With 2/3rds of the year gone I thought it best to update you all on where we’re up to with The Year of Local stuff. I didn’t get anything done on my Hawaiian flights or holiday, which has put us a little further behind than I would’ve liked. As of today, there are 167 breweries/brewing companies in Victoria – we’ve lost a few this year, while gaining more by the day! I’ve complete 59 profiles & have plenty more that have at least been started.
That means there are, at least, 108 brewery profiles still to finish; there are 121 days left in 2019… It’s certainly possible that we’ll finish this challenge on time, but it’s going to require more content than I’ve pumped out in a long time! The good news is that I’ve got a lot of the visiting out of the way – there’s still a few regions to get to, but that’s more than manageable. The trick now is to track down a few more of the beers from brewers without taprooms.
There are quite a few breweries that I’m hearing are close to opening including a few in pretty far out of the way regional places. I would never wish anyone’s business ill-will, however my life would be a lot easier if there are some inexplicable delays at a couple of prospective breweries… In any case, I better stop writing this post and get back to writing up the High Country breweries that I visited last weekend!
Remember it’s always Beer O’Clock somewhere in the world!
