New Beginnings, Italian Adventures & Trans-Pacific Collabs

It's all change at The Crafty Pint Podcast. Well, if not all change, then certainly a fair bit of it in terms of format, scheduling and frequency.

From this week's episode onwards, you can look forward to 50 percent more shows as we instigate an evolution that's been on the cards for some time: splitting the opening "Week On Crafty" segments into one show, and the giving the long-form interviews and panel discussions their own space.

Thursdays will now be a Weekly News show focusing on the ups, downs, ins and outs of the beer world, while every other Tuesday – starting on October 6 – we'll run extended features. Will and James explain the rationale in the opening half of this week's show, but it's a format we've trialled with sibling podcast, The Full Measure, and found makes a lot of sense.

As for the "news" part of this week's show – after we've heard about Will's honeymoon in Italy, of course – we reflect on King River's rebirth [https://craftypint.com/news/4223/king-river-lives-on-for-now-new-venue-and-brand-in-pipeline] and upcoming plans, Young Henrys' move [https://craftypint.com/news/4229/young-henrys-to-move-into-mountain-goat-s-former-newtown-brewpub] into Mountain Goat's former Newtown brewpub, the launch of a new brewery in the Northern Beaches, some trans-Pacific collabs [https://craftypint.com/news/4227/blackmans-bring-their-west-coast-road-trip-home], and a follow-up of sorts [https://thepoint.com.au/opinions/260926-hops-and-robbers-why-australian-beer-needs-tax-reform] to last week's election pledge in Victoria.

Make sure to look out for / mark your diaries so you don't miss Tuesday's chat with the delightful Rob and Bron Kabboord, and we'll be back with the next Weekly News – possibly with a guest host – on Thursday.
