The Crafty Pint is an independent online magazine and resource for anyone interested in craft beer in Australia. We bring an honest, old-fashioned journalistic approach to beer's brave new world, telling stories because they're worth telling, not because someone is paying us to write them.
We believe in authenticity, integrity, enjoyment and love, and hope to play a role in helping good beer, brewed by good people, find its way into the hands of more drinkers.

Cryer Malt have been supplying the beer industry in Australia and New Zealand with a range of ingredients sourced from across the globe for more than three decades. You can read about the company's founder, David Cryer, in this feature we published on his retirement in 2022.
They have also always been generous supporters of the wider beer community, sponsoring events, awards and initiatives, and we've been delighted to work with them on a number of projects over the years.

The Crafty Pint is funded, in part, by industry partners eager to support our independent journalism. They include Bintani, Presenting Partner for the Sustainability category within our Beer Knowledge resource.
Bintani was founded by Pete Meddings in the mid-90s, initially supplying yeast to the local industry, before expanding into a multifaceted supplier of ingredients and brewing aids in partnership with local and international businesses.
Many members of the Meddings family followed Pete – who you can read about in this feature we published on his retirement in 2020 – into the business, which is a longstanding supporter of the beer industry. The Crafty Pint first experienced this support when working alongside Dale and Phil Meddings as part of a tiny group getting Good Beer Week off the ground, and that generosity has continued, including Bintani's sponsorship of the Pint of Origin festival beer in 2023.
