Phil Sexton - Matilda Bay

What this episode covers

In the wake of the big news last week, this week we go back to drink from the well where the beer renaissance began as we speak with Matilda Bay and Little Creatures co-founder Phil Sexton. There are no hot takes just the considered thoughts on the industry from someone who has not only seen it all before, he’s done it all before. It’s a great chat where we discuss Phil’s view on craft, independence, the inherent demand for businesses to grow and the inevitability that they will sell. And his undisguised admiration for what the Stone & Founders achieved. We hear how he nearly brought Starbucks to Australia, but decided to create Little Creatures instead, and as ever there are many rabbit holes we fall down as we do.
