Dermott Dowling

RUOK?  Hanging in there?  For a lot of us here in MELbrewin' and out there across Australia and around the world 2020 has been a long year with a huge amount of change.  Change is Hardest in the Middle (Kanter, 2009).  Do not despair.  Instead, persist and persevere. Have stamina. Be flexible.  In life and business we all need to expect obstacles on the road to success and celebrate each milestone.

Whatever, your doing to stay positive and have a growth mindset in 2020,  Keep it up!  Remember, positivity breeds positivity and we need all the positivity we can muster at the moment.  For those of us still #LockedDown do not get down.  Get Up!  One of the many small pleasures I have discovered during #Lockdown apart from my much beloved Garden, Fruit Trees and Hop Bines is "getting my bake on" making Sourdough Loaf after Sourdough Loaf and dropping them off to friends and neighbours in our postcode as well as feeding the family.  Before there were Brewers there were the Bakers or vice versa!  In forthcoming, issues of the BeerCo Brewing and Distilling News, I plan to share some of my Sourdough recipes and how to make a Sourdough Starter from your favourite Sour Beer.

Before I forget!  Remember one thing! Talking about things helps.  A problem shared is a problem halved.  Throughout this ordeal remember we are here for you if you want to drop us a line or give us a call and chat about your Brewing and Distilling supplies please reach out anytime!  Now, on with some exciting NEW!
