Beer tourism was back on the cards in 2024 in a big way – locally, at least, as we noted in our Year in Beer 2024 wrap. A number of new ale trails popped up, with those in WA's South West, Newcastle and the enhanced Inner West Ale Trail joining well-established ventures in places such as the NSW South Coast and Collingwood.Already in 2025, they've been joined by the Brookie Trail, which formalised the unofficial trek between the breweries of Brookvale. Not only is it the country's newest at time of writing, it has to be the easiest to take on: many of the venues are within easy eyesight of each other.To find out how it came about, what it's all about, and to learn more about beer businesses can work in harmony to bring visitors through all of their doors, we paid a visit, catching up with Freshwater Brewing co-founder Jonny Bucknall and 7th Day Brewery GM Joel Ridzuan (who had to travel an arduous 60m from brewery door to brewery door).As well as picking their brains about Brookie, beer tourism, and how they got the trail off the ground, we delve into their stories, the diversity the area's breweries bring, the challenges of operating as a small beer business in 2025, and what the local Macca's carpark needs to do to qualify for the trail.Prior to the main interview, we reflect on another tough few days in the beer industry. First, Brisbane pioneers Newstead Brewing closed their doors for good suddenly after trying to navigate years of endless unforeseen challenges; days later, Konvoy Kegs was placed into receivership after their main lender cut off funding.Rather more upbeat is the tale out of WA, where the founders of Funk Drinks Co. – best known for their ciders – have launched their first beer brewed with grains grown on their farm and malted locally too, while expressions of interest are now open for Sydney Beer Week, and you can still nominate for our second Bluestone Yeast Brewery of the Month.Start of segments: 9:17 – Jonny & Joel Part 1 31:00 – Rockstar Brewery Academy 37:36 – – Jonny & Joel Part 2 Relevant links: Crafty's Year in Beer 2024 Freshwater Brewing 7th Day Brewery The Brookie Trail Newstead Closes For Good Konvoy Kegs Go Into Receivership Funk Farmers Go Paddock To Pint Sydney Beer Week Nominate a Bluestone Yeast Brewery of the Month Rockstar Brewer AcademyTo find out more about supporting the show or otherwise partnering with The Crafty Pint, contact craig@craftypint.com.

Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen has approved a controversial offshore wind farm that stretches from Wombarra to Kiama on the NSW South Coast, ignoring fierce opposition from locals and environmentalists.     The proposed area covers 1,461km and will involve the construction of 300 industrial wind turbines, standing at 260 metres.   But several local and environmental groups claim the farm will impact the migration paths of up to 40,000 whales as well as affecting birds, increasing underwater noise, light emissions, vessel interactions, disturbances to the seabed and creating an electromagnetic field.    They are also sceptical of Mr Bowens claims the project will create thousands of jobs for the community. Spokesperson for the Coalition Against Offshore Winds, Grant Drinkwater, joined Luke Grant to discuss why the wind farm is “the most ridiculous proposal ever been put forward in the Illawarra”. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I'm speaking with Beau Dean Riley Smith. Beau was born on Wiradjuri Country in Dubbo, Western NSW. But as a little kid the family moved to Culburra on the NSW South Coast where Beau spent his childhood surrounded by siblings, love and chaos while growing up at the beach. Beau didn't learn to dance as a kid, instead he studied drama in high school, before being accepted into the performance program at WAPPA—the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in Perth. It was a transformative year in which Beau's world exploded, and led to Beau auditioning for drama programs across the country, including NIDA—but Beau didn't get in, and so, in a surprise move, and with no dance experience, Beau auditioned for NAISDA—and was accepted. In this extraordinary conversation, Beau reveals his journey to joining Bangarra, his struggles with body image and weight, and his difficulties accepting the Helpmann Award for Best Male Dancer which coincided with the death of his sister. We also talk about the gravity of performing on Country, the pride and pressure that comes with that, and, in an unexpected announcement, Beau reveals that after nearly a decade with Bangarra he plans to leave the Company and reveals who he's signed with next.Beau continues to perform with Bangarra, but after more than a decade will leave the Company at the end of this year to join the Sydney Theatre Company. For Bangarra tour dates and to see Beau's final performances head to bangarra.com.au, and for Sydney Theatre Company tickets it's sydneytheatre.com.au. And to continue to follow all of Beau's adventures, you'll find him on Insta at @beaudrsmith.Beau and I met and recorded in Sydney on the land of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation, to whom we pay our greatest respects.

For the first few years of their training partnership Robert and Luke Price worked individually- Robert at Turpentine Park, a spelling and pre-training property at Cambewarra while Luke was based at the partnership's Kembla stables. Circumstances have changed and the pair now operate in tandem from the racecourse. Rob joins us on the podcast to talk about the reasons for the change of format. Rob talks of his love for the NSW South Coast and the passion for thoroughbreds he and Luke have in common. He sees himself training horses long into the future. The experienced horseman talks of the extensive refurbishments being carried out at Kembla Grange currently. He says trainers are feeling the pressure but are excited about the future facilities. Rob talks of the unique premiership double he and Luke achieved last season. He looks back on an early aspiration to be a jockey and his apprenticeship to Nowra trainer Fred Thomason. Rob says he got as far as the trials, but the scales told him a riding future was off the table. He talks of the interim job he secured while sorting out his future. Rob looks back on the acquisition of his trainer's licence and a low key start in the business. He talks of regular trips to the Berry Showground where he would meet his mentor and his future wife. He and Patricia produced two sons and a daughter who have subsequently provided them with a big team of grand kids. Rob pays tribute to the family. The South Coast horseman looks back on the valuable tutelage given by his late father in law Kevin Robinson. He extols the virtues of an extraordinary trainer. Rob remembers his first win as a trainer at Kembla in 1990, and the lengthy wait before that first elusive city win came along. He pays tribute to a few special horses who helped to get him up and running as a trainer. Rob looks back on the professional riding career of his son and training partner Luke Price. He talks of a nasty accident which halted Luke's riding career in 2002, and the amazing comeback he made a year later. Rob says Luke still enjoys riding trackwork especially when his mount happens to be stable favourite Cuban Royale. The co-trainer pays tribute to bonny mare Jamaea, and reflects on some of her better performances. He talks of her recent sale on the Inglis Digital online auction. Not surprisingly we devote ample time to Rob's reminiscences about the ill fated Count de Rupee- the best horse to pass through the Price stables so far. He comments on the bizarre reality that both Count de Rupee and his Golden Eagle conqueror I'm Thunderstruck are no longer with us. Rob says Count De Rupee's deeds lifted the profile of the Price stable overnight. He makes special mention of the stable “war horse” Cuban Royale who's still going strong as a nine year old. The trainer talks of a recent affiliation with the famous Australian Bloodstock operation. He's optimistic about a Brave Smash two year old he's training for the syndication giant. Rob gives us a “heads up” regarding a couple of unraced I Am Invincible fillies he and Luke are training. He concludes with mention of the instantly recognizable Price stable colours. Some of his owners have taken the white and tartan theme to another level.

Luke Pepper joins the ranks of smaller trainers who only need the right horse to showcase their talents. Until Opal Ridge came along Luke had been achieving consistent results with average horses. Suddenly he's in the big league with last start stakes winner Opal Ridge, who'll contest the Gr 3 P.J Bell Stakes on Saturday. We go right back to Luke's early days in pony club and the wide experience he gained before taking out his own trainer's licence. Luke begins by talking about his reasons for relocating from Canberra to Scone in the middle of last year. He has high praise for the facilities offered by the Scone Race Club and speaks of the multi million dollar stabling complex already under construction. Luke talks of Opal Ridge's purchase from the Inglis Classic Sale at a bargain basement price. He talks of the amazing attitude displayed by the young filly as far back as the breaking in stage. Luke talks of her amazing growth spurt and the ease of her first win. He wasn't quite as buoyant the morning after her Canberra success. He takes us through her eight start racing career right up to the Darby Munro Stakes on Slipper day.  Luke heaps praise on young jockey Tyler Schiller, Opal Ridge's regular rider. The trainer says his talents were obvious in the Riverina. Luke's talks of his introduction to thoroughbreds during his time at Meringo Stud on the NSW South Coast. He talks of the foal born at Meringo destined to become a world class sprinter. Luke looks back on his time with Canberra trainer Barbara Joseph who'd already made her mark at Gr 1 level. He remembers with affection Barbara's top mare Ain't Seen Nothin'. He looks back on a short but successful stint as an amateur jockey. Luke talks of his time as stable foreman for Nick Olive and his reconnection with the special foal born on the Meringo Stud. He looks back on two memorable overseas trips he had with Takeover Target- one was a career highlight, the other a disaster. Luke talks of his entry into professional training at Thoroughbred Park. He talks of his unforgettable first win, and the horses who have helped to establish him as a well respected trainer. Luke acknowledges the support of partner Tahnee who landed the job she wanted soon after arriving in Scone.

To Victoria we go for this week's podcast with talented trainer Jason Warren who's based on the Mornington Peninsula. Jason was lucky to get himself a Gr 1 winner early in his career, and hopes to find another one or two in the future. He begins by acknowledging the talents of his smart 3YO filly Benedetta. He's also pretty keen on a three year old called Grand Pierro who was luckless in the Victoria Derby.  Jason talks about the decision to sell his lovely Mornington training property to Barbara and Barrie Saunders. He still works some of his horses at Denistoun Park. He describes his own training base right on the Mornington racecourse. Jason reflects on childhood days in Bega on the NSW South Coast and a very early love affair with horses. He talks of an early transition into the breaking of young horses. He says horse breaking was his primary interest early days and remembers his first job at the beautifully appointed Shipton Lodge at Cobbitty. Jason talks of his next move to Phillipa Duncan's Hardwicke Stud at Yass, the property where the Freedman brothers grew up. He talks of a two year stint at Eliza Park Stud in Victoria.  Jason looks back on his first tentative crack at running his own business. He combined racehorses with pre trainers and breakers on a property at Moorooduc. His first winner came along during this period. The Bega born horseman explains that he felt in need of further tuition in the finer points of racehorse training. He was lucky to gain a foreman's role with Lee and Anthony Freedman at Markdel. He remembers his association with Makybe Diva. Jason finally got serious about training in his own right. He talks about some of the horses to get him up and running. He obviously wants to devote extra time to his recollections of the classy Bel Sprinter- the horse to give him a Sydney Gr 1 win and an invitation to Singapore. Jason is frank in his summation of the “Baron Archer affair- a situation that saw him incur a huge fine. He says the only positive to come out of the regretful episode was his resolve to never make the same mistake again. He explains it well. The Mornington horseman is adamant that Brooklyn Hustle is by far the second best horse to come through his stables. Jason acknowledges the contribution of Pryde's EasiFeed to his training operation.

Gabi Thorn and Gabbie Gagne are the epitome of young, innovative, conscientious and hard-working entrepreneurs. Arriving on the NSW South Coast from the UK about 7 years ago, Gabi Thorn quickly spotted a gap in the market for an eco-friendly, sustainable, high-end housekeeping service, so decided she would start one. She wasted no time getting busy writing a business plan, cultivating a brand and getting word out about the business to the conglomerate of local holiday property owners, meeting her now Head of Operations Gabbie Gagne along the way. Flash forward to today and the business, which Gabi named The Clarity Co, employs 19 staff in various capacities and has gone from strength to strength. So much so that the ladies have recently established a second complimentary business, Late Checkout, providing a tailored property management service to owners wanting to be as 'hands-off' as possible. It was a total pleasure having a chat with Gabi and Gabbie earlier this week. I hope you get as much as I did out of today's episode.

Today I'm speaking with Beau Dean Riley Smith. Beau was born on Wiradjuri Country in Dubbo, Western NSW. But as a little kid the family moved to Culburra on the NSW South Coast where Beau spent his childhood surrounded by siblings, love and chaos while growing up at the beach. Beau didn't learn to dance as a kid, instead he studied drama in high school, before being accepted into the performance program at WAPPA—the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in Perth. It was a transformative year in which Beau's world exploded, and led to Beau auditioning for drama programs across the country, including NIDA—but Beau didn't get in, and so, in a surprise move, and with no dance experience, Beau auditioned for NAISDA—and was accepted. In this extraordinary conversation, Beau reveals his journey to joining Bangarra, his struggles with body image and weight, and his difficulties accepting the Helpmann Award for Best Male Dancer which coincided with the death of his sister. We also talk about the gravity of performing on Country, the pride and pressure that comes with that, and, in an unexpected announcement, Beau reveals that after nearly a decade with Bangarra he plans to leave the Company and reveals who he's signed with next.Beau continues to perform with Bangarra, but after more than a decade will leave the Company at the end of this year to join the Sydney Theatre Company. For Bangarra tour dates and to see Beau's final performances head to bangarra.com.au, and for Sydney Theatre Company tickets it's sydneytheatre.com.au. And to continue to follow all of Beau's adventures, you'll find him on Insta at @beaudrsmith.Beau and I met and recorded in Sydney on the land of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation, to whom we pay our greatest respects.

Lucy Wessell contacted Australian True Crime to tell her family's story about the unforeseeable and tragic loss of her brother Andrew - who is remembered by them as a kind and gentle man who loved his family, animals, and nature. He was a seasoned traveller who had friends all over the world. Andrew Drake was stabbed to death in 2019. Andrew, 29, died on the lawn of a house in Batemans Bay on the NSW South Coast, as his sister Penny desperately tried to save his life. The property where he was killed was the home of then 18-year-old Daniel Sharpe, who lived with his parents David and Julie.  Andrew and his sister Penny were invited over to the house for a drink - the kind of thing people do to get to know their neighbours. The night turned into a nightmare - resulting in Andrew's shocking death. Daniel Sharpe was acquitted of murder, but found guilty of manslaughter by a New South Wales Supreme Court jury.  It was a decision that shattered Andrew's family and Lucy wanted to tell her their story, especially about what the jury didn't hear. Lucy is speaking up for Andrew, so his killer's claims of what happened are not how Andrew is portrayed.  Homicide Victims' Support Group NSW - https://www.hvsgnsw.org.au/ If you have been affected by anything discussed in this episode you can contact: Lifeline on 13 11 14 13 YARN on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) For ad-free listening, early access and exclusive content, join Australian True Crime Plus on Apple Podcasts here: http://apple.co/australiantruecrime  CREDITS:Host: Meshel Laurie.

In this episode of The Remarkable Project Jay speaks with entrepreneur, community leader, and the acting Mayor of Eurobodalla on the NSW South Coast, Mat Hatcher, about why passion sets business up for success, how to immerse customers in your storytelling, and the power of language when delivering experiences.Mat Hatcher was born in the US state of Alabama, but left when he was 19 and discovered Australia. Today, he definitely qualifies as an honorary Aussie thanks to his status as the youngest ever Mayor of Eurobodalla Shire on the south coast of New South Wales, a region which is home to visitor favourite Batemans Bay.Prior to his appointment at the end of 2021, Mat was well known in and around the area for being an active presence in community affairs and support, jointly receiving Eurobodalla's 2020 Local Hero Award for his bushfire recovery work.Since 2003 he has been involved in managing bars and restaurants in the UK, USA and down under, racking up travel to over 75 countries in the process.  One of these trips, to East Timor, fuelled the creation of Moruya-based boutique coffee brand Guerrilla Roasters in 2018, with business partner Lewis McKenzie.  A strong ethical focus and hunger to go against the flow has defined the operation to date.Remarkable TakeawaysWhy understanding local culture is vital to competitive advantage in experience-first businesses such as hospitality.How building your business around a passion-point sets up a story that customers and partners can really connect with.The power of creating ambassadors rather than consumers, and the communal outlook you need to unlock it.Remarkable Quotes“If you think about what your customer goes through from the moment they arrive to the moment they pull away. And you really try to tick all those boxes. In the end you no longer have customers, you have family and you have ambassadors.”“Some of our customers want to hear this amazing story about this amazing farm in Columbia. That we do so much with the family. Some people just want a bloody flat white.”“Australians overall don't like franchises in my opinion. They like that story and they want to connect with the local business, or with any business. They want to know that story and feel like they're part of it.”Connect with MatFollow him on Instagram, Facebook and TwitterLearn more about his story and skillset via Linkedin
