"A lot of customers are very concerned about their carbon footprint." For all the challenges faced by the beer industry, it's one that continues to forge ahead in many areas, not least when it comes to sustainability. Whether the focus is powering breweries, recycling or reusing ingredients, supporting organic and regenerative farming practices, or creating new and innovative ways of cutting waste, the brewing industry and those with which it shares a symbiotic relationship are often hotbeds for fostering sustainable practices. It's an area we've covered extensively on The Crafty Pint and, in this episode of our podcast, Craig Williams brings together a panel of pioneers from different businesses helping drive industries in a more eco-friendly direction. He's joined by George Wade, co-founder of UK-based Zevero [https://craftypint.com/news/3539/zeveros-mission-to-help-breweries-cut-emissions], which helps breweries calculate their carbon emissions, Tom Field, founder of Sydney-based Bearhug Pallet Wraps [https://craftypint.com/news/3053/going-green-bearhug-pallet-wrap], and Jonathon Buntz, from Ecogrip [https://craftypint.com/business/1422/ecogrip], producer of 100 percent Australian-owned and manufactured recycled plastic can holders. As well as exploring the genesis for each of their businesses and how they're helping customers operate in a more sustainable manner, they discuss the benefits to brewers, the challenges of persuading more businesses to implement new sustainability measures in tough economic times, and how business owners can take their first steps in this direction. Prior to the panel discussion, Craig is joined by James at Moffat Beach Brewing's Caloundra Production House (where they'd recorded a future show) to look back at another big week in beer – and that was before the news about Fox Friday's voluntary administration [https://craftypint.com/news/3754/fox-friday-enters-voluntary-administration] broke. The Akasha-Wayward unification [https://craftypint.com/news/3748/akasha-and-wayward-join-forces] and rebirth of Molly Rose [https://craftypint.com/news/3750/molly-rose-to-reopen-today-11-days-after-calling-in-liquidators] from liquidation, plus a recent post by Phil Cook on his Beer Diary site, spark a discussion about independence, its meaning and relevance, while Craig offers insight on Steve Jeffares' takeover [https://craftypint.com/news/3752/steve-jeffares-secures-the-former-home-of-deeds] of the former Deeds Brewing site, after working with him on GABS for four years.

"Balance is key for me in beer. I really love when a brewer can execute the balance between malt, hops and yeast." Dave Macgill is a brewer whose name will be well known to many in all parts of the Australian beer industry. For many years, he was head brewer at Tasmania's Moo Brew, just one of three people to hold the reins at the pioneering brewery across its 20-year history. These days, you'll find him at Deep South Brewing Co, the North Hobart brewery he launched in 2021 with some old mates. While visiting Hobart earlier in the year, Will and Craig caught up with Dave to chat about the Deep South story, his time at Moo, and his continued passion and optimism for the beer industry. Before the interview, James and Will talk about The Crafty Pint's recent Beer By Design features focusing on trends and the artists who bring beer cans to life, our Brew & A with Becky Centeno, and the Pint of Origin 2025 festival program launch. As ever, don't forget to submit your entries for our Have You Done A Rallings? celebration of the country's good beer citizens, as well as your nominations for Bluestone Yeast's Brewery of the Month.

In an industry with no shortage of hop lovers, Tom Shellhammer's interest in the wondrous plant goes further than most. The Professor of Fermentation Science at Oregon State University is an internationally-recognised expert in hop chemistry who frequently travels the globe to provide his insights into all things hops. Indeed, as this podcast goes live, Tom is spending a multi-month sabbatical in New Zealand in order to better understand the industry there. Taking advantage of his time Down Under, we caught up with him during the Chartered Institute of Brewing and Distilling's 2025 Asia Pacific Convention in Hobart. There, Will and Craig chatted to Tom about his fields of interest, including how terroir and the moment within harvest that hops are picked can impact the flavours and aromas brewers are able to elicit from different varieties. Ahead of the main interview, James and Will chat about some sobering recent news, with Molly Rose appointing liquidators and Currumbin Valley closing the doors of their Gold Coast operation for good. We also discuss the IBA's hopes and plans for the upcoming Federal Election, Pink Boots' mentorship program, and reveal the latest winner of our Have You Done A Rallings? campaign celebrating good beer citizens. Start of segments: * 13:30 – Tom Shellhammer Part 1 * 38:29 – Have You Done A Rallings? * 41:27 – Tom Shellhammer Part 2 Relevant links: * Liquidators Brought In By Molly Rose [https://craftypint.com/news/3738/liquidators-brought-in-by-molly-rose-founder-hopeful-of-fresh-start] * Currumbin Valley Closes [https://craftypint.com/news/3742/currumbin-valley-brewing-closes-up] * Indie Beer's Campaign 2025 [https://craftypint.com/news/3739/indie-beers-2025-election-campaign] * Pink Boots Mentorship [https://craftypint.com/news/3737/pink-boots-are-taking-on-mentors-and-mentees] * Meet The Hop Doctor [https://craftypint.com/news/2083/meet-the-hop-doctor] * Nominate a good beer citizen [https://craftypint.com/rallings] * Nominate a Bluestone Yeast Brewery of the Month [https://craftypint.com/bluestone] * The Crafty Pint's beer club: The Crafty Cabal [https://craftycabal.com/] To find out more about supporting the show or otherwise partnering with The Crafty Pint, contact [email protected].
