There was plenty to reflect on and project from in the respective budgets, as well as the ongoing conversations around excise that have been capturing headlines and the public's attention alike, not least off the back of Independent Senator David Pocock's campaigning. Those discussions form just part of the episode, with Sabrina and Evin offering insight into the IBA's key priorities, the real costs to consumers of the various container deposit schemes across the country, the impact of non-payment of bills across the industry, funding to reboot the Tasmanian Ale Trail, and plans to replace the Indies with awards that celebrate the people of the indie beer community. James sat out the main chat due to his position on the board of the IBA, but joins Will for the intro. As well as looking back on a booming opening half to Pint of Origin [https://pintoforigin.com/], they summarise this week's features on two of the country's independent breweries: Mog Brew [https://craftypint.com/news/4078/who-brews-mog-beers] and the rebirthed Zig Zag Brewery [https://craftypint.com/news/4080/up-down-up-zig-zag-brewerys-winding-path].
