We sat down for a beer with Ryan Davidson, co-founder of Little Bang Brewery Co —a truly independent craft brewery making a buzz in the industry—check out the exclusive interview:

1. Tell us, why is the brewery called Little Bang?

We went through every two-word combination in the English language with the words Brewing Company after it, and we hated this one the least. Also it was Kerri’s nickname for Fil and Ryan “doing beer science” in Fil’s garage.

2. The past few years has seen a shift in consumer demand, favouring local producers, a higher quality product and the emergence of the low and no alcohol space. Where do you see the craft beer industry heading next?

No one knows for sure, and those who claim to are selling something. The craft beer market moves so fast because it is a reflection of the interests of engaged consumers who are genuinely interested in trying new things. It’s a terrific place to play, but it is very difficult to predict. We love variety, we want to do everything, we have our favourites but we will certainly put our own spin on anything.

3. We’ve been loving the Little Bang range because there’s such great examples of so many different styles. For those unlucky enough not have sampled a Little Bang beer before, where should they start!?
