#24 Innovative Startup – Renn Blackman from Blackman’s Brewery

March 09, 2015

On the Yellow Click Road this week we were joined by the Head Brewer of Blackman's Brewery in Torquay - Renn Blackman! Renn shared with us the story of Blackman's Brewery which is a restaurant, bar and in-house micro brewery that has been amazingly successful and embraced by the local community since it opened only 7 months ago.

Listen to the interview to hear about Renn's background, starting out as a brewer in Perth and then travelling across Europe with his partner Jess, learning all about the art of brewing high quality beer.

Renn and Jess have done a lot of innovative things to grow the business from a pop-up laneway market to a fancy dress Oktoberfest party and going all-out for local events - the Hook and Vine Festival and the Drink Art Food Torquay Festival.

As a special Renn also invites all listeners to join him for the Brew day of his new Bells Pro Pale Ale, which is a beer he is making especially for the upcoming ASP World Tour event - the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach. The brew day is happening on the morning of Wednesday 11th of March 2015, to find out more about this innovative startup go to the Blackman's Brewery website.

Also in the interview Craig gives updates on the progress on the Dolfi on Indigogo and the Warrior watch on Kickstarter.
