We're back with two great chats this week, Bakery Hill Distillery who are about to open a venue in Kensington and Ramblers Ale Works in Hawthorn.

You can grab the tasting pack for the Ramblers Beers from our online store here: https://the-coolroom-podcast.myshopify.com/products/ramblers-ale-works-mixed-8-pack

We learn all about the history of Bakery Hill Distillery from David and Andrew Baker, and why they've decided that Kensington is the perfect place to open a venue. And as a special little treat we get some insights into the processes that involve their barrels making Hop Nation's Kalash one of the most loved beers in Australia.

Then it's off to meet Ben & Ben from Ramblers Ale Works in our Thursday night zoom room. We hear all about their journey from homebrew enthusiasts to opening a venue and brewery with all the ups and downs that the journey brings.

We get insights into their brewing tricks particularly when making European styles or using coconut in a way that doesn't taste like Sabro. 

We find out what it means to be selected as an Up and Coming Brewer for the next GABS festival, Warren gets excited by the use of lasers in creating nanotechnology while Davydd predictably goes down a rabbit hole of local government plebiscite formulations.

Stay tuned for the third instalment of our trilogy with Hawkers Beer out next week!
