Welcome to the GBH Collective, a special series of interviews where we have
the chance to dive a little deeper with Good Beer Hunting contributors and
friends on topics of writing, beer and the stories you read and hear from
GBH.
In this episode, we’re leaving the confines of the U.S. to visit with Luke
Robertson, a GBH contributor living in Melbourne, Australia. Originally
from New Zealand, Luke built up his reputation and writing chops in his
adopted home country through the Ale of a Time blog and podcast. He started
writing for Good Beer Hunting in 2017, and has taken readers behind the
scenes of Melbourne’s GABS Beer, Cider and Food Festival, and into the
hearts and minds of peers and industry pros addressing mental health.
If you live in America, you know the bounty of options available to you
when it comes to beer. But, it’s always exciting to turn our gaze elsewhere
in the world to get a sense of what’s driving beer culture around the globe
and how all that ingenuity we find at home resonates elsewhere. In this
conversation, Luke talks about the parallel tracks of Australian beer
drinkers, from Lager lovers to Haze Bois, and we go back to his important
piece on mental health to dissect what it took to pull that kind of story
together.
This is Luke Robertson, podcaster, writer, and our mate from Down Under.
Listen in.
