Western Australia's brewing scene, with writer Guy Southern
Manage episode 496084688 series 2423670
We’re joined this episode by West Australian beer writer and retailer, Guy Southern, winner of the Beer Media prize at the Australian International Beer Awards 2025.
Guy may be familiar to you from his regular reporting for The Crafty Pint, where he’s covered the West Australian beer scene for well over a decade.
And he was also lead researcher and writer for a mini-documentary on WA beer history that screened on a loop at the Liquid Gold: A Taste of WA Brewing History exhibition, held last year at the State Library of Western Australia.
Coming up, Guy shares how the project reshaped his own understanding of WA beer history — particularly in uncovering early examples of brewing that predate much of the accepted historical record.
We revisit how WA sparked the first wave of Australian craft beer, as well as finding out how the local industry is faring today, and getting some of his recommendations on the breweries and beers we should be keeping an eye out for in years to come.
