Episode 46 - Meet the amazing founders of Young Henrys beer and how they always do things differently for the right reasons
Episode 46 - Meet the amazing founders of Young Henrys beer and how they always do things differently for the right reasonsLike most good stories, Young Henrys started over a beer. Meeting on opposite sides of the bar, Richard Adamson and Oscar McMahon got talking over their love of beer and music, and discovered they also shared the view that the Australian beer scene felt a little stagnant – that it should be more adventurous, innovative and fun. With Richard’s experience in brewing, and Oscar’s hospitality know-how, they decided they should do more than just talk.Overcoming a tangle of red tape, Young Henrys eventually found a home in a modest warehouse in the backstreets of Newtown. With a few friends, a small brew kit and the maxim to ‘serve the people’, the first Young Henrys beers were brewed in March 2012.The idea was pretty simple: brew beer our local community would enjoy and be proud to call their own. As much as they've grown, that’s remained fundamentally the same. Only these days ‘our community’ goes far beyond the geographical, and has evolved to include like-minded folk throughout Australia, united by the values we hold dear - music, art, culture & communityIn this podcast we talk about:-How did you start Young Henrys?-Why has sustainability been a focus for the brand in a space that hasn't really focused on that?-You have decided to do collaborations with many different independant artists, venues and galleries...why has this been important for the YH brand?-Where do you want to shape and evolve the brand now seeing that you have done so many noble and cool things?I think you are really going to enjoy this podcast as it was alot of fun to have a laugh and conversation with three great men.Connect with Young Henrys here: https://younghenrys.com/https://www.instagram.com/younghenrys/Remember you can always chat to me here or ask a question in the link provided in this bio: https://www.instagram.com/open_pantry_consulting/
