Bridge Road Brewers at 18, with founder Ben Kraus

Founded in 2005 in Beechworth, north east Victoria, Bridge Road Brewers is currently celebrating its 18th birthday.

This is a significant milestone for any business, let alone a craft brewer. And it’s particularly momentous for Bridge Road Brewers, which is currently poised to open a brewpub venue in East Brunswick, Melbourne, following a successful $1.5 million crowdfunding campaign in 2022.

Founder Ben Kraus is with us this episode for a really interesting discussion about the challenges of remaining relevant in a fiercely competitive market in which the drinker is always on the lookout for new and different.
