The Thirst Time - Todd DiMatteo - Good Word Brewing
It was great to have Todd from Good Word Brewing join us to brew a beer. Whilst we had him here, it felt a shame not to sit down and hear his story.Good Word is a brewery based in Atlanta, Georgia, not an area of the world you'd think cask beer could thrive, but Todd and his team are making it happen.Enjoy!

The Thirst Time - Bruce Gray - LHG
It's been a minute since I sat down with Bruce. We try to do a yearly check-in, but last year seemed to just disappear into the ether.So this year... a couple of months late, we got to it.We covered a lot of ground in this one: what failure looks like, BrewDog, and of course, the general state of the industry.Enjoy!

S5 - E4 - The Thirst Time - Luca Lorenzoni
This weeks guest is Luca Lorenzoni. Luca has had a really interesting career path, starting out with Ab inBev (the big guys) before becoming managing director at Camden then CEO of Northern Monk. For me, it’s Such a fascinating trajectory because Luca learned/got all of the tools from a big corporate entity before moving into a more independent & craft beer market. He wrote four really interesting (and I encourage you to read) articles that talk about the essence of what it is to be a ‘craft brewery’ and how to find a path forward. Heavy Emphasis on the Path bit there as that’s then name of Lucas new consultancy, where he helps smaller starter brands move towards there goals I loved this conversation, and hopefully there’s a lot for you guys to take away from it it Enjoy!
