This week's episode, we catch up with Adam Robertson of Verdant Brewing.
This is the second time having Adam on the podcast, so if you haven't listened to the first one,
go back and get the first half of the Verdant story.
We continue where we left off, reflecting on the last few years and how after a meteoric rise,
you sustain, keeping the same level of engagement and excitement.

Welcome back, for a new season of The Thirst Time. The show that takes a deep dive into the careers and journeys
of some of the most creative minds in the craft beer industry.
For our first Episode back, we had the privilege of engaging in a captivating conversation with none other than Topher Boehm, the visionary lead brewer and founder of Sydney, Australia's renowned Wildflower Brewery.
Wildflower are a special brewery, they produce beers that take time and are built around the least interfered and best quality ingredients
Topher can get his hands on.
Wildflower Brewery is a brewery where time is an essential ingredient, and where the focus on ingredients and sourcing takes the highest priority. Each beer that emerges, is a testament to the commitment to excellence that Topher and his team embody and it was a real pleasure to sit down and hear more about the his and Wildflowers journey so far.

go solo.

Sophies story is an interesting one, after starting working behind a bar, falling in love with cask
and then becoming a brewer, she found she had an allergy to Gluten. This meant a revised thinking of her career path,
but after meeting Charles, owner & founder of Burnt Mill, she decided to carry on brewing, even if she couldn't
enjoy the fruits of her labour.
She is also the founder of the International Women's Open Brew Days, a project that is now global.
An incredible achievement and one that we should all be thanking Sophie for.

Hey Folks,
So… A little bonus episode. Maybe something a little different to the usual content, But, this issue, goes deeper and the hope is that we can use it as a stepping stone to create a more vibrant, positive, inclusive and warm beer scene. Which for us a brewery, is exactly what it's all about.
Breathing conversations is a project launched by our friends at Finback, that’s using beer as a platform to push forward the difficult conversations surrounding race, injustice and equality. Not only have they launched this as a global collaboration, they’ve also (and I’ll quote them here)
Pledged $10,000 to found BeyondBeer, a planned not-for-profit organisation with the
mission of engaging people of colour and the brewing industry at large to work on issues of
diversity and inclusivity for the long term.
We hooked up with Anthony Totten to talk about the whole project and a lot more
