Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation we are once again recording remotely as the feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive. Once again Dylan has done a great job editing the podcast into something that is hopefully listenable & as usual we’re always keen to hear your feedback so please hit us up if you’ve got any comments, questions or suggestions.
If this is your first time listening to a Beer O’Clock Australia podcast, welcome! We change the segments up a little each month, however most months we’ll discuss some of the latest news from the beer world, we’ll talk about some beers that we’ve been enjoying over the last month & we’ll crack something interesting from my cellar.
This month we’ve added in 2 new segments; a Brewery Deep Dive into one of the breweries that interest us from around the country & You Haven’t Had #&$!, basically where one of us notice that one of hasn’t had something we think the other should’ve had & we put them on the spot! There’s also a bucket load of news, a large What We’re Drinking segment & we slot Bintang into the Ranking of Lagers, before finishing with Noz’s Cellar. Hope you enjoy the episode!
