  • How the Romans inspired Merrick Watts' Posca Hydrate

    How the Romans inspired Merrick Watts' Posca Hydrate
    Nov 19 2025
    We’re joined this episode by Merrick Watts and Ed Stening, co-founders of Posca Hydrate, a recent start-up that takes inspiration from one of the oldest drinks in recorded history. Posca shares its name with an ancient concoction of red wine vinegar, water, salt and flavourings that was consumed by the Roman army for its hydrating properties, at a time when clean water was often hard to come by. It was Merrick, the comedian, broadcaster and wine expert, who conceived the idea of resurrecting this beverage for modern consumers. The result is Posca Hydrate, a sparkling, sugar-free prebiotic drink that combines electrolytes and antioxidant-rich red wine vinegar to support hydration and gut health. Merrick teamed up with Ed Stening, a marketing executive formerly of companies including Lion and Suntory, to refine the product and bring it to market. And it's early days, but Posca looks destined for big things. They’ve assembled a crack team of advisors to join the company’s board, and achieved some impressive milestones including qualification with the ATO as an Early Stage Innovation Company, and a distribution partnership with SPC Global. That’s all coming up in this brilliant conversation with Merrick and Ed.

    Oct 23 2025
    In this episode, we welcome Matt Hobson of Nil Desperandum Rum back to the show. Matt was last with us on the eve of Queensland Rum Day 2024 to discuss the debut release of The Rum Consortium, a history-making blend of rums from four Queensland distilleries including icons Bundaberg and Beenleigh. Queensland Rum Day 2025 is coming up this Friday October 2025, so there’s events and another special Rum Consortium release for you to suss out after listening to this interview with Matt. This time, we’re talking about the labelling laws for Australian rum, which Matt argues must be properly enforced in order to protect the reputation of Australian rum on the world stage.

  • The trials and triumphs of mobile canning in Australia

    The trials and triumphs of mobile canning in Australia
    Oct 8 2025
    In this episode we’re joined by Chris Kelly of Australia’s first mobile canning provider, East Coast Canning. Chris founded the business in 2016 to provide small breweries with access to professional-grade packaging without them needing to invest in expensive canning lines of their own. Nine years on, East Coast Canning has a fleet of four mobile canning trucks and a static packaging facility in Melbourne that together have filled more than 33 million cans for customers on Australia’s eastern seaboard. Chris reflects on some of the highs and lows so far; such as the “sku-mageddon” groundswell of limited release beers; the lockdown era packaged beer boom; and the craft beer insolvencies that nearly brought the business undone. You’ll hear about the some of the emerging sectors of the drinks industry that are calling on East Coast for packaging services; and the company’s new Bulletproof can innovation, billed as the world’s most durable digitally printed can.
