September 10, 2024 Beercast #66 - Hargreaves Hill
Our love affair with Hargreaves Hill is no secret, and this new episode might just turn that love into a genuine obsession.
Once again, Andrew and the crew have supplied the podcast with five stunning, fresh and exciting beers, including some exclusive collaborations and new beer series additions.
We learn about Apollo hops, thanks to a beer of the same name.
Texas legends Celestial Beerworks get a special showcase section, thanks to the aforementioned collab.
A new West Coast IPA leaves us gobsmacked once we (possibly) discover the origins of its name and backstory.
Plus we finally delve into the history of the classicly divisive Black IPA.
All this and more on this week's very special episode of Border Barrels.
The biggest of thanks to Hargreaves Hill for their humbling generosity and impeccable brewing skills.

Cheers to Great Beers!

August 26, 2024 Beercast #65 - Big Shed Brewing
We bring you a BIG SHED, from the comfort of our small one.
It wouldn't be a Gratzy episode without a brewery from South Australia, and this week we finally take on the legends at Big Shed Brewing.
While this might be a rare 'core range only' tasting session, the boys from Old Port Road have been crafting some of the most unique and delicious beers for the better part of a decade now.
So many questions to ask through the modicum of beer consumption.
Will we enjoy our first ever Brown Ale on the pod?
Do Boozey Fruit and Golden Stout Time taste exactly like their Aussie icon inspiration points? (Spoiler. YES!)
Could two Bears fornicate on a surf board? Who cares, I guess? As long as the IPA is good! (Another spoiler. It is)
Thanks to the guys from Big Shed for being all round brewing superstars, Canberra's Plonk for supplying the goods, and Raygun for the inspiration behind our opening 5 minutes.

August 08, 2024 Beercast #64 - Noodledoof Brewery & Distillery
We love discovering new breweries through our podcast, and up and comers Noodledoof hit us right in the sweet spot this week.
New frontrunners for best brewery name in Australia? Maybe. Us 3 idiots probably need to learn how to to pronounce it correctly first.
These dooofus' supplied the podcast with some classic style brews and a humdinger of a twist on the legendary stout.
It might be deep in the winter wilderness, but the beers and vibes are keeping us happy and warm.
Thanks to our friends at The Lane Cellars in Albury (R.I.P) for the beers, and supporting the podcast for essentially our entire run!
Make sure to continue supporting them by buying online from their original store in Orange.

August 08, 2024 Beercast #63 - Hop Nation Brewing Co
This week we pledge allegiance to the hoppiest of nations, indivisible with beers and good times for all.
Footscray champions Hop Nation Brewing Co. finally get their very own episode, which we must admit is way overdue.
We visit the East and West Coast of IPA land and finish with a descent into fields of Cream and Cookies. A very special collab between Hop Nation and Bright Brewery producing stunning results on the Border Barrels beer leaderboard!
Simmo's very special fourth "beer" also might just be the most absurd and hilarious addition to our entire beer catalogue.
Thanks to Hop Nation for producing this week's fun fuel. Be sure to get down to their beautiful brewpub on Whitehall St and support some of Australia's finest!

July 16, 2024 Beercast #62 Murray Towns Co. Grand Opening Visit
Murraytowns are officially open for business!
That calls for a very special sitdown chat, as we're joined for the second time by Barry and Jodie.
Alongside these familiar legends is the third member of the Murraytowns team, Adam.
Adam is a wealth of brewing knowledge with an extensive history in the industry. We quickly discovered that it won't be easy finding a more passionate individual about the art of crafting beer.
The guys let us know how things have been going since the doors finally opened, the long journey it took to get there, plus exciting plans for the future!
Treat yourself to a Sue or a Sal, put up your feet, and enjoy a freshly poured episode of Border Barrels.
Also make sure to visit the spanking new brewpub, located at The Lincoln on the Causeway between the beautiful cities of Albury/Wodonga.

June 10, 2024 Beercast #61 - Bentspoke Brewing Co.
We've been fortunate on Border Barrels to be gifted interview opportunities, stubbie holders, shirts and most importantly, beer.
To be given that important final gift by an OG of the Australian craft beer scene still has us pinching ourselves.
The mighty BentSpoke, from our nations capital, supply the POD with 5 core range bangers, including our very first 0% beer, as well as classic experimentals in the tasty Flemm and exhilarating Muther Funker.
If you do find yourself in Canberra, PLEASE visit their fantastic brewpub in Braddon. The extended taplist is always pouring exciting, brand new beers.
For now, kick back with a Crankshaft and enjoy our BentSpoke Brewery Showcase.

May 28, 2024 Beercast #60 - Cypher Brewing Co
Holy hell.
We love a good discovery as much as a good beer drinking session. Combine the two and it's deadset heaven for the Border Barrels crew.
We take a trip via tastebuds to our nation's capital, with new kids on the block at Cypher Brewing.
This journey has LEVELS.
We ease our way into 6 delicious beers, beginning with a tasty little standard Aussie Pale, concluding with a trifecta of a sour and 2 double IPA's, all clocking in at over 7%!
As a result, we must apologise for the tangents about WWE, various television programs and parenting anecdotes.
At least Canberra gets a solid tourism plug!
Thanks to Cypher Brewing for an unforgettable afternoon. We hope to visit you soon.

May 08, 2024 Beercast #59 - Avnge Brewing
It's another brewery introductory episode of Border Barrels, but with an extra boozy twist.
Simmo has been busy behind the scenes forging friendships with the legends at AVNGE brewing! What's the aforementioned twist, you ask?
SEVEN delicious beers, put to the test by our unique ratings system. Oh, and we recorded at night as well. Far less lawnmower related background noise as a result.
Cool can art, great blurbs and exceptional independent Australian beer is all we ever ask for, and AVNGE fulfilled those wishes.
As always, we also dive into the history of the brewery and discover how they came to be.
Thanks to the team at AVNGE for their generosity in supplying us with beers for this week's episode. We can't wait to see what comes next.

May 02, 2024 Beercast #59 - Bracket Brewing
( )
We're heading back to the craft beer Mecca, for one of Sydney's finest breweries you may have never tried.
The exceptional father-son duo over at Bracket Brewing have been whipping out incredible beers for a handful of hop-filled years now, and the Border Barrels crew have finally done their deep dive.
Possibly the greatest Maibock to exist, a fresh West Coast Pilsner and a unique (and brilliant) IPA are on the menu this week.
The weather is still fine, the beers are still brilliant and the good vibes are ongoing in this week's brewery showcase episode.
Thanks to The Oak Barrell for supplying the beers, and Bracket Brewery for being one of Australia’s most underrated and rising superstars.

April 12, 2024 Beercast #57 - Shout Brewing
Hudson's turn to supply beers this week, and we're glad it was his Shout!
The puns might be poor, but Shout Brewing's beers certainly weren't.
Unlike the standard 3 cans generally on offer, Hudo has supplied the POD with 5 of Shout's finest works, including 4 core range beers and 1 limited edition release.
These rising stars from Islington, NSW won't be a best keep secret for long, so get in on the ground floor alongside the Border Barrels lads and tell all your friends it's their Shout.
(Sorry, again).
Thanks to the team at Shout Brewing for the delicious brews.
