It's the third of our trilogy with Maz from Hawkers Beer and if that wasn't enough Nigel from https://www.we-love-craft.beer/ is back to talk about what's going on in the Australian craft beer scene at the start of 2024.

Nigel and Davydd discuss the end of Brews News, the best ways to market breweries and the effectiveness of the GABS Hottest 100 and social media campaigns.

Then it's time to finish off our interviews recorded with Maz at Hawkers just before the new year - accompanied by a truly fantastic Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged Strong Ale.

We learn all about the secrets of strong ales and white stouts, why Maz didn't collect his trophy from the Indies which wines and whiskeys he enjoys most. Before we finish off with an impassioned plea to support the industry.
