255: Westside Ale Works Returns - Part 1

There's been a lot of change in and around Melbourne's Westside Ale Works lately and we get to explore it all in this episode with Jonathon and Leo.

You can buy all the beers we discuss in our episode here: https://the-coolroom-podcast.myshopify.com/products/westside-ale-works-mixed-6-pack

We last had Westside on back on Episode 103 with Casey but today we learn all about the new owner Jonathon and his journey from keen home brewer to making the leap to actually buying a brewery. 

What made Westside the right fit for him, what will change and what will stay the same under his ownership and how does he feel about the current state of Australia's craft beer scene?

But the change doesn't stop there! We also meet new brewer Leo who has journeyed from winemaker, to spirits distiller to now being a brewer? What has she learned at each stage along the way, where does she get her inspiration from and what made her the right choice for Jonathon?
