19 Aug 2024
00:51:54
Welcome back to the Beer O'Clock podcast, it's been a long, long time between drinks!

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 This episode we cover, in true Beer O'Clock fashion, plenty of (very, very) outdated news, add two lagers to our master list & crack a cellar offering.

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 This may be our most out of date episode ever - as seen by the insert for breaking news we put in from almost 2 months ago...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 This episode we cover, in true Beer O'Clock fashion, plenty of (very) outdated news, wrap-up 6 months of brewing awards, check out a new Victorian brewery, take a brewery tour of Adelaide & add a Israeli lager to the Ranking of Lagers &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

All Things Bright Brewery with Evin Craney
23 Sep 2021
00:30:24
As a special Grand Final Eve eve treat we have an interview for you all! We've been meaning to get Evin on the podcast for a couple of months to discuss Bright's Paktech Recycling Initiative. For a multitude of reasons it got delayed until we managed to catchup over Zoom this week. It worked out in our favour as we were able to have a far more wide reaching chat than we were initially intending. Evin is a seriously passionate guy & it comes across really well. In this chat we cover a wide range of topics from sustainability & recycling, staff injuries, Bright's evolving position in the market through 15 years of operation, COVID's impact on the business & so much more. We hope you enjoy!

This episode we were able to catchup between lockdowns & managed to bring back two of our most loved segments; the cellar - this time raiding Dylan's cellar - & the desert island 6-pack, where we pick our favourite Victorian Brewpubs. There's also the usual stuff like outdated, only minorly this time, news from around the brewing world and the ranking of lagers. There is plenty of good content so get stuck in!

Episode 29 - A Good Beer Week & A Bad Little Lockdown
18 Jun 2021
01:16:41
As I said last month, with any luck, one day soon, you'll see a Beer O'Clock post that isn't just a new podcast episode... Lots of stuff is going on behind the scenes, 5 or 6 posts are nearing completion, which will hopefully turn into a rush of posts in the not too distant future. Hopefully you enjoy the episode!
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, although recent restrictions are making this difficult...
This episode is more timely than some of our recent efforts. There is a mountain of news to get through, due to the length of time between recording our news segments. We discuss our various Good Beer Week shenanigans as well as some of the beers we've enjoyed recently & add the national beer of Serbia to our Ranking of Lagers.

Belgian Beer: From a Garage to Ashmore with Annelies Nijskens (Madocke)
22 May 2021
00:23:23
I hope those of you who have been able to get to Melbourne have enjoyed the triumphant return of Good Beer Week. We've got a special interview for you today with one of the country's up and coming breweries, that many of you outside the Gold Coast will never have heard of; Madocke. Special thanks to Dylan for conducting this interview in my absence & to Annelies for giving up some of her evening to have a chat.
Her story (& husband Jimmy's) from Belgium to one of the most unusual breweries you've seen to a soon to open brewery & taproom in Ashmore is one of the most unique in an industry where stories often seem to be cut from the same cloth. With the opening of their new facility I think people beyond the Gold Coast will soon be hearing a log more about these fantastic people making wonderful beer!

Craft Beer Crew (CBC) Update with Matt Brown
22 Apr 2021
00:23:04
As many of you would be aware, Australia's largest craft beer focussed Facebook group was shut down without warning earlier this month. We're joined by the founder of Australian Craft Beer Crew (CBC), Matt Brown, to talk us through the origin of CBC and update everyone on what's happening with CBC.
Please help Matt out by liking the page: https://www.facebook.com/CraftBeerCrewAu
And by joining the new group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/australiancraftbeercrew
Special thanks to Matt for giving up some of his evening to have a chat, he was a wonderful guest, incredibly passionate about the industry & we can only wish him all the best with his endeavours to resurrect the wonderful community he had built.
If you've got this far, firstly congratulations, secondly, I have a favour to ask. Dylan, myself & a few like minded individuals are doing a 24 hour video game stream over the 1st & 2nd of May to raise money for Berry Street, a charity that does wonderful work with Australia's young & vulnerable. We would love for you to join us on the day over at https://www.twitch.tv/totallyrealrobot & to donate to a great cause at https://www.mycause.com.au/page/249300/peak-performance-2021. Thanks for the indulgence guys, I really hope you've enjoyed the episode.
Episode 25 - The Late Hottest 100 and Ballarat Blues
09 Mar 2021
01:09:28
This episode is very much a classic Beer O'Clock Australia Podcast; it's late, it's long, there's minor technical difficulties (hopefully not too noticeable) & it's pretty good (if we do say so ourselves!). There's a whole heap of very outdated news, we discuss the Hottest 100 results & talk about some new beers & breweries we've visited, what a joy being able to do that again! Due to being a bit time poor we remotely add just one lager to our Ranking of Lagers segment. Hope you enjoy!

Episode 18 - The Otter's Promise & Lockdown Sequelitis

Episode 18 - Show Notes
Melbourne is back in COVID-19 lockdown & so is the Beer O'Clock Australia Podcast. Hopefully the podcast brings you more joy than lockdown... Hope everyone out there is coping with the constantly evolving situation we all find ourselves in. We've got a bumper episode for you all this week!
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 month there was a heap of news to get through, highlighted (lowlighted?) by the recent mainstream coverage of Blackhearts & Sparrows decision to stop stopping Colonial Brewing beers because of the connotations of the name. We feature our first ever interview on the podcast, with Dan Taranto from The Otter's Promise talking about the impact of COVID-19 on his business. We also managed to slot a Ukrainian lager into the Ranking of Lagers as well as discussing Range Brewing at length. Hope you all enjoy!
