Summer's finally here!!
And along with it, good old Aussie Post brought us an early Chrissy present...3 beers from Aether Brewing's Summer of Sour release. So we thought we'd better smash it out as soon as we could in a mini episode!

Dave had the chance to visit Cornella Brewery in between a couple of Melbourne's lockdowns a few months ago, and what an awesome looking venue it is! Right near Colbinabbin in central Victoria, it shares the grounds with The Shiraz Republic, there's a stage for entertainment, plus great looking onsite cabins overlooking the vineyard. There was no punters around at the time due to ongoing restrictions, but he was able to grab a few beers, and we finally got stuck into them:

How good is this? Little Creatures sent us a couple of beers to try that we haven't had a crack at in the show yet - two of our old favourites, plus two BRAND NEW BEERS!
Little Creatures is celebrating 21 year of craft brewing with the release of a Pacific Ale and Hazy IPA, which were both released in August.
Also another surprise - for their 21st birthday, Little Creatures’ signature Pale Ale and XPA was released in cans!
Have a listen, as you can probably tell we're excited...

We're in the same shed again! Luckily we were able to catch up in person and enjoy these five cracking beers from Hops To Home.
It was another fun journey, as well as learning about the beers and breweries, along the way we also got to learn about a movie from 1966, and what's the world record for the number of dolls in a babushka doll set??

Crikey what a weird moment in time this is...it seems like almost every other capital city apart from Melbourne is on some sort of lockdown! We know how you feel, it was only a few weeks ago when we recorded this episode - and we were in lockdown as well!
So for this Bad Shepherd Brewing Co special we were in seperate sheds again, and we gasbag our way through 6 of their core range:

Victorian lockdown 4.0! Luckily Dave had the chance to get up to Mildura Brewery just before Easter, and we managed to record this brewery special just before everything in Vic went pear shaped again.
Have a listen to hear about the brewery, their beers, and even a history lesson about Big Lizzie (if you're not sure what Big Lizzie is, you sure will after listening to this episode!)
We tasted 7 of their beers:

A few weeks ago Brick Lane were kind enough to invite us to a zoom drinks with Brick lane's head brewer John Seltin and CEO Paul Bowker. Along with a few of our friends from the podcast/media world (how we got entry into that group we'll never know!), the guys from Brick Lane introduced us to two very unique beers.
They sent us a couple of extras so we could sneak out a mini episode, have a listen and hear what we thought!
Definitely a different path for Brick Lane, thanks guys for the opportunity, we look forward to what you next have in store...

We love beermail! And this might be one of furthest deliveries we've received so far - all the way from Fonzie Abbott Coffee Roaster & brewing Company in sunny Queensland!
The guys at Fonzie Abbott sent us 6 of their core range beers to try (plus a couple of hats and shirts which we'll wear with pride!).
We had a ball working our way through these beers, and with all the detailed info we had, we were even able to play the IBU guessing game...which was harder than we thought, but it turned out we weren't too shabby...
The beers we tried were:

Well bugger me if we’re not out of lockdown!Recorded while still working “remotely” our good friends @exitbrewing sent us a couple of their finest ales to sample.
That being: ⁃ IPA ⁃ IIPA
With the IPA being one of our favs we were very excited to taste and provide some expert feedback!
What cracking beers these guys make.

Despite Australia Post's best efforts to sabotage this mini episode, Brick Lane have proved that neither rain, hail or covid will stop them from getting their beers out!
As well as two ripper beers from Brick Lane Brewing, there's a lot to unpack in this mini episode...so much so that we probably should refer to it as a maxi...
We learn that one of us has never heard the song Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and the other falls asleep during Peaky Blinders so often that he has no idea what it's about.
Thanks again to Brick Lane for trying a couple of times to get these beers to us, do yourself a favour and get your hands on these where you can...

We've enjoyed a fair few Stomping Ground beers in the past, but surprisingly only ever tasted one on the podcast!
We decided we needed to rectify that, so while still in lockdown in separate sheds we got to try 6 awesome beers from Stomping Ground in Collingwood.

We love getting surprises, and this time we got two!
A few weeks ago out of the blue we got a delivery notification from AusPost, and what do you know, two new sour beers had arrived from Brick Lane Brewing!
It's a mini episode this week, so we decided to sneak it out in between a couple of others...
The Someday range is more geared towards Summer, but we'll happily drink any of Brick Lane's beers during Winter as well.
Cheers!

Crikey there's a lot going on in this one!
We cover a wide range of topics, including a geography lesson (where is the Baltic Sea??), a pop culture discussion (one of us had never heard of A Clockwork Orange...), and oh yeah, we also talk about SIX awesome beers from Hops To Home! It's like Christmas in July...

Can you believe we are up to episode 51?
We can’t believe it, but jeez Dave came across some ripper beers at the local bottle shop and couldn’t go past them.
It took Dave a while to recognise the theme, but even without reading the title I'm sure our crafty listeners would have it figured out...

For April's Hops to Home episode we're still hanging out in our own sheds, recording this episode over the phone. I guess you could say we're working from home?...although you can't really call this work!
And here's the links we chatted about during this episode:
East 9th Brewing brew Australia's first hemp beer
Your Mates Brewing enters the Shark Tank
And for those playing along at home yelling at us through your headphones/car speakers/however you listen, after discussion with Dave's wife we're now convinced it's a magpie. You'll have to listen to find out what that means!

Yep you read that right!
Now before you go searching for the thumbs down emoji we want to have the opportunity to explain ourselves!
A while ago it was suggested that we go back to our grass roots and see what the definition of "Beer" was back then and in fact still is by an overwhelming majority of the Australian population.
After the 300 odd unique beers we have tasted on this podcast, it was interesting to reminisce the days when many Victorian venues did not have more than two beers on tap, Carton Draught and Victoria Bitter.
Where did our beer journey start and which beer was our staple? Have a listen to find out...

This is exciting...Temple Brewing Co sent us 6 beers to try, and we thought we'd better sneak it out before before the weekend, because they've brewed a beer especially for the Chinese New Year! Chinese New Year is on 25th January this year, and Temple Brewing have released the 888 Mandarin Ale to help celebrate.
It's an interesting episode, we've had a couple of Temple's beers before, but there's a couple of new ones in there...and we've certainly never tried a mandarin ale from anyone before...have a listen to hear what we think as well as find out what animals in the Chinese Zodiac we are and what lay in store for us in 2020!
