This episode features two of the four lads, Andrew and Hami, in a really frank and open conversation about a hobby that’s become a business.  From a generic brew kit in someone’s garage to the taps of the city’s coolest bars, Lads is a little more than the average homebrew. These four guys have quickly become the local drop of choice around Whanganui...and can you believe, all while doing it as a side project from their day jobs.

There’s a whole lot that goes into a brewery, but the easily relatable Lads makes it seem like anyone could do it. They talk about what it’s actually like - how they figured out how to brew,  how they’ve engineered their own equipment (a lot of ingenuity), and how they’ve done it slowly but surely, making sure they tick off all the important boxes along the way. 

They’ve also tapped into some magic along their business journey;  they have been fully embraced by the local community. The Lads Brewery story is one of innovation, persistence and patience, and the result is a fast-growing business, product range and following that’s getting stronger every day.
