Welcome back to the Beer O’Clock podcast, it’s been a long, long time between drinks! I’ve had an incredibly hectic last couple of months, which has seen the podcast fall by the wayside a little. I’ve got to issue a small apology to Nick Becker from Konvoy, our interview subject this episode, for the tardiness in getting this up!
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 This episode we cover, in true Beer O’Clock fashion, plenty of (very) outdated news, roll out the scouting report for Kaiju’s (relatively) new brewery, interview Nick Becker from Konvoy Kegs, add a Mauritian lager to the Ranking of Lagers & drink something from the back of the cellar!
