  • All about balance

    Definitely one of the best and more balanced drinks focused podcasts.

    Being in the industry I’ve found they either lack the level of information for me to remain engaged or too technical that it starts to whistle over your head, but this manages to hit both spots sweetly.

    A newbie can easily find themselves drawn in and nurtured through and a seasoned pro can still find themselves sitting back and enjoying the ride.

    Definitely give it a listen.
