Welcome back, for a new season of The Thirst Time. The show that takes a deep dive into the careers and journeys of some of the most creative minds in the craft beer industry. For our first Episode back, we had the privilege of engaging in a captivating conversation with none other than Topher Boehm, the visionary lead brewer and founder of Sydney, Australia's renowned Wildflower Brewery.Wildflower are a special brewery, they produce beers that take time and are built around the least interfered and best quality ingredients Topher can get his hands on. Wildflower Brewery is a brewery where time is an essential ingredient, and where the focus on ingredients and sourcing takes the highest priority. Each beer that emerges, is a testament to the commitment to excellence that Topher and his team embody and it was a real pleasure to sit down and hear more about the his and Wildflowers journey so far.Enjoy!

Something slightly different on this week's episode. We sit down with, chef/magician Eddie Shepherd. For me, Eddie is a visionary, he began plant based cooking over a decade ago and has gone on to open his own restaurant... in his front room. His food is delicious as it is beautiful. We sit down and talk about his journey into cooking & why he decided to go solo. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we sit down with Sophie de Ronde, Head Brewer of Burnt Mill.Sophies story is an interesting one, after starting working behind a bar, falling in love with cask and then becoming a brewer, she found she had an allergy to Gluten. This meant a revised thinking of her career path, but after meeting Charles, owner & founder of Burnt Mill, she decided to carry on brewing, even if she couldn't enjoy the fruits of her labour. She is also the founder of the International Women's Open Brew Days, a project that is now global. An incredible achievement and one that we should all be thanking Sophie for. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.
