Summer

Issue

t’s been an interesting few months for the beer industry with mergers

and acquisitions dominating much of the conversation. For many in the

industry, the announcement that Asahi had taken a 100 per cent ownership

stake in Mountain Goat came as little surprise – with Mountain Goat

contract partners with Asahi for three years, rumours of an acquisition

have been around for some time. Still, many craft purists will react with

dismay at the news that one of the standard bearers for the craft beer sector here has

been snapped up by a brewing behemoth. However, it is probably a sign of things to

come with Australia’s craft beer industry enjoying strong growth, albeit off a small

base, and overall beer consumption at a 68-year low, it was only a matter of time

before the large brewers tried to snap up a slice of the craft market.

While it is sad to see an iconic Australian craft brewery sold to a foreign-owned

company, congratulations must be extended to Mountain Goat’s Dave Bonighton

and Cam Hines who have done an amazing job with the brewery. They started

brewing at a time when craft wasn’t ‘cool’ or popular with hipsters and getting your

beers poured on tap at venues was nearly impossible. The craft beer scene today is

a completely different landscape and we have people like Bonighton and Hines to

thank for that.

To end the year we have a massive edition to keep you entertained over the

summer months. With nine out of every 10 beers consumed in Australia being lagers,

Jeremy Sambrooks investigates the style and discovers some craft brewers dedicated

to the art of lager brewing (pg18).

Summer is prime barbecuing season so, with that in mind, we look at two of life’s

greatest pleasures – meat and beer (pg46). Cider is a popular thirst-quencher as the

mercury rises, so we profile 20 ciders to

slurp over summer (pg52).

We have also put together the ultimate

beer bucket list with the first 50 of our

101 Beers To Try Before You Die

(pg36).

We head to the far corners of the

earth in the noble quest for beer and

discover some exciting, burgeoning

craft beer scenes in New Zealand (pg26),

Copenhagen (pg78) and Singapore (pg82).

As always, keep your feedback flowing

This is your beer mag so make it work

for you!

Cheers,

Annette
