Show Notes

In this episode you'll learn how the beer market in China is developing at a rapid pace, with evolving drinking culture, local recipe inspiration (Duck Shit Tea is a real thing!) and increased connectivity with the rest of the brewing world.

Neil Playfoot of Asian Beer Network is our guide as he introduces us to the dynamics of the largest volume market for beer in the world where even in the last 13 years, changes in consumption and production habits have been profound. Having worked in England, France, Bermuda, Armenia and as one of the most experienced craft brewers in China he's perfectly placed to compare the contrasting beer cultures across countries and continents.

On our Desert Island, we have another hands on creator, Christopher Goggins of the Dublin Liberties Distillery. Christopher is a skilled distiller who started out in the "romance" side of the business as a tour guide & brand ambassador. However his love for talking about Irish Whiskey led him to change career and as a "maker not a taker"!
