The craft beer scene in Australia is growing at a rapid pace each year, with a new brewery opening up on average every 6 days. A few mates from Sydney have decided to have a crack at it, but found it hard to find information out there about opening a new brewery in Australia. They're recording all their conversations with brewery owners and professionals, sharing their learnings via a podcast to other aspiring brewery owners.

Beer Distribution Part 2 - Diarmaid O'Mordha from Endeavour Drinks Group

March 24, 2021 • Chris Hayton • Season 1 • Episode 33

In this episode, I sit down with Group Quality & Sustainability Manager of the Endeavour Drinks Group, Diarmaid O’Mordha. Most of you will know that the Endeavour Drinks group is the largest beverage retailer and distributor in Australia with well known bottleshops such as Dan Murphy’s and BWS, and the giant pubs & clubs network ALH Group. Diarmaid and his team, to use his own words “are the ones that keep the river clean from being polluted” when it comes to the many different beverage producers wanting to sell their products within their retail distribution channels.

In our chat, we talk about the potential opportunities for small local breweries if they have ambitions to get their beers into local BWS bottleshops, the common pitfalls and issues they come across with suppliers just starting out in wholesale distribution and some of the bare minimum quality controls a Distributor such as Endeavour would expect a brewery to adhere to.
