For stop two in The Year In Beer series for 2025, we take a trip across Bass Strait.Tasmania’s beer scene is one that mainlanders tend to have to watch from afar, with just a tiny handful of the dozens of breweries operating there sending beer off the island; indeed, many don’t sell anything too far beyond their own taprooms.The state’s brewing industry did catch the eye of the beer world further afield in 2025, however.

2025/11/26

“Little Creatures is iconic, and I think we'll always have that iconic status.”Ask people who’ve been working in, or merely enjoying the delights of, the Aussie beer world for a decade or more which beers turned them onto craft beer in the first place, and if any beer is referenced more than Little Creatures Pale Ale we’d be surprised, if not amazed.Little wonder then that Russell Gosling, head brewer at the brewery he joined two decades ago, uses the word “iconic” in this episode – timed to

Two Decades Of Moo Brew

2025/11/19

“You don’t have to reinvent the wheel to make good beers. That’s not to say we don’t try.”There’s little like Moo Brew in the Australian beer landscape, however you look at it.The brewery blazed a trail for craft beer in Tasmania and remains something of a figurehead for the state’s beer scene as one of the few breweries with a presence on the mainland. The unique bottles and John Kelly artwork on their labels marked them out as something different from the off – and that was before founder David

"We just like making full-flavoured, unapologetic, big beers.”There’s nothing in the Australian beer world quite like Seeker Brewing. The Wollongong operation was founded by identical twins Jeff and Curtis Argent, our guests on this week’s show, alongside mate Ben Boorer. Prior to running a brewery together, the brothers were in a band together, only denied their dreams of touring overseas by the pandemic.While their no-holding-back approach to brewing – whether that’s adding more hops to a beer or

Finding Balance In The Beer World

Jayne Lewis needs little, if any, introduction to anyone that reads or listens to The Crafty Pint. Following stints at many of the country’s brewing trailblazers, she blazed a trail of her own, creating Two Birds Brewing with mate Dani Allen, together going on to conquer the country’s beer awards while inspiring many other women to follow in their footsteps. Two years on from leaving Two Birds, she’s been carving out a new path, one focused very much on the human side of the food and drinks

Going With The Grain

“It's a big picture approach. I love it because our kids are going to have a future.”The phrase “more than the sum of its parts” shouldn’t really apply when the parts in question are as significant in their own manner as Wildflower Beer, Organically Greenwoodand Voyager Craft Malt. Yet there can be no denying that these pioneering operations are stronger together – their impact magnified by their ongoing collaboration.Since first discovering each other, the trio – respectively a brewer favouring

Brewing In Paradise

“The ethos was trying to provide that cultural shift and be a catalyst for that.”What’s it like brewing beer in paradise? Or, more precisely, in Exmouth: gateway to the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area that’s home to awe-inspiring, barely-populated beaches and an abundance of glorious wildlife that can make it feel like you’re living in a David Attenborough documentary.We sat down with Pete Firth and Justin Fuery, respectively co-founders of Froth Craft Brewery and Whalebone Brewing, to discover

"Our goal was always to showcase every beer at every brewery as if it was our own."Joslyn Erickson works in a unique but essential part of the beer industry. She runs Hop On Brewery Tours alongside partner Matt Farrelly, which the pair launched nearly a decade ago in Queensland. Back then, Brisbane had only six craft breweries and the Gold Coast was home to just a handful of breweries and venues where you could find anything other than mainstream beer.It means Joslyn has enjoyed a front row seat to

“I try to do as few things on purpose as possible.”More than a thousand brewing companies have launched in Australia since the turn of the millennium, but there’s been nothing quite like Evil Mega Corp.The one-man “worker’s-owned Utopia” is the brainchild of Rhys Lopez, formerly head brewer at Otherside Brewing, and it’s fair to say that in the world of Aussie brewers there’s nothing quite like Rhys either.It’s probably not worth trying to summarise the operation or the man behind it in these notes;
