Organised chaos. Or chaotically organised. Take your pick. In the midst of phone calls to a hop supplier, you could be simultaneously checking on the mash temperature, updating the brew sheet, pointing frantically at the stack of boxes that are meant to be moved and nodding emphatically at some question you couldn’t make out but […] |

Who wouldn’t want to brew beer? Even better, who wouldn’t want to own a brewery? It’s been over a year since we launched and here’s our head’s up to anybody thinking of starting. |

It’s been stormy, cold and generally very wintery around the brewery – not much surprise there then given that we’re in the early days of January. But to every cloud there is a silver lining – the cold is great for fermenting our current beers saving us a few bob on running the coolers! Score! |

Thought it would be interesting for others thinking of starting up a brewery to blog about various topics. Today: Packaging for bottles! What should be a relatively simple process soon gets bogged down in self doubt, gets tied up in marketing and gets held up with lead times. |
