Today on the podcast, we speak with IBA Chair Peter Philip and General Manager Kylie Lethbridge about the changes to excise and the IBA’s lobbying efforts that brought it about.

Last Saturday news broke that in the upcoming Federal budget brewers are going to get a significant boost through changes to excise. These changes have been long lobbied for, and it’s a big boost for the IBA to have brought it home.

We talk about what it means for brewers, and also whether concerns about a brewing gold rush are founded. Needless to say being Beer is a Conversation we discuss a whole lot more besides over the next 50 minutes.
