This week, a cracker of a chat with one of the great characters of Australian craft beer, Willie the Boatman’s Pat McInerney.

This conversation covers how Pat forwent his dreams of documentary filmmaking for the lure of the money of reality television before realising his dream of opening his own brewery. We also learn the importance of local and community to a craft brewery and some of the surprising upsides of the Covid-19 crisis.
