In Part 2 of the Brewery Consulting & Quality Management Segment,  I chat with well known figure in the brewing community Steve Hendo from Rockstar Brewer. If you haven’t heard of Steve Hendo, he famously made his name in the brewing community as the founder of the BrewCult brand. Hendo did the gyspy brewing model for many years and built a massive cult following with his beers eventually developing a big core range exciting beer geeks all over the country with his innovate beer styles. 

Eventually things didn’t quite go to plan for Hendo with the BrewCult brand which he explains in more intimate detail in our chat, in which he then decided to take a step back from running a brewing business to just working in the industry, by having a stint at Stone & Wood as a shift production brewer. After finding his feet, and deciding on what next is in store for him in the Beer Industry he then began consulting breweries on best  brewing practices and quality processes for their beer production which gave birth to his current business Rockstar Brewer. 

Hendo does not hold any punches and is brutally honest about what it takes to open and run a successful brewery. He shares his mistakes, challenges and lessons learnt from his BrewCult days and he discusses the importance of Quality Management controls and processes for breweries and how he helps breweries both new and established to ensure high quality beer is being produced batch to batch.
