  • Beercast #73 - High Country Brewery Trail Rule 47 Brew Day

    Well, there's something to tick off the bucket list!

    When starting our beer journey in podcast form, something we hoped to achieve was being part of a brew day. Thanks to our besties at Mountain Monk Brewers, we were able to make that dream a reality.

    Our vision board certainly didn't involve a special collaborative beer, nor did it necessarily involve 7 other High Country legends. Most significantly, we never thought we'd be on hand to witness (and be a small part of) the creation of the annual Rule 47 Victorian High Country beer! But here we are. The luckiest craft nerds on the planet. As a bonus, podcast favourite Punky (Mountain Monk Brewers) joins us for a chat to discuss everything about the creation, collaboration and what to expect from the epic new brew.

    Special thanks to the team at Mountain Monk Brewers for hosting the day, and the incredibly passionate, talented and friendly brewers who we met, spoke and drank with. In no particular order, thanks Bridge Road Brewers, King River Brewing, Crank Handle Brewery, Bright Brewery, Last St. Brewery, Mitta Mitta Brewing Co and Black Dog Brewery, plus North East Tourism for also being superstars.

  • Beercast #72 - Capital Brewing Co.

    Completing the trifecta of first class Canberra breweries, we finally showcase Fyshwick legends, Capital! The Border Barrels team were generously gifted an all-time care package, containing 7 delicious beers, ranging from an alcohol free pacific ale to a FRESH collaborative New World IPA. There is massive ground to cover this week, as Capital have left a huge imprint on the scene throughout a decade of operation. As well as taste testing their finest work, we discover the individuals themselves behind the business, as well as their impressive inclusion in the Climate Active scheme.There's historical Untappd reviews, GABS countdown stats, general tomfoolery, a surprise dessert and your usual dose of poorly worded tasting notes. Sit back, crack a Trail Pale and immerse yourself in our Capital Brewing showcase episode. Thanks to Maws for being a legend, and the rest of the team that makes Capital who they are.https://capitalbrewing.co/Cheers to Great Beers!Reach out to us at our website: https://borderbarrelspodcast.com/ ORInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/borderbarrelspodcast/Podcast available on all your favourite podcast platforms.Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3H0aRnhApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3080NIb

  • Beercast #71 - GABS Hottest 100 Special

    This week on Border Barrels, we're celebrating all things GABS and the hottest 100 countdown!

    We put last years top 5 to our Border Barrels rating test, with some surprising and not-so-surprisng results.
    We also take a deep dive into past countdowns, reminisce about some of our favourite beers of yesteryear, plus reveal our very own, unique top 5's for the upcoming edition!
    It's been a long hot summer, and it's great to be back with a hot, average length episode.
    Cheers to great beers.

  • Beercast #70 - Bucketty's Brewing Co

    It's brewery discovery week in the Border Barrels studio, and Gratzy has supplied the POD with 6 tasty treats from Brookvale's rising stars, Bucketty's!

    These bigger tasting sessions generally revolve around a brewery we aren't yet familiar with. The most rewarding part is realising that ignorance is entirely our mistake!

    A stunning Ginger Beer (+ lime) adds a new style to our database, while an XPA brewed with Norwegian super yeast and a delectable West Coast IPA also yield big results.

    Somehow (blame the beers), conversation veers towards Quakers and Red Frogs, as well as a hilariously unfortunate entry read in it's entirety ripped straight from the Bucketty's blog.

    If you can forgive Gratzy for quoting the incorrect purchase price then there are liquid nuggets of gold to be found everywhere on this week's episode of Border Barrels.

    Thanks to the team at Bucketty's Brewing Co for being legends, as well as mighty fine craftsmen of our favourite beverage.

  • Beercast #69 - Ocean Reach Brewing

    Thank goodness Hudson loves a family holiday. More specifically, thank goodness Hudson (seemingly) plans his family holidays around the best breweries Australia has to offer.
    This week, he takes us inside his journey to Phillip Island, with our booze buds from Ocean Reach Brewing acting as the local guide.
    This is a rather special episode, with a collection of 3 of the best IPA's we've sampled in a long time, as well as a delicious stout as a decadent little treat.
    If there is one thing we learnt this week, it's that the immensely talented team at Ocean Reach might collectively be the most underrated hop-juice slingers in Australia.
    Don't sleep on them!
    Thanks to Ocean Reach Brewing for the beers, and Hudson for bringing them home.

  • Beercast #68 - Good Land Brewing

    On this week's episode we take a long-awaited trip to Traralgon's Good Land Brewing Co.!

    Our journey sees us navigate through a brief history of Jimmy Krekelberg's vision of a cracking brew, followed by 3 big limited beers.
    Stops include a dessert for a refreshing Salted Lime and Agave Gose, New Zealand for a light, Fuzzy IPA, and pure flavour-town with a delicious, classic West Coast IPA.
    We also get serious for a minute, highlighting the ongoing battle the independent brewers of Australia are facing thanks to ridiculous excise taxes. Do your bit and send a letter to your local MP today!
    Thanks to Good Land Brewing Co. for the great beers and Beer Cartel for supplying them this week.

  • Beercast #67 - Small Gods Brewing (NZ)

    They might actually be Giants!

    Small Gods by name, big beers by nature.
    For just the second time in Border Barrels history, we cross the ditch to New Zealand for a brewery showcase. Auckland's Small God's stunned our senses with a delicious assault of hops, wheat and extra thicc malts.
    An orange and clove Belgian dark strong ale takes the number 1 spot for most unexpectedly, awesomely unique beer we've ever sampled, (although we're not sure if that's an actual category).
    Elsewhere, a lassi mango sour hits us right in the fresh spot, while a combination of stouts brings the podcast home, with our heads hitting pillows not long after.
    For those viewing on YouTube, we apologise for visual issues that plagued us at the end. You might have to drink a bit of those with your ears instead.
    Thanks Small God's for being our new beer deity, Modern Liquid for facilitating the purchase, and all of you who tune in each to see what we'll taste next!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
