1.16 New Moon - Keith Villa created the biggest "craft" beer in the world, Blue Moon, now he brews with cannabis

In this episode you'll learn why the man who single-handedly gave us one of the biggest beers in the world, Blue Moon, believes that his new cannabis beer might eclipse his previous success.Dr. Keith Villa is a living legend in brewing circles, having not only created Blue Moon but also led the marketing and production from relatively humble beginnings to global success. For many, Blue Moon was the beer that opened their eyes (and taste buds) up to a world of flavours that mainstream lagers simply couldn't compare with. This arguably turbocharged the craft beer revolution and shaped the global beer market we know today. However Keith didn't stop there and his latest venture, Ceria Brewing, focuses on Cannabis infused beers and he describes the "Tsunami" of opportunity that legalisation creates. Keith also talks about how his new book, Brewing with Cannabis, giving practical advice for anybody wanting to start making Cannabis beers and beverages at any scale. We also welcome another guest to our "Desert Island" where they can choose to bring only one drink with them. This time we hear from Tara Nurin, Beer Journalist, Author and Lecturer.
