What is it about?

This chapter tracks the slow rise of the craft brewing segment in Australia. Three distinct periods are identified - an initial rush in the mid-to late 1980s, a lull throw the 1990s, and an explostion from 2005 onwards. The chapter includes minicase studies of various path breaking ventures.
