While he wouldn’t be known outside of his home town, this week’s guest is something of a Brisbane beer personality and community figure. Since starting in craft beer about a decade ago, Jimmie Gold has worked at some of the city’s pioneering beer venues and craft breweries.

Over that time he has really come to impress with his thoughtful approach to hospitality and also managing the challenges that come in working in the alcohol and hospitality industries. He’s also a central figure in the community around craft beer in the city. With hospitality becoming an increasingly important element of the business of craft beer, and mindfulness around alcohol an issue for all of us, it was a great opportunity to sit and chat with Jimmie about that.

Enjoy the conversation.
