## Resource

"This was our goal, and we achieved it today, which was phenomenal." A bit of a change for this week's episode, not just because it's going up a day later than usual.

Prior to that, our discussion of the week's news takes in the global travels of quality guru Bradford Tetlow [https://craftypint.com/news/4067/twenty-years-of-making-the-worlds-beers-better], 100 years of roasting [https://craftypint.com/news/4072/roasted-and-toasted-100-years-of-joe-white-specialty-malts] at Joe White Maltings, two more of our Pints [https://craftypint.com/news/4071/the-pints-of-origin-central-crawl] of Origin [https://craftypint.com/news/4065/the-pints-of-origin-inner-north-crawl] preview articles, and a feature on Froth Craft Brewery's collab with WA hop and malt industries…
