Welcome to this BreweryPro Tradeshow podcast. In this edition, we meet Neal Cameron from Brewtique and also Warren Bradford from Fermecraft looking at brewhouse automation.  Over the last two decades the companies supplying the small brewing industry have grown and matured as much as the brewing industry itself has, and the specialised brewing equipment available has become much more sophisticated. The level of automation available is a great example of this.  Neal and Warren talk me through what is available in terms of brewhouse automation, how it benefits brewers and also where automation is headed.  You can reach Neal - neal.cameron@brewtique.com.au A full copy of the transcript is available here.

Recently on Radio Brews News we discussed the Sunshine Coast’s beer-focused campaign, through which the regional tourism body is promoting Queensland’s Sunshine Coast as a craft beer destination to encourage tourism to the region. It makes the cheeky claim to be Australia’s Craft Beer Capital. The campaign has sparked plenty of discussion in beer circles about whether the craft beer capital claim is reasonable but the point is, it’s sparked discussion about beer. It’s also arguably the most significant pro-brewery campaign that has been run by any organisation in the country. It also includes its own podcast series, Pursuit of Hoppiness. And that is a great thing for the entire industry, especially as it would appear to have spawned an “us too” campaign from South East Queensland’s other coast, the Gold Coast, which would appear to have put some resources into promoting its breweries since its beachy competitor’s campaign began. This can only be good for the industry. As such a significant campaign, we wanted to find out what the tourism body saw of value in the brewing industry where others have overlooked it. We also wanted to hear of the insights into the campaign, and importantly, how other brewing regions can engage with their local tourism body to drive interest in their breweries. We reached out to Kelly Ryan, the Sunshine Coast’s Head of Marketing for her insights into the campaign. Kelly is responsible for overseeing the organisation’s promotion and advertising efforts to build awareness of the Sunshine Coast and lure more visitors to the destination. As you’ll hear she has a wealth of tourism marketing knowledge, drawing on extensive experience with Canberra’s major tourism body and major national attractions.  There’s a lot to learn about beer tourism in this BreweryPro episode.

Welcome to a special episode of the BreweryPro podcast. Brewery valuations and investment in the brewing industry have increasingly become issues of focus for Brews News as breweries look to raise capital.  There are several ASX-listed brewing companies, and a number of breweries that have flagged their hopes for an eventual IPO. We have also seen the emergence and rapid growth of equity crowd funding that is pitched as an investment in the breweries undertaking that form of capital raising.  We have previously looked at brewery valuations from the point of view of those charged with valuing and selling these businesses, but in this episode we look at the issue of investing in brewing businesses. Scott Phillips the Chief Investment Officer in Australia for the Motley Fool, a website and podcast providing investment education and advice. We speak to Scott about basic principles for investing and investing in brewing and some of the factors potential investors should consider in deciding whether they are actually investing, or indulging in a passion. You can hear more of Scott through his Motley Fool Money podcast, and also The Good Oil with Scott Phillips. The information contained in this episode is general in nature and does not take into account your personal situation. You should consider whether the information is appropriate to your needs, and where appropriate, seek professional advice from a financial adviser.
