This episode we opened our doors, well, Nowhereman’s doors because we recorded this at Pia’s work, to Craig Basford from Adelaide’s Big Shed Brewing.

Actually, the full name is Big Shed Brewing Concern which is a Simpsons reference to the Osaka Seafood Concern.

“We don’t take stuff too seriously,”

“When Jason and I started this business, we were two blokes from an IT background with no commercial brewing experience, no sales experience and no hospitality experience, so we have learnt a lot of stuff from painful experience,” Craig recalled.

Almost five years on, plans are underway for a second brewery, a 30 hectolitre brewhouse and canning line, and the original kit will become an incubator site. The new brewhouse will give them a chance to keep up with the demand for their beers from coast to coast.

“I could fill my brewery with Boozy Fruit and still not get to everyone,”

Craig was in WA to visit the bars and bottle shops who are supporting him and also be a part of the Perth Craft Beer Festival.

“The people who do support us in WA, they’re fanatical, which is cool,”

Listen in to hear how the Big Shed story started, their love of the GABS and creating GABS Festival Beers, expanding into markets out of South Australia and why he loves beer.
