Money For Jam — Urbanaut's Bruce Turner

Urbanaut founder Bruce Turner came back to New Zealand from England where he worked at an establishment brewery, Fuller's, and a new-wave craft brewery, Meantime. On his return to Aotearoa he wanted to brew the classic style beers he fell in love with in England, including real cask ale. Instead he's ended up brewing hazy IPAs with flavours such as Toasted Marshmallow, Raspberry Lamington and Passionfruit Cheesecake. Michael & martin met Bruce in the Urbanaut brewery and taproom to discuss how they ended up brewing such crazy beers. Plus we talk about Terpene beers, low carb beers (they have four now), the return of the Blenders and the demise of one of the original "classics" in Brixton Pale Ale.
