Ever wondered where beer comes from? You don?t grown it on a tree, that?s for sure. Beer is made by men and woman called Brewers. The collective noun for brewers is ?A feast of brewers?. I know! Weird, right?
Through out Sydney Craft Beer Week we have a whole bunch of oportunies for you to sit down and have a pint with the person who made the pint. And I present:
PERSON WHO MADE THE PINT or MEET THE BREWER
?
Scotty Morgan is the head for for Rocks Brewing who?s beer you will find all over Sydney and at Harts Pub in The Rocks.?He started brewing at University as a way to make cheap beer but he had a beer revelation involving Samuel Adams beer while working in the USA. Harts has become an institution in Sydney and a craft beer pilgrimage for those living far from a decent pint.
You can thank Scotty in person at Harts Meet The Brewer night.

Most young Aussies head over seas to check out the world beyond our sunburnt shores, and Paul and Natasha Holgate were no exception. On holiday trips to the USA and Europe in the 1990s they were amazed at the whole world of beer and beer styles out there.?The USA was an inspiration to the young Holgate?s, who saw the thriving microbrewing industry there and decided to just do it! Both of migrant families ? Paul?s family from Manchester England and Natasha?s from Sri Lanka ? they decided to quit their corporate jobs and follow their passion. Paul originally found his love of baking cakes and pastries, making jams and ginger beer from his Mum at home as a youngster and converted that to all-grain brewing from first principles while at University.
Meet Paul at Beer and Bites at The Oak Barrel.

Dave Padden got the idea to open a brewery a long time ago, fostered out of a love of home brewing. Padden is the founder of the casual western Sydney home brewers? club, and he speaks fondly of brewing as a great personal passion. He says the original plan for the brewery was something smaller???not quite a nanobrewery???although the initial vision has evolved a lot over the eighteen months. One thing that has remained constant, Padden tells me, is the need for a sense of community.
