I was privilege to sit down with the Australian Attorney General Hon Mark Dreyfus KC MP as well as Rame Abdallah and the Braeside Brewing Co a few weeks ago on behalf of the Independent Brewers Association. We discussed the current climate for independent brewers in Australia, focusing on the ever growing costs to raw goods and transport along with federal excise and market conditions. The Australian Independent brewing industry has grown leaps and bounds over the past decade with an annual collective revenue exceeding $1.9 billion. With over 650 independently owned breweries and growing in Australia, now is the time to get a true seat at the table. Our industry is one that thrives on people and community, with breweries like Braeside being pillars of their local area as well as safe places to enjoy high quality independently crafted products. Independent Brewers make up 51% off all beer employment domestically but make up less than 10% of all beer sold in Australia and operate in one of the most restrictive on premise beer markets on the planet. That's why meetings like this are so important, to not only shed light on what we do but start important conversations to ensure a future for this great industry.

Support your BC local breweries if you want them around. "The cost of operating a brewery has skyrocketed, but our customer base has not. There are more than 230 of us in BC, competing for a finite amount of liquor store shelves and tap lines. The prediction is that over 20 per cent of us will go under before the end of 2025... Market saturation and customers cutting down on alcohol are reasons that get thrown around a lot for the current state of the industry—and while these definitely play a factor, the big thing that’s likely going to get many breweries out there is the sheer cost to own one." https://lnkd.in/g8iFZcwb Jorden Foss Steel & Oak Brewing Co. #beer #beerindustry #brewery #bcbreweries
