Today we meet Liam Pereira, recently appointed Head of Hospitality and Community at Sydney’s White Bay Beer Co.

Liam has had an incredibly varied career in the brewing industry. From pulling pints in London to working in a hotel bar with early craft beer aspirations, to working in bottle shops, to being a co-owner of Dave's brewery tours and Sydney Beer Week to working at Batch brewing and now his latest position White Bay Beer Co, he has seen a lot.

His career has spanned and also mirrored the formative years of craft beer. Liam was drawn to the passion and excitement of the industry’s early days but is also seen it mature and confront a myriad of challenges. This podcast really looks at what people in the industry have learnt throughout their careers and Liam is one of those people that can really talk about some of the lessons that are to be learnt comma and that he has learnt himself.

This week we meet Leanne White from social and market research firm Insightfully.

Leanne, or Lenny to her friends, is a former journalist and media advisor whose career has seen her move into the field of data research, especially in the area of public opinion. 

Her business, Insightfully, is an opinion and market research and strategy company. But, Lenny and her husband are also small investors in a brewery, Madocke Brewing on the Gold Coast and so has - to some extent - turned her expertise into an interest in data in the brewing industry. 

With all of our recent focus on ‘squishy data’ we thought it was a good time to speak to Lenny about what makes good data and how breweries should be critically interpreting the data that they have available to them especially when making decisions based on it.

This week we talk the science of beer with PhD Candidate Kelsey Picard, one of the founders of Science Made Beerable.

Kelsey’s scientific background isn’t in beer, but she is a beer lover and her developing love for it as a consumer tickled her scientific curiosity, and in doing so she has become an enthusiastic advocate for sharing the science of making it.

In this conversation we talk about what fired her interest, the challenges in communicating about science - and beer - and whether brewers are great at communicating about the things they make (spoiler alert, often they’re not) and also what can the brewing industry learn from science in a range of areas, including inclusion.

It’s a great chat about the magic that underpins brewing, and how we can communicate that to fire other people's passions from someone who communicates it very well.

This week we meet we meet mechanical engineer turned publican, Aaron Rigg. 

Aaron’s story is like many who have come to work in craft beer…fell in love with the products, become more and more interested with some mates and then, after a few beers, found himself as a part owner of a craft beer pub in Maitland. As you’ll hear there’s a little more to it than that, but there’s also a lot to the journey that Aaron has been on. 

Aaron is also a management consultant, and having spoken with him about his journey over the years and been impressed with his insights, I thought it would be a useful chat for others interested in getting into the industry to hear about the highs and the lows, and what he’s learned and what he would do differently. 

It’s a great chat about buying into the beer business, why you’d do it but also why you may not.

This week we meet Christopher Shepard Senior Editor of US publication, Beer Marketer's Insights, which has the tag line that it’s the leading source of beer industry information since 1970.

In this conversation, we look at the challenges the brewing industry faces and what it means for breweries. We discuss the differences between the US and Australian markets, which is important when Australian brewers look to the US for a lead. We discuss the challenges the brewing industry will confront in the face of the growing neo-prohibition movement and demographic shifts and whether no alc is the answer. We also look at what has happened to Bud Light over the last few months and what that says about beer consumers and also beer's ability to effect social change.
