I started planning this magazine a few months ago while enjoying a fantastic Australian craft beer at my local pub. I have been incredibly interested in craft beer for several years and have been thrilled to see the local scene growing from the barren wasteland of VB and Carlton to the vibrant and independent wonderland we have today.
My project – Froth magazine – aims to unite excellent writing and photography with brilliant brewers, passionate craft beer fans, home brew experts, pubs, bars and those who are discovering the scene.
Like the scene, the magazine will be fun, playful, informative and just a little bit nutty.
I need to raise $5000 to pay for the printing costs and contributors for the first edition, which launches in November 2015. Help me to bring this crafty baby to life!
How The Funds Will Be Used
The remaining $138 I will put towards paying contributors (I will pay the rest out of my own pocket). Future editions of the magazine will be funded by advertising.
