The craft beer scene in Australia is growing at a rapid pace each year, with a new brewery opening up on average every 6 days. A few mates from Sydney have decided to have a crack at it, but found it hard to find information out there about opening a new brewery in Australia. They're recording all their conversations with brewery owners and professionals, sharing their learnings via a podcast to other aspiring brewery owners.

Beer Distribution Part 1 - Andy Harris from Motus Transport

March 24, 2021 • Chris Hayton • Season 1 • Episode 32

In this week’s segment we discuss the inner workings of Beer distribution and how Breweries work with distributors and retailers to send their beer far and wide into bottleshops, pubs and clubs.

In part 1 of the segment, I talk with Founder and Director Andy Harris from Motus Transport. Being a family owned & operated transportation and logistics company, Andy and his Wife Emily started the business back in 2016 and have grown to become one of the largest cold storage warehouse and distributors of Craft Beer in NSW.

Andy having a background in Sales within the beverage industry, he saw a gap in the distribution market and began to concentrate on building a solid network of customers within the craft beer space. Having over 100 breweries within their portfolio they work with, Andy is very well placed to share his insights on what Breweries need to be considering when dipping their toes into the wholesale distribution space.
