Adam Gibb - White Brick Brewing

What this episode covers

This week on Beer is a conversation we hear about what happens when your dream of owning a brewery doesn't go to plan. Passionate homebrewer Adam Gibb opened White Brick Brewing in North Lakes north of Brisbane in November 2017 and closed it in July this year at the height of the COVID lockdowns. While COVID was the nail in the coffin, as Adam learned, things don’t always go to plan and running a brewery is fraught with challenges. It’s always a hard conversation to speak to someone who’s dream hasn’t worked out, but as you’ll hear, despite how it ended, Adam has no regrets about his decision to have a go. We discuss Adam’s original plans for his own brewery and how that compared to what happened, what he learned and also what he would do differently. It’s an important conversation for anyone who dreams of opening a brewery to hear. Our partners Radio Brews News is proudly presented by Cryer Malt.

And as a guest on Beer is a Conversation, Adam also receives a new piece of exclusive merch for guests on the podcast...a branded Yeti Rambler mug, thanks to our good friends at Yeti. Every chat show has a branded mug and so when Yeti approached us to be part of the show, the Rambler mug seemed the perfect partnership. This is me speaking, not a paid plug and I am a huge fan of these for their build quality and how efficiently they keep beer cold when I am camping and not that worried about having the perfect glass for instagram. And they’re a really cool thing to give our guests to thank them for being on the show.
