This week Pete, Matt and Zoe get together in Melbourne during Good Beer Week to record this week’s news roundup.

As much as we wanted to avoid naming the Scottish Brewery, they again make it impossible, this week accused of stealing marketing ideas. We discuss with Zoe the challenges of being a creative pitching for work in the beer industry and also BrewDog’s response to the allegations. We mention this article on action the EU has taken about anti-competitive practices in Europe.

We also look at ABInBev’s plans to spin off its Asia Pacific operations and list them on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and what the application documents reveal about the brewing giant’s Australian operations and the local market.
