This week we chat with Shawn Sherlock from Newcastle’s Foghorn Brewhouse.

In January it was announced that Founders First had invested in the brewery, buying out co-founder James Garvey’s share of the business.

Last week we heard from Mark Haysmen from Founders First, and this week we discuss the partnership with Shawn.

Of course, that’s far from all we chat about. In this episode, we go way back before the days of Facebook beer pages, before ubiquitous craft breweries to a time before craft beer was even called craft beer to learn how this aspiring academic fell in love with homebrew and changed his career course forever.

Enjoy the conversation.
