"People attract people. It's that simple. Nobody wants to sit in an empty room." If you've visited The Lincoln – a 171-years-and-counting-old corner pub on the edge of Melbourne's CBD – at any point in the past decade, there's a good chance you'll have enjoyed the experience. After all, as we like to put it: they do everything excellently, all the time – and the team has a bulging trophy cabinet that suggests we're not alone. As they prepare to showcase the Tasmanian beer scene once again for the Pint of Origin festival, we sat down with Iain Ling, who bought the pub with wife Stella in 2014, for a chat about what goes into running a great pub and creating the sort of community that has evolved at The Lincoln. We also delve into the backstory of one of the Melbourne hospo scene's true characters – one that took in club promotion and fine dining in England before he moved to Australia, where he ran Movida Aqui prior to becoming a publican. It's a conversation that goes as deep as it does wide, covering Tetris ninjas, kissing frogs and the challenges of surviving and thriving in the industry on the one hand, to the joy that comes from packing a venue with punters in what he believes is a golden era for pubs. Before Iain shares his hard-earned wisdom, Will and James reflect on the glorious career in beer of Evan Cray, who this month switched craft beer for Tabasco after being a central, yet humble, figure in the rise of beer in Melbourne since he was old enough to drink it. We also look forward to Pint of Origin, which launches on May 9, as well as the festival's "Pining for a taste of home" competition that started this week.

"The nature of our brewery definitely comes across in our beers. I like to think of our brewhouse and fermenters as the terroir." Bruny Island is quite unlike anywhere else in Australia and, fittingly, Bruny Island Beer Co is a truly unique operation too. The brewery's story begins in 2003 when Nick Haddow founded Bruny Island Cheese Co; in the years since, he's become a well-known champion of Tasmania, its produce, and the art of making cheese with integrity. In 2016, Nick launched the brewing wing of the venture with Evan and Steph Hunter, who have since moved to the mainland and helped launch Bendigo Brewing. As with the cheese, Bruny Island beers have a focus on place, utilising local ingredients and eschewing more common styles. These days, brewing is headed up by Luke Rutland, a former Stone & Wood brewer, who is joined in the brewhouse by several brewers, including Amy Beavan. While in Hobart for the CIBD convention, we caught up with Nick, Luke and Amy to learn more about their stories, the cheese, the beer, and what life is like on beautiful Bruny Island. Ahead of the main interview, James and Will reflect on Fox Friday and the group's associated businesses, Carwyn Cellars and the Moonah Hotel, entering voluntary administration as well as our feature shadowing Aussie brewers at the NZ hop harvest. You'll also discover the identity of our latest Bluestone Yeast Brewery of the Month.

"A lot of customers are very concerned about their carbon footprint." For all the challenges faced by the beer industry, it's one that continues to forge ahead in many areas, not least when it comes to sustainability. Whether the focus is powering breweries, recycling or reusing ingredients, supporting organic and regenerative farming practices, or creating new and innovative ways of cutting waste, the brewing industry and those with which it shares a symbiotic relationship are often hotbeds for fostering sustainable practices. It's an area we've covered extensively on The Crafty Pint and, in this episode of our podcast, Craig Williams brings together a panel of pioneers from different businesses helping drive industries in a more eco-friendly direction. He's joined by George Wade, co-founder of UK-based Zevero [https://craftypint.com/news/3539/zeveros-mission-to-help-breweries-cut-emissions], which helps breweries calculate their carbon emissions, Tom Field, founder of Sydney-based Bearhug Pallet Wraps [https://craftypint.com/news/3053/going-green-bearhug-pallet-wrap], and Jonathon Buntz, from Ecogrip [https://craftypint.com/business/1422/ecogrip], producer of 100 percent Australian-owned and manufactured recycled plastic can holders. As well as exploring the genesis for each of their businesses and how they're helping customers operate in a more sustainable manner, they discuss the benefits to brewers, the challenges of persuading more businesses to implement new sustainability measures in tough economic times, and how business owners can take their first steps in this direction. Prior to the panel discussion, Craig is joined by James at Moffat Beach Brewing's Caloundra Production House (where they'd recorded a future show) to look back at another big week in beer – and that was before the news about Fox Friday's voluntary administration [https://craftypint.com/news/3754/fox-friday-enters-voluntary-administration] broke. The Akasha-Wayward unification [https://craftypint.com/news/3748/akasha-and-wayward-join-forces] and rebirth of Molly Rose [https://craftypint.com/news/3750/molly-rose-to-reopen-today-11-days-after-calling-in-liquidators] from liquidation, plus a recent post by Phil Cook on his Beer Diary site, spark a discussion about independence, its meaning and relevance, while Craig offers insight on Steve Jeffares' takeover [https://craftypint.com/news/3752/steve-jeffares-secures-the-former-home-of-deeds] of the former Deeds Brewing site, after working with him on GABS for four years.
