In this very non-Easter but extremely good Radio Brews News we catch up with Mark Woolcott from beerbud.com.au who explains his company’s latest beer crowd funding venture – and what’s really in it for the consumer.

BeerBud’s crowd funding page: beerbud.com.au/crowdfunding

We then speak with writer Pete Brown who gives you the lay of the land for craft beer in the UK, andexplains why his attitude to the  J D Wetherspoon’s chain is softening, if not becoming his favourite craft beer bar. Pete also gives us a taste of his new book all about the ingredients that go in to the beer you’re drinking. You can pre-purchase the book through his own crowd funding campaign at  unbound.co.uk/books/what-are-you-drinking.

Pete is one of the great contemporary beer writers and communicators. You can follow him on Twitter.
