In this episode, Troye sits down with Alistair — former assistant brewer at Devil’s Peak — who’s now the only brewer at a tiny craft brewery on Lord Howe Island, one of the most remote breweries on the planet, tucked between Australia and New Zealand.
Alistair takes us through life running a brewery for a community of just 500 locals (plus a steady stream of tourists), the wild logistics of brewing on an island where there’s no plumber, no backup, and shipping costs hundreds of dollars per cubic metre — and why all of that has made him a better, more resourceful brewer.
We also cover:
🍺 His journey from Devil’s Peak (Cape Town) → Byron Bay Brewery → Lord Howe Island
🌱 Growing oyster mushrooms on spent tomato stems for the on-site pizzeria
🐝 Brewing with island-only botanicals and on-site honey
🇺🇸 A bucket-list trip to Sierra Nevada in California, hosted by a 30-year veteran brewer
🍻 Why the brew-pub, “town beer” model might be craft beer’s most sustainable future
🌍 How Cape Town’s beer scene stacks up against the world right now
Grab a beer and settle in for a conversation about island life, brewing against the odds, and why sometimes the most limited setups produce the most creative beer.
