Meet The Brewer Part 5 - Glenn Wignall from The Grifter Brewing Co.

Part 5 of the  Meet The Brewer Series, where we sit down with Co-Founders and Head Brewers from local Sydney breweries, to get their stories, insights and advice.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Co-Founder Glenn Wignall from The Grifter Brewing Co in Marrickville. 

Glenn & co-founders Matt King & Trent Evans began their journey into the craft brewery scene by bouncing around the Inner West doing Gypsy brewing, fine tuning their recipes and finding a temporary haven with their own tank space at the Young Henry’s brewery in Newtown when they were just launching back in 2012. Building a solid brand and loyal following they took the opportunity to purchase Young Henry’s brewhouse equipment a couple years later, holding it in storage for sometime until they finally left the Young Henrys nest and finding their own physical premises and setting down roots in the Marrickville area. 

Glenn has a lot of advice to give on equipment sourcing, gypsy brewing, as well as thoughts on a topic that hasn’t been spoken a lot about so far, and that is the importance of safety within a brewery and considerations for aspiring brewery owners around meeting Australian standards with their equipment and ensuring a safe workplace for your employees and customers.
