This week on the podcast we feature Charlie Hodgson, head brewer at Brisbane’s Helios Brewing.

Apart from having a long and varied career to discuss, Charlie also has some thought provoking insights about the role of beer’s four key ingredients and how they play in the rapidly emerging style pantheon of modern craft brewing.

It’s a fascinating conversation that probes at where is the substance amidst rapid change and the consumer hype that drives much that we’re seeing in the industry at the moment.

No doubt it’s a chat that will provoke quite a few thoughts, and as always, we’d love to hear what you think.

Enjoy this conversation with Charlie Hodgson from Helios Brewing.

In the podcast we mentioned this chat with John Hoedemaker and Aaron Heary from Gage Roads.
