Part 2 of our 3 episode segment on Brewery Licensing & Government Compliance. Today’s episode I chat with Russel Steele from RSA Liquor Professionals. Russell has many years’ experience working both sides of the Liquor & Hospitality industry, with 9 years working as a State Licensing regulator and 10 years working in and managing licensed premises in QLD and Northern Territory.

In our chat, Russell outlines and explains in much detail all the different licensing types for producing and selling beer, how he helps brewery owners navigate the confusing and highly regulated environment of liquor licensing as well as discussing important considerations around different types of permits for brewery owners depending on what type of brewery they want to be including thoughts around serving food and having live music at your venue.

Licensing & Government Compliance Part 1 - Ben Tesoriero from CPS Planning

We now have a look at a very important and often very confusing topic when it comes to opening and running a brewery and that is Brewery Licensing & Government Compliance.

Part 1 of our 3 episode segment is a sit down with Ben Teseorieo from CPS Planning. I was put onto Ben from Glenn Wignall from the Grifter who highly recommended Ben and his firm of experienced Towners Planners services.
They have a wealth of experience when it comes to assisting brewery owners with site selection, development applications and navigating the often-confusing steps in the planning and approval process of opening a brewery.
This is a must listen for any aspiring brewery owner wanting to learn how the planning and approval process works with local government.

Licensing & Government Compliance Part 3 - Mayor Darcy Byrne from Inner West Council

Part 3 and the final episode of the Brewery Licensing & Government Compliance segment.
In this episode I managed to line up a chat with Mayor Darcy Bryne from the Inner West Council. Darcy, a craft beer enthusiast, has been a big advocate for the craft beer scene that has sprung up in Sydney’s Inner West for the past 10 years. He and other contributors have played a very big role in lobbying for better regulations across all levels of government to try making it easier for new breweries to open and operate. He also helped launch the Inner West Brewers Association that includes original members such as Wayward Brewing, Grifter, Young Henrys, Willie The Boatman and more.
In our chat, I talk with Darcy about how he came to have a passion for the craft beer industry, dealing with local councils, the challenges still facing breweries opening up in regards to untangling red tape and what efforts have been made previously and currently for improving conditions for the craft beer industry.
