A shout out to our friends at Kaiju beer who announced today that they are going i to voluntary administration -we’ve had some great times with them over the years on the show and even brewing with them back when we had the pub in the city. Fingers crossed that everyone comes out okay on the other side as they produce some of our favoritist Melbourne beers. We’ve had them on the show 3 times over the years (check the archives) and don’t forget you can learn more about the voluntary administration process, and the issues facing the craft beer industry in Australia in our latest two episodes with Maz from Hawkers.

Massive new episode!

It's the second episode of our traditional end of year celebration recorded live at Hawkers Beer with the inimitable Mazen Hajjar and there's some massive news if you listen carefully to this one.

NB - There's some pretty strong language in this one so if you're listening with the kiddies in the car you might want to wait till you've dropped them off at the pool!

If you want to sip some great Hawkers beer while you listen to the episode make sure to visit their online store here: https://hawkers.beer/collections/our-beers

We cover a heap of ground in this episode and there are some massive scoops about the future of the brewery, beers we can expect from Hawkers in 2025, the issues the industry is facing but also the things that make him inspired and excited for the year ahead.

Maz is also amazingly open about the voluntary administration process that the brewery underwent in 2024 explaining not just the mechanics of the process but also the personal impact of owning a business that goes into VA. And he also drops us a massive scoop about how the business will be structured in 2025.

We also discuss his favourite beers of the year, his thoughts on brewing competitions, pinstriped cans and the origins of Mediterranean Pilsners!

Make sure you listen in for Episode 252 featuring the audience questions part of the conversation which will drop soon!
