b'Just about everywhere we go, we hear opinions on the IBA. How it\\u2019s doing, what it should be doing, what it shouldn\\u2019t be doing and what it should be doing differently.\\xa0\\nWe have opined on this ourselves.\\nBut we also hear a lot about why breweries consider it\\u2019s not worth joining or why they are leaving, and this often involves suggestions that the association isn\\u2019t doing enough in some areas, or is focusing on the wrong areas. Often there\\u2019s little understanding of the enormity of the association\\u2019s task just in dealing with governments at all levels on issues that are critical to the daily operation of every brewery, whether a member of the association or not.\\xa0\\nWhile we were in Canberra for the Hottest 100 Countdown, we took the opportunity to sit down with Richard and Kylie to try to understand what the IBA does, outside of its most visible work on the Indie Seal, the Indies and BrewCon just to give listeners an understanding of why having an association that represents the interests of brewers is so important.\\nIf you like what we do at Radio Brews News you can help us out by:\\n\\nSponsoring the show\\n\\nReviewing us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favourite podcasting service\\n\\nEmailing us at producer@brewsnews.com.au to share your thoughts'
