In this episode, we delve into the captivating journey of Steve Jeffares, a filmmaker turned craft beer pioneer. Steve's story begins with a pivotal moment in 2000, when he experienced a beer revelation while living in Los Angeles. Upon returning to Melbourne, he, along with Guy Greenstone and Justin Joiner, co-founded The Local Taphouse in Melbourne and Sydney. These pubs not only introduced Australians to a new level of craft beer appreciation but also laid the foundation for what would later become the renowned GABS festival (Great Australian Beer SpecTAPular). From these humble beginnings, GABS has evolved into Australasia's premier beer festival, attracting over 55,000 enthusiasts annually across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland. Inspired by a year in New York City, Steve ventured into brewing, co-founding Stomping Ground Brewing Co in 2016. With its popular Beer Halls, Stomping Ground has revitalised Collingwood as a hub for independent brewing, harking back to the suburb's rich brewing history. In this episode, we explore Steve Jeffares' journey from filmmaker to beer visionary, tracing the evolution of craft beer culture in Australia and the impact of initiatives like The Local Taphouse and GABS festival. Join us as we raise a glass to the spirit of innovation and community that defines Stomping Ground Brewing Co and its quest to make great beer accessible to all.

With the size and importance that the GABS Hottest 100 occupies in the craft beer scene, we caught of with one of the poll's founders, Steve Jeffares, to hear where it all came and how it got started.

Ep 137 - A neighbourhood brewery bringing people across Melbourne together over a great beer with Justin Joiner from Stomping Ground Brewing Justin Joiner is a hospitality professional with more than 20 years of venue management experience here and in the UK, working in a wide range of businesses from fine dining to bars and pubs. He has been involved in the Australian craft beer industry since managing the first James Squire Brewhouse in the early 2000s in Melbourne. He was the venue manager of Melbourne's pioneering craft beer venue, The Local Taphouse for its first 8 years, and operations manager of GABS Beer, Cider and Food Festival before partnering with Steve Jeffares and Guy Greenstone to establish Stomping Ground Brewing Co in 2016. Justin's role within Stomping Ground Brewing Co includes overseeing venue operations, people & culture and external events and activations. In this podcast we talk about when Justin first fell in love with craft beer, how he and the Stomping Ground team supported their workers in 2020, how the range evolves and stays different, and their new facility to open up this year in Moorabbin in Melbourne's southern suburbs. Even if you aren't a craft beer drinker you will absolutely love this podcast and the generosity and humbleness that Justin projects.

Guy Greenstone is the Co-Founder of Stomping Ground Brewing Co., The Local Taphouse and The Great Australian Beer SpecTAPular (better known as GABS) - a key Australian craft beer festival on the calendars of brewers. It's here that the contentious ‘Hottest 100 Aussie Craft Beers' are announced. We explore the philosophy behind Guy's business, that underpins his independent Australian brewery, taphouse and beer festival - that almost didn't see a second year.

We hear from Steve and Guy, the two founders of GABS, the Local Taphouse, and co-founders of Stomping Ground. They tell us the story of GABS, and why they decided now was a good time to sell and move on.  

For our 12th episode I chat to Guy Greenstone, Co-Founder of The Local Taphouse, Stomping Ground Brewery and of course the Great Australian Beer SpecTAPular or more commonly known as GABS. He takes us right back to the beginning and shares the story of how they've come to run one of the top craft beer venues in the country, a leading independent brewery and of course a top 10 beer festival of the world.

The third and the final part of our conversation with Steve Jeffares and Guy Greenstone, founder of The Local Taphouse, GABS and the Hottest 100, amongst other things. We start this part finishing off finding out about the growth of GABS from the Local Taphouse to the Royal Exhibition Building. We then learn about the decision to open the Stomping Ground brewery and their key staff Ashur Hall and Matt Marinich. With their business relationship being so long and involved, I also ask these two different personalities how they work together successfully and what they have learned in their time together and what’s next. It’s a great finish to this conversation series with Guy and Steve.

Ten years ago the Local Taphouse opened and quickly became a benchmark for what a great beer bar should be. Over the last 10 years founders Steve Jeffares and Guy Greenstone have continued to evolve and innovate and, in Hottest 100 and GABS, have created some of the biggest things on the craft beer calendar. They have also had a few misses and over the next 90 minutes you will hear them discuss their successes and failures with great insight and honesty. We have split the interview up into three parts that break nicely into half hour segments looking at The Local Taphouse, GABS and more recently Stomping Ground. In this first episode we look at how they discovered beer and what inspired their interest, how they met, the inspiration for the Local Taphouse and what they have learned - and continue to learn - along the way. Enjoy the conversation.

We are hanging out at Stomping Ground this week and chatting to head brewer Ashur Hall, and co-founder Guy Greenstone. Many Australian listeners would know Guy as half of the team behind the Local Taphouse and GABS festivals. We get to the bottom of why a brewpub, why the name, and what the team have planned for the future. No show notes for this one, as it's all Stomping Ground. http://aleofatime.com/

Inebriation Nation Episode 18

Our enlightening discussion with Steve Jeffares, Co-founder of The Local Taphouse & Co-director of the famous Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular (GABS) was a real pleasure. We wax GABS, Taphouse history, excise, the changing bar scenes in Australia and more! 

This week Dave and I get censored by our producer; then have a wonderful chat with Steve from the Local Taphouse about Good Beer Week and the GABS festival here in Melbourne. We also discuss a range of interesting things from steak stuffed with oysters to classic arcade games, and a lot of beer inbetween

It's great to be back with Pete and in this episode we record live at the Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular. While Pete was busy hosting the Craft Beer College, Matt caught up with a range of brewers and beer identities to get their thoughts on Good Beer Week, GABS and life in general. Apologies in advance for the sound quality, this was recorded on the floor at GABS,. Apologies too for the repetitiveness of the intros to the guests and other things...we're learning as we go as you know. Our guests are: Ross Jurisich (Stone & Wood) Dave Bonighton (Mountain Goat) Jade Flavell (The Wheatsheaf, Adelaide) Jasper Cuppaidge (Camden Town Brewery, London) Andy Scade (Little Creatures)  Thanks to the Steve Jeffares & Guy Greenstone from The Local Taphouse, directors of The Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular for hosting us at GABS and letting us set up shop to record the interviews.

The gremlins hit the recording this week and a great interview with Jade Flavell from the Wheatsheaf and Steve Jeffares from the Local Taphouse was ruined. Rather than go without a podcast, we have repackaged a 2010 interview with Greg Koch from Stone Brewing explaining why he is passionate in trying to stop the grey importing of his beer. This interview created quite a storm when we first played it in November 2010 and many of our readers may not have heard it before. The story is relevant this week because of a story by Sam Fletcher that takes a look at Platinum Liquor, a favourite craft beer store in the tough Sydney market, but one that also proudly boasts of selling grey import beers, including Stone. Anyway, listen to Greg Koch and make up your own mind about the practice. Next week we will be back with our regular show. As always, for show notes and links head on over to Australian Brews News.

In a wide ranging discussion with Malt Shovel’s Dr Chuck Hahn, we take a stab at the thorny issues of tap contracts, some new Squire beers and the history of the James Squire brand. Portions of a discussion that took place after we finished the interview have been edited into the show as they were relevant to the discussions. These portions are those that relate to the Local Taphouse and the history of the Squires brand. They have been edited in to maintain the flow of the show and do not change their context or the nature of the discussion. We invited representatives from both major breweries to discuss this issue, as well as a number of small brewers, however Chuck was the only one willing to take up our offer. We thank Lion Nathan for being willing to discuss the issue. It’s a discussion that has plenty of life left in it and we welcome listeners to join the conversation on the discussion board below. I would welcome people involved in the brewing and hotel industries to get in touch if you would like to discuss your experiences and views on a future episode of Radio Brews News, or share them confidentially via email. As always, head over to Australian Brews News for more beery goodness.

As always, head over to Australian Brews News for more beery goodness.
