This week we go a touch over the Cook Limit but it’s worth it as we hear from Craig Williams on how Gabs Festival went in Brisbane. And the big news stories of the week are:

• The one alcoholic drink you should avoid if you’re trying to lose weight
• The shocking beer consumption of 19th century England
• What’s in a name? Understanding the re-categorisation of bitter
• CSIRO can’t justify pro-alcohol research
• Stone and Wood Brisbane to open by spring
