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, & the website for that matter, fall by the wayside a little. This may be our most out of date episode ever – as seen by the insert for breaking news we put in from almost 2 months ago…
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 This episode we cover, in true Beer O’Clock fashion, plenty of (very) outdated news, wrap-up 6 months of brewing awards, check out a new Victorian brewery, take a brewery tour of Adelaide & add a Israeli lager to the Ranking of Lagers & drink something from the back of the cellar!
