From soda to beer and from coffee to Kombucha, we’ll discuss making your favorite craft beverage in small or large batches and how to best serve it on draft.<br> [music]<br> All right, you’re listening to the Drips &amp; Draughts Podcast. As always, I’m Brendan Hanson, and I’ll be your host today. I’ve got Cary in studio for this episode and we’re joined by Brendan, of all people, and Aaron from Filament Coffee. Filament is a cold brew coffee company based out of Perth in Western Australia. Our Australian cold brew series aims to talk about the landscape of cold brew in Australia, but aside from that, we talk about how Brendan and Aaron started Filament while they were working other jobs which I think is going to be a very interesting topic for a lot of people because there’s a lot of people out there who are passionate about coffee and passionate about cold brew.<br> This is the same way that a lot of craft breweries started up, passionate home brewers just got the edge and eventually got the funding or got the capital to start breweries, so this is a cool story, we have a little fun talking, we get introduced to a loud bird that happens to be on the balcony while we’re recording and we have quite a few laughs, so hopefully, you enjoy it as well.

Yes, we were having a beer on a Saturday. We’ve got a couple of different brews floating around the table this morning, I guess we call them test batches and we tend to do it every couple of weeks to choose our own next batch of coffee, so I’m sucking back on an El Salvador Single Origin from a place calle...
