Hang in there! We will Survive!
Hop this finds you lightly rested after a long Queen's Birthday Weekend. Like QE2 we all need to be Resilient and Hang in There during these difficult times. Remember the Australian Bushfires? They came after the crippling drought and before the floods and CoVid-19 Pandemic. Well, 2020 has surely delivered more than a few brutal blows to all our great mates in Craft Brewing and Distilling Communities. Did you know that 55% of all Craft Brewers and 95% of all Craft Distillers are based in Regional and Rural Australia!
There are signs of light at the end of a beery long tunnel as lockdown restrictions lift, pubs slowly reopen their doors and city dwellers jump in their cars and go out into the country to get familiar with the natural wonders this great land has to offer. Remember when you are out and about to do your bit to choose independent and local businesses to support. It really helps in times like these.
We are thrilled at BeerCo.com.au with the support for the Resilience | BeerCo Kit with 8 SOLD and $200 donated to the World Wildlife Fund of Australia. May not sound like much given an Aussie comedian raised over $50m on the Facebook but it all adds up as they say, so tanks again to all you awesome Aussie Home Brewers who bought and brewed a Resilience | BeerCo All Grain Kit for the Bushfire Relief over the past 3 months.
Please note its not all doom and gloom in rural and regional Australia either right now and Victoria has experienced one of its best malting barley harvests in 30+ years. Read all about it in the Australian Barley Harvest - Crop Report 2020 from Jack King at Malteurop Australia.
