Steven Henderson is a craft beer rockstar. He goes by the moniker Hendo and he’s one of the best-known personalities in the Australian craft beer industry. Well-loved and well-respected. And, from what I can tell, well-deserved. He started a contract, or gypsy, brewing brewery called Brewcult. He pushed the boundaries of what people in Australia considered craft beer. He won awards for great beer, expanded distribution and travelled the country living the life of a National beer celebrity.  And then the whole thing came crashing down, leaving a spectacular hole in the Australian craft beer scene. And, of course, a rough patch in Hendo’s personal life.  But this story ends with a win as we’ll hear in the 5th segment. Hendo has gone back to why he loved the industry in the first place. Selling beer was never his passion, it was making the best beer he could. As Australia’s rockstar brewer, it was only fitting that he would start the Rockstar Brewer Academy. Like me, he’s focused on making the industry better. Unlike me he’s focused on doing it by mentoring and coaching brewers all over the world to make better beer.  And now, here’s the emotional, inspiring story of Steve, “Hendo” Henderson” and Australia’s late BrewCult Brewing Company.  Reach out to Hendo RockStar Brewer YouTube ⁠BrewCult Facebook⁠ BrewCult Instagram⁠ BrewCult Twitter⁠ ⁠Story about BrewCult Closing⁠ Episode Sponsored by: ⁠Accubrew⁠ ⁠Brewery Direct⁠ ⁠Simpson Motorcycle Helmets⁠ ⁠BrewBids⁠ ⁠Made To Measure Communications⁠ ⁠Somnifix⁠ (use DAMNBREWERY at checkout for 10% off) ⁠Where to get my book⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/damnbrewery/support
