Episode 7: Taking Shelter

Jason Shelter Brewing Co

Rocky Ridge and Shelter might share a hometown and a spot on the Busselton foreshore, but any talk of feuds or rivalries has been greatly overblown. Hamish sits down with Jason to talk building two very different breweries in the same corner of WA, and why they'd both rather see people drinking local than fighting over who gets the pint.
