The drinks quiz that nobody asked for is back! Actually, a few people did actually ask for it in the last few months so we were happy to oblige.
We intended to ease ourselves back in gently but Will's brain was not engaged...

A Shot of... (The Quizness of Beverages!)
Business of Beverages
12/09/24 • 13 min
It happened! A listener finally sent us in questions for our short, silly drinks quiz and we're thrilled. Firstly because somebody loves a beverage based quiz as much as we do, but secondly because we didn't have to do the research work ourselves for a change!
If you think you've got a good drink/set of clues, just drop us a text by clicking the link above, or find us on LinkedIn or X.

Disreputable Exchange - Prof. André Sammartino on the controversial obfuscations of Micro & Macro brewers.
Business of Beverages
11/01/22 • 59 min
In this episode you'll learn how an academic approach to studying the Australian Craft Beer scene has given greater insights into how brewers large and small avoid transparency for short term gain but at the cost of long term credibility.
Will talks to Professor André Sammartino, from the University of Melbourne in Australia about the 12 "Golden Rules" for success in enterprise and how these apply to brewing and distilling businesses. But the conversation then takes a deep dive into the questionable practices of micro and macro brewers over the last 25 years in Australia as they sought to create their own myths in the pursuit of selling beer. The learnings are relevant all over the globe and far beyond the brewing industry.
In place of our regular Desert Island Drink slot, Foxy's first "Uncle Travelling Pat" slot (*Name TBC) dives deeper into his impressions of Kazakhstan and it's nascent drinking culture, unique hospitality and salty fermented milk beverages.
Plus we talk about Will's fancy dress philosophy, the origin of Pumpkin Beers and how Halloween is really Irish (like evrything else).

All Filler, No Killer - Will & Foxy reflect on the best episodes, most entertaining guests & fondest memories as Foxy (and the pod) turns 40!
Business of Beverages
10/03/22 • 23 min
In the traditions of all the best sit coms, we're taking a mid-season break from our usual scheduling to bring you a reflection of our thoughts on the pod as we hit a big milestone. No, we're not talking about Foxy officially becoming middle aged, we're giving our recommendations to new listeners of the pod on the best episodes and guests on our back catalogue to check out.
If the Simpson's can do a "138th Episode Spectacular", then we can chew the cud and ruminate on the sucess of the podcast to date before charging onwards with a brilliant program of new episodes and top class guests in the weeks and months to come.
Normal service will be resumed shortly...
Thanks for all your support, please buy us a coffee.

Foxy's Tales: Kenya
Business of Beverages
07/31/23 • 35 min
In this episode you'll learn what's happening in Rwanda and Kenya as Foxy reports on the local beverage scene and updates on the trends on the ground.
In the third of "Foxy's Tales", Padraig Fox gives us his stories and insights from a recent trip to Africa (& Portugal!). Coffee, beer, cocktails, you name it, he drank it. From craft brewery tap rooms (254) to swanky hotels, from airport concessions to street side bars, Foxy did the research so you don't have to! He tells stories of random encounters, lax security, "scheduled" riots and the one drink he'll never forget...
P.S. yes, that is Owen Wilson in the photo with Foxy. They met by chance in a bar in Kenya and Foxy forgot to tell the story in the interview!!! We'll save it for another time.
