AUSSIE CRAFT BEER SCENE BRINGS SUDS BACK FROM THE BRINK
DAMIEN MARTIN
HOP TO IT!
It wasn’t long ago that beer consumption in Australia was at a 65-year low. Deservedly, the country’s wonderful wines have surged in popularity. Whilst wine still rules the roost in terms of production, a craft beer revolution has sparked a revival. Hundreds of microbreweries have opened in the past fi ve years, with enough variety and sophistication to make beer a perfectly acceptable alternative at your next wine and cheese party. These breweries have led the way.

BALTER

The name means “to dance artlessly without particular skill or grace, but usually with enjoyment.” Whilst the product certainly has caused baltering, there’s nothing artless about the craft beer Balter brew up. They took home Best International Pale Ale at the AIBA Awards in 2017, along with Champion Medium Size Brewery and Best Newcomer. The latest offering, Hazy, incorporates candied orange, mango, and passionfruit in a 6 per cent ABV hazy IPA.

BENTSPOKE

The brewers at BentSpoke have been busy, churning out more than 50 different craft beers since their 2014 founding. Co-founder Richard Watkins is a two-time Australian champion brewer, whilst Tracy Margrain has extensive brewing and cider-making experience. Their Into the Darkness manages to pack 10 per cent ABV with 61 international bitterness units, whilst their gluten-friendly ginger brew is crisp and sweet, with a kick.

MODUS OPERANDI

Opened in 2012, practically ancient by Aussie craft beer standards, Modus Operandi have a relatively small lineup, but what they lack in quantity they make up for in quality. Their Sonic Prayer IPA and Former Tenant Red IPA have both taken home three gold medals from the AIBA Awards. The founders spent six months scouring the US for the secrets of great beer before getting to business in Mona Vale.

How To Clean Up - Sanitary Franchises To Invest In

It’s a tangible part of this new world we’ve entered after emerging from lockdown. You can smell it in corridors and in shops, and it’s a selling point for hotels reopening. Cleanliness is godliness now, and there is a high demand for sanitary services for the foreseeable future. That makes a cleaning franchise a promising business opportunity. These companies offer it.

SOFT OPENING - CONSUMER CONFIDENCE A KEY FACTOR IN RECOVERY

As states and territories reopened their economies in various phases throughout May and June, it became clear that simply being open is not enough to get firing on all cylinders again. First, there are safety regulations limiting how many patrons a business can serve at a time. Just as important is consumer confidence. If shoppers don’t feel safe visiting a business, they’re not going to, and there’s no forcing them. Some services requiring intimate personal contact have an even harder time with this. Just because someone can get a massage doesn’t mean they’re comfortable with it.

COMING OUT OF OUR CAVES - LIFE IN PUBLIC AS RESTRICTIONS EASE

The pubs reopened to great rejoicing and some free beer as coronavirus restrictions eased across Australia, although unfortunately, it was too late for millions of litres of suds that had to be tipped down the drain. It was strange to be out, but it felt good once you got used to it. Rules vary by state and territory, but over the past several weeks, Aussies have been able to dine out, go to holiday homes, and gather in small groups once more. Lockdown isn’t lockdown anymore, but that doesn’t mean “normal” is back. Here’s where things stand.
