“I would highly recommend Nick and the ‘The Business of Beer’ to any brewery that is looking for an exceptionally experienced advisor.
Nick brings a wealth of experience garnered from senior roles in a variety of business types, sizes and scale. He applies that experience with ease and delivers his advice in an easy going and collegiate manner, ensuring that everyone in a team buys in to the work he is tyring to achieve on your behalf.
I have had the pleasure of working with Nick in various capacities for over 3 years now and couldn’t speak more highly of the man or the achievements he has made for our organisation and for individual breweries alike.
Do yourself a favour and find the resources to do that business planning, new financial modelling, strategy planning or review you have wanted to do but don’t have the skills or the time. With Nicks practical and focus on ROI you won’t regret it.”

We at Rallings Labels, Stickers and Packaging first heard about Nick Boots “The Business Of Beer” through a Brews News “Beer Is a Conversation” podcast and felt we could use his help in guiding us through the next phase of our business.  We engaged Nick to do a day seminar, looking at all aspects of the business and then worked through a Vision Statement, Mission Statement and also a path to navigate to take the business forward over the next few years.

Nick was extremely approachable, down to earth and very good to work with.  We consider his business to be part of our business and we have no hesitation in recommending him to any like minded business who requires someone from outside their business to come in with an open mind and look at where a business may need to go to improve in all areas.

Nick Boots isn’t just a brewing industry veteran, but he has worked in it across many different businesses which provides him with a uniquely broad perspective into the way it works. I regularly seek out and always value his insights and observations.

“ As the founder and CEO of Kegstar at the time, I chose Bootsy as the General Manager of Kegstar ANZ amongst an extensive field of experienced industry executives.Over his tenure, Bootsy utilised his extensive commercial skills and industry knowledge to extensively growth the team, revenue and profit of this business. It was therefore predictable to see him poached by Stone & Wood to join the team and then end up as their General Manager; a tenure that resulted in record breaking results.
More recently, as Co-Founder of White Bay Beer Co, I engaged Bootsy through his firm. The Business of Beer, to review White Bay’s business strategy, product portfolio, taproom and sales structure which has led to a better team culture, a more focussed sales strategy and rhythm, and an uplift in revenue. ”
