This week, we speak with Kegstar general manager for Australia and New Zealand, Stephen Hopkins.

During the chat, we discuss Hopkins’ career journey in FMCG industries, including his time with Cadbury, Asahi and Coca Cola. We also look at the impact of COVID on draught beer in his current role, and whether keg formats have changed following excise changes on kegs under 50 litres.
