We’re joined this episode by Stone & Wood head brewer Caolan Vaughan, to get an update on recent goings on at the company.

And as always, there’s plenty happening. Like the rebranding and reformulation of Cloud Catcher, now known as Cloudy Pale Ale; and the launch of its new Australian Hop Series, starting with the Hinterland Hazy.

We get the latest on the Counter Culture label, reserved for left field and inventive beers.

And I ask Caolan what happened to Forest for the Trees, the saison offshoot brand championed by Stone & Wood founder Brad Rogers.

We get a progress report on Green Coast Mid, the clear bottle lager introduced in 2021 that was a pretty massive change in direction for Stone & Wood. 

And we find out the latest on redevelopment plans for its Murwillumbah production brewery.

This is a special episode of Drinks Adventures, produced in partnership with Stone & Wood.

First up in the interview – recorded a few weeks ago now – I started by asking Caolan how things have been going with the integration of Stone & Wood into the Lion business, following its sale in late 2021.
