This week we continue our tour of the Sunshine Coast with a visit to the region’s latest brewery – Heads of Noosa.

We catch up with Craig and Lance Masterton, who gave up stock trading to open their brewery in Noosa. And it’s no bootstrap operation either, they have made a significant investment in what they are doing.

Unlike many craft breweries, they have opened with a Japanese lager, that’s light and crisp and the samples we tried we very well made.

We talk about their backgrounds, the place they see for a craft lager brewery and especially how they see they will compete again both the scale of the large lager breweries and also the many craft breweries on the Sunshine Coast that are seeking to push the bounds of flavour.

Enjoy the conversation.

Once again, we thank Josh Donohoe from Sunshine Coast Craft Beer Tours for putting together our tour.
