Anyone that celebrated their 18th birthday in Little Creatures first year is now pushing 40. Over that time the beer industry and the products that it makes has changed drastically. The social approach to alcohol has changed, how and where we reach consumers who are younger has also changed. One of the most challenging and interesting topics to deal with as an industry.

Bronte O'Donoghue - Head of Marketing at Eagle Bay Brewing Co

Tom Jockel - Head of Marketing at Shelter Brewing Co

Meg Coffey - Social Media Expert at Coffee and Tea

But what makes a world class brewpub experience for the consumer? Is the brewpub just a hospitality venue with the same challenges as any other venue or has the role of the brewpub changed as the industry has evolved?

Emma Locke - Venue Manager at Beer Farm

Wine regions have been a source of pride for and a central focus of state tourism bodies for decades. In many ways the growing regional brewing communities have been overlooked as tourist draw cards. So how does the industry change this? How do breweries command the attention of state governments and tourism associations to bring new visitors to experience their breweries and drive tourism to those regions?

Today's panellists are:

Claire Savage - Savagely Creative

Josh Donohoe - Sunshine Coast Craft Beer Tours

Sabrina Kunz - New Zealand Ale Trail

As the 2022 Australian harvest draws to a close, beer drinkers will be getting to experience the release of 2022 green hop ales.

Interestingly, brewing with fresh hops is still a relatively recent development - or at least recently rediscovered development in brewing - but one that has great potential to educate beer drinkers about provenance and also the agricultural nature to beer.

But there is a lot for brewers to be aware of to execute a great fresh hop beer and that’s what this BreweryPro panel is going to look at, planning and executing a great fresh hop beer.

In this BreweryPro podcast we discuss the secrets to making beers with freshly harvested hops, we are joined by:
