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 This episode we cover, in true Beer O’Clock fashion, plenty of (very, very) outdated news, add two lagers to our master list & crack a cellar offering.
