Ten Years Of CoConspirators

"It's still fun. That's the best part." CoConspirators are in the midst of a year of tenth anniversary celebrations – and approaching five years at their Brunswick brewpub – so we figured it was a fine time to invite the two couples behind the brewery on the show. It gave us the chance to do things a bit differently too: interviewing the couples separately – while aiming to keep the questions as distinct as possible. James chatted to Jacqui and Tim, Will to Maggie and Deon, and between them they painted a rich picture of their story to date. We go back to early beers as homebrewers and their Merri Mashers days, cover their transition from brewers without a home to owners of an ever-evolving brewpub, delve into their favourite beers and events, the challenges they've faced along the way, and their plans for the next decade of CoConspirators [https://craftypint.com/brewing-company/coconspirators-brewing]. With Will in Italy on his honeymoon, Luke McCarthy from our new sister publication, The Full Measure, stepped into co-hosting roles for The Week On Crafty, which covered James' entry [https://craftypint.com/news/4193/the-crafty-pint-and-full-measure-founder-honoured-at-2026-mfwf-legends-and-trailblazers-awards] into the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival Legends hall of fame, Village Days moving into Wildflower's [https://craftypint.com/news/4196/indie-beer-to-return-to-wildflower-as-village-days-move-in] old home, Mildura's new brewery Sunneva [https://craftypint.com/news/4189/brew-and-a-sunneva-brewing], our listing for Last St Brewery [https://craftypint.com/brewery/last-st-brewery] and some upcoming events and special offers for our Crafty Cabal beer club [https://craftycabal.com/] members.
