This week on Chat on Tap, David sits down with James Breheny, whose family name is etched into Australian beer history. The Brehenys were once the most influential brewing family in the country — with 18 brewers across dozens of breweries dating back to 1864. From KB Lager to Grewat Northern to Toohey’s New, their fingerprints are on some of the most iconic beers Aussies have ever poured.Now, more than a century later, James and his cousin are bringing those original recipes from the 1900s back to life. What started with a lost-and-found brewing journal has turned into Breheny Brothers Brewing, a revival of history that’s both nostalgic and refreshing.Whether you’re a beer history buff, a craft drinker who’s come full circle, or just love a good yarn over a schooner, this episode pours a fresh perspective on Aussie brewing heritage.(Chapters are auto-generated)00:00 The Legacy of the Brainy Family in Brewing02:47 Reviving Historical Recipes and Brewing Techniques05:55 Discovering Family History and Brewing Heritage08:38 Crafting Authentic Beers for Modern Drinkers11:32 The Journey of a Family Business in Brewing14:21 Marketing a Historic Brand in Today's Market17:15 Future Aspirations and New Recipes19:57 Personal Favorites and Pub CultureFollow & support Breheny Brothers Brewing: Available now at independent liquor stores across Australia. https://www.brehenybros.com @brehenybrosbreweriesEpisode produced by: WHEN StudiosFollow: @WHEN.Studios, Insta: @chatontapEmail: [email protected]: David A.
