Another Round: The Art Of Being Evil

"I can kind of do whatever I want and two or three weeks later send the beer out and see what happens." In the third of our Another Round episodes, in which we dip into the 100-plus past shows of The Crafty Pint Podcast throughout July while various team members are overseas, we return to our chat with Rhys Lopez, founder of one-man-band Evil Mega Corp [https://www.evilmegacorp.com.au/home]. He takes us into the thinking behind his unique operation, one that allows him to explore any avenue that piques his interest [https://craftypint.com/news/4095/keeping-the-beer-gas-tax-conversation-going], and move more nimbly than pretty much any brewing operation on the planet. We also delve into the pre-EMC – and pre-beer – career of one of the most loquacious and thought-provoking characters in the industry. This week's intro sees James rejoin Will as he prepares to fly back from the UK, with the former recapping his brushes with the beer and whisky worlds in England and Scotland. It's been something of a back-loaded week in terms of articles on Crafty, with news of Six String's return from administration [https://craftypint.com/news/4132/six-string-brewing-emerge-from-administration-as-creditors-approve-restructuring-plan] landing as we were chatting, and articles on Malt Donkey's "Fine Ales" and Shapeshifter's exciting plans for Adelaide Central Market potentially not landing on the site until after this episode enters the ether. We also look ahead to this weekend's NZIPA Challenge at Rocky Ridge [https://craftypint.com/event/14122/the-inaugural-australian-nzipa-challenge] and upcoming events we're involved with at Bracket Brewing [https://craftypint.com/event/14132/southern-hemisphere-hop-showcase-and-masterclass] in Marrickville and CoConspirators [https://craftypint.com/event/14119/beer-club-exclusive-ten-years-of-coconspirators] in Brunswick.
