Davydd and Rusty from the Court House discuss what it's like to try to renovate a North Melbourne institution, what the teams vision for the new venue is and share what is perhaps the most wholesome coolroom tale that we've ever heard!

Then Davydd and Warren start their chat with Ross from Bacchus Brewing. We hear about the brewery's long history at the point that they are about to move from tiny flexible systems [capable of brewing 12 different beers a day] to a more industrial scale with all the highs and lows that that brings.

We learn how he brews and blends some of the legendarily big beers for which the brewery is famed and how a whole team of palates is needed to perfect them.
