Radio Brews News is proudly presented by Cryer Malt. Cryer Malt is proud to team up with Yakima Chief Hops to bring the very best Pacific Northwest hops to Australian and Kiwi brewers. Yakima Chief Hops’ new proprietary hop Talus™ is bursting with big aromas of pink grapefruit, citrus rinds, dried roses, pine resin, tropical fruits and sage. Rumoured as the new Queen of Hops, Talus™ is available through your mates at Cryer Malt, so contact them to start taking your brews to the next level.

Brewing great beer takes time and is considered artistry by brewers. Polishing the art and expanding for the future is made easier with fluidic controls and automation of your processes, enabling more time for craft brewing density and flavours, instead of stirring the mix. This is where Bürkert can assist. Burkert supports their Australian customers with single cable technology, for future-proofing their tomorrow. Now that’s Smart.

We thank Rallings Labels and Stickers for sponsoring this podcast. Brewers, if you are still applying self-adhesive labels to your bottles and cans, and believe that this is a sustainable solution for your packaging needs, you may want to call Rallings Labels, Stickers and Packaging and discuss your options with them. The team at Rallings will walk you through the various options available to you, that are more sustainable than applying self-adhesive labels which don’t help the environment at all. Whilst they do produce self-adhesive labels for many breweries, there is a much better way to ensure that your carbon footprint is lower than what you are currently doing by utilising pre-sleeved cans. Give the guys a call on 1300 852 235 to find out more.
