Pretty excited to catch up with Brian from Spangled Drongo Brewery in Murwillumbah (Adsy even has trouble saying it), as the first official NSW brewery we have visited! Brian is an out and out local, having previously worked for some of the other large breweries in the area. You’ve probably heard of them, being Stone & Wood and Balter Brewing, definitely not small fish in this big pond we call beer. When we visited there was only a single beer being produced, a damn tasty Pale Ale, but a Lager is coming along shortly we were told. With no taproom to sell the beer, you’ll find Spangled Drongo on tap around the place in many pubs and at craft beer events and festivals. The brew kit that Brian uses for the space he has, is huge! There’s not much spare room left in the shed, but it’s been planned so meticulously that they can still add more equipment if needed. The kit is a 4 vessel system, Mash, Lauter, Kettle Whirlpool, 2,500L or 25hL. They’ve over-capitalised on the stainless so that when demand picks up, they’re ready, willing and able. There’s 3 fermenters in total which are all 10,000L (100hL) all of the same size, with a huge ladder to have to dry hop on.
Was great to meet Brian and thanks so much for taking the time out to chat with us. Weather had changed plans for a huge event they were having that night but he still gave us time (and beer, woo!) on the day.
We love our amazing sponsors Bintani, Konvoy Kegs, Craft Punks Canning, Rallings Labels and CRAFTD. Glass once again, our thanks. As industry people supporting the little guys like us, it’s invaluable what they do for the industry, but also in support of us.
A special thanks also to both Amber Hour App for giving us use of their app, and Beers Illustrated for providing us with our awesome logos and continual support when we accidently delete them!
And it goes without saying, thanks to Hiker Brewing Concern for giving us excellent beer many times a week, and letting run amok in their brewery more times per week than anywhere else.
And special thanks to you, our fans who may have watched or listened to this episode. Essentially, you’re the reason we’re doing this and it makes a world of difference. We could do it without you, but it wouldn’t be as fun and probably not as worthwhile.
