Welcome back to the Beer O’Clock podcast, it’s been a long, long time between drinks! It feels like every month I’m apologizing for how hectic it’s been around here – but maybe that is just the new normal… With any luck this is the first of a few episodes that we get out roughly a month or so apart.

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 This episode we cover, in true Beer O’Clock fashion, plenty of (very, very) outdated news, provide our thoughts on the Hottest 100, roll out the scouting report & discuss some of the beers and trends we’ve noticed so far in 2023.
