This week on Beer is a Conversation we have a chat with one of the great characters of the Australian brewing industry, Tom Delmont.

We have had Tom on the show before about how he became brand ambassador for Mountain Goat, introduced the man who would become The Crafty Pint to Australian beer and founded Fixation Brewing.

We recorded this episode the day before Fixation’s Melbourne home, The Incubator, opened it’s doors and we speak to Tom this time about why his brewery needed a home, how they will manage the relationship with their client pubs and whether they are competitors and also the evolution of IPA in all its forms.

Enjoy the conversation.
