Matt Kirkegaard was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio. When he moved from Wyoming to Nashville to pursue a career in music, he lived in his car for six weeks while he figured out his next move. After that, he was homeless for 1.5 years, so he knows a lot about overcoming hardship. He now runs a successful real estate agency and has been named one of the Top 100 agents in Tennessee. We discussed one of the biggest strategies he used to start and quantum leap his real estate career, the value of being actively involved in your community, how he uses his music background as a competitive advantage, and his TV show "Selling Nashville". In addition, we discussed his LiftUp initiative where he donates 10% of his commissions to a fund that offers mortgage and rental assistance to Nashville residents in need. We also talked about his philosophy of hiring and the importance of staying connected to clients as often as possible. Finally, we discussed how Nashville is currently one of the hottest real estate markets in the country.

In this special Brews News Live, recorded at BrewCon 2018, Matt Kirkegaard chats with New Belgium co-founder Kim Jordan Since it's beginnings 1991, Kim has been instrumental in developing a business and a culture that has driven one of the most respected craft breweries in America. This chat covers New Belgium's early days, whether a business could start the same way today and still grow to the scale that New Belgium has achieved, notions of craft and also her views on the move to brand independence in Australia.  It's a great conversation with someone who thinks very deeply about beer.

This week on Beer is a Conversation, Matt Kirkegaard catches up with Richard Watkins, co-founder and head brewer at Canberra's BentSpoke Brewing. Richard can fairly be described as a craft beer pioneer, having brewed at the the famed Wig & Pen brewery for 17 years before founding BentSpoke in 2013. Regular listeners will recall we had originally planned to speak with Richard during our live Hottest 100 Countdown in January, but when we were scheduled to chat Crankshaft, their flagship beer, had not yet appeared in the count and he didn't want to miss the potential announcement. Today, with the passage of a couple of months, we talk about the Hottest 100 and what having three top 30 beers means to a brewery such as his. We discuss beer freshness, his struggles with the word craft, the importance of the meaning of the word independence and much more. It's a wide ranging conversation and Richard is well known for his deliberative approach and also his willingness to speak his mind, all of which make for a fascinating discussion. Enjoy the conversation.

This week on Beer is a Conversation, Matt Kirkegaard speaks to Ian Watson from Slipstream about why he choses to use brewed on and best before dates. Ian invites Matt to taste the difference between a fresh brew and a beer that is several months old. 

Pete Mitcham and Matt Kirkegaard are joined by guest host Pia Poynton from Girl + Beer to discuss the news of the week, including whether governments are sending mixed messages about alcohol. 

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, and by popular demand, we catch up with John Preston from Melbourne's iconic homebrew store, Grain & Grape. John began brewing with his friend Laurie Cahir in 1987. They soon migrated to all-grain brewing and soon had plans of opening a brewery. Commonsense prevailed and they pooled funds to open Southern Home Brewing in Edithvale in August 1990, only the second Australian Home Brewing business specialising in all grain. Grain & Grape has supplied and nurtured an assortment of current professional brewers and John's history and  perspective is fascinating.

This week we catch up with beer writer, brewer and now beer Forefather, Willie Simpson. Beer Forefather Willie Simpson[/caption] If you read about beer in the era before blogs, Willie was most likely the person whose words you read. Willie has been writing about beer since the late 80s and more recently been brewing it at his brewery, Seven Sheds, in Railton Tasmania. Willie joins us to talk about his recent collaboration with Stone & Wood for their Forefather series of beers, joining Phil Sexton in those ranks. Willie also gives us his thoughts on the current beer scene andall that went before. Willie's collaboration beer, inspired by Geoff Scharer's Burragorang Bock, is described as having a rich malt flavour that hints of chocolate and dark fruits, lagered for six weeks to make sure the finish is super smooth. In the pre-ramble, we discuss the Australian Craft Brewers Conference and the Craft Beer Awards, as well as Thunder Road's win in the Federal Court. In the post-ramble, Matt takes a potshot at Dan Murphys' / CUBs' hamfisted beer and food match ads that are less about actually trying to find a beer that matches a dish to elevate the enjoyment of both than shilling beers that go with everything only because they don't have enough flavour to clash with anything. In doing so, they manage to undermine efforts to actually educate about beer and food matching.

This week we catch up with Ben Waymouth, head brewer at Napoleone Brewers in the Yarra Valley.

As Hop Puns Run Dry, Craft Beer Trademark Litigation Heats Up Inside the food fight over catchy craft beer names Time to Grow Up: Beer Branding's Cleverness Deficiency We discuss draught beer on tap in planes but recorded before Men's Journal's takedown of the idea with more information.
