring their beers reach Australian drinkers in the same optimal condition they demand at home. Including a reference to our past interview with Greg Koch from Stone. ABI's The High End craft division responds to the Brewers' Association's Independence Seal.
