For this episode, we sit down with Bryce Viskovich, creator of the Perth Beer Snobs Facebook group, and Guy Southern, Crafty Pint contributor and the man behind the successful Good Times Craft Beer Facebook and Instagram account.

Bryce credits an accidental discovery of the International Beer Shop six years ago, when it in its old location in West Leederville, for starting him on his craft beer journey. But it was trying Feral Tusk for the first time that led him to start Perth Beer Snobs. He wanted to create a community of like-minded beer drinkers who would share information that would lead people to discover more great beer.

Guy Southern also credits many of his early beer discoveries to the International Beer Shop but it was also a little underage drinking at Fremantle’s Sail & Anchor, enjoying Dogbolter and Redback that kicked off his craft beer journey. In 2014 he started his blog but now writes for Crafty Pint instead and uses Good Times Craft Beer on social media for a creative outlet and informative beer reviews.

We talk about the benefits of social media when it comes to finding new beers, how it’s changed the traditional purchasing decision-making process, the evolution of Perth Beer Snobs and more.

Thanks to Bryce and Guy for chatting with us and to Dutch Trading Co for letting us record at their venue.
