This week we speak to Dave Padden from Akasha Brewing. Over the last decade or more that this podcast has been running Dave has been a frequent guest and that’s because he’s always thoughtful, and importantly always willing to engage in discussions about important topics. He is someone I always enjoy speaking with on or off the microphone. And this conversation is no exception. The brewing industry is vastly different from where it was at 8 years ago when Dave founded Akasha and I wanted to hear his thoughts on what driven some of those changes, where the industry is at the moment and - most importantly - where it's headed.  I hope you appreciate his insights as much as I do. This episode of Beer is a Conversation is presented by HPA. Australia’s leading hop grower offers a huge range of Aussie, international and innovative hop products that can help breweries of all sizes become more efficient, more sustainable, and more profitable.
