Then we kick off our discussion with James Breheny who has a truly amazing story to tell. His family have been brewing in Australia since 1864 and have worked at pretty much every major brewery you could name.

We hear how the family brewing bible made its way into his hands and how he has sought to reclaim the family brewing heritage while using his skills as a marketer to revive interest in recipes that are over 100 years old.

Both interviews with conclude in Episode 190 - available soon!
