September 04, 2023 Beercast #46 - Bridge Road Bday Beers!
We hope you enjoy the letter B! You'll have no choice after this episode.
Border Barrels.
Beers.
Brewery.
Bridge Road.
Beechworth.
B2 Bomber.
Bees!
A stunning Spring afternoon was the setting for a very special showcase. Local legends Bridge Road were generous enough to supply the podcast with not one, but TWO yearly limited release B2 Bombers.
These are mammoth beers, so you'll need to forgive the subsequent chaos that reigned.
Thanks to Rhi and the team in Beechworth for supplying us with these beauties.

August 28, 2023 Beercast #45 - Co-Conspirators
After a late winter sabbatical, the Border Barrels crew returns to the Not So Good Shed for a deliciously malty afternoon, courtesy of Brunswick champions Co-Conspirators Brewing.
Unlike our usual offering, this week's tasting paddle isn't full of hop-forward juicy IPAs.
Instead, we confirm what we'd been suspecting for a while... dark Lagers rule.
Simmo’s favourite Red IPA of all time is another highlight, as well as a chocolaty Baltic Poter to bring it all home.
We also have a look at the history of the brewery, some interesting statistics from their UnTapped ratings, and give credit where it's due to their incredible graphic designer.
Thanks to Co-Conspirators for the fantastic beers, The Lane Cellars for supplying them, and our fearless leader Simmo, for jumping back into the saddle after a difficult couple of months.

July 17, 2023 Beercast #43 - Mountain Monk Brewers
The final stop on our trek up Beer Mountain lands us at the West Peak hotel in beautiful Mount Beauty!
We spent an afternoon tasting beers and shooting the cool winter breeze with our new friends at Mountain Monk Brewers.
Punky, Mick and Steph talk us through the rich history of the unique venue, the origins of their beer journeys, and give us a preview of things to come with an advanced taster of their coffee milk stout!
We felt as though we'd known these legends for years, which I'm sure will be quite evident throughout our conversation. Plus, their hypothetical beer and music festival line-up certainly tickled the fancies of our tastes!
Thank you to the team at Mountain Monk and the West Peak Hotel for their humbling generosity. This is just the beginning of what we hope will be an ongoing collaborative relationship between the Monks and the Border Barrels boys.

July 10, 2023 Beercast #42 - Mountain Culture @ Beer Deluxe Albury
When starting this little beer journey, you could have knocked us over with a coriander leaf if you told us we'd be interviewing Mountain Culture for a Beer Deluxe tap takeover event.

Well... consider us floored by a famously Mexican condiment!
Sales superstar Jonny not only kept up with our typical motor-mouthed banter, he damn well eclipsed all of us for insight, opinion and banter on all things Mountain Culture and the wider craft beer scene.

Along for the ride was a tasting paddle consisting of 2 limited release IPAs, GABS hottest 100 winner Status Quo, a Double Red IPA and classic Moon Dust stout.

Thanks to Jonny for being so generous with his time, Mountain Culture for the incredible beers, and Beer Deluxe Albury for allowing us the space to record.
Please enjoy this final instalment (for now) of our Mountain Culture trilogy!

July 03, 2023 Beerscast #41 - Mountain Culture II
Okay, so we know the sequel is rarely as good as the original.
However!...
Since this particular brewery resides in the remnants of a Civic Video store, you'll need to have some faith that our SECOND Mountain Culture showcase episode is just as good as its predecessor.
The hops on show, including box office draw Citra, put in amazing performances worthy of recognition come award season.
This single hop series from the Katoomba legends has tantalised our taste buds and enriched our beer education. Thank you to DJ, Harriet and the amazing team at Mountain Culture.
Now, about that trilogy...

June 25, 2023 Beercast #40 - Mountain Culture
Mighty Mountain Culture.
Three words, chiselled into the refined palates of craft beer drinkers Australia wide. The Border Barrels team finally take the deep plunge into Katoomba's finest, with a series of massive, single hop IPA's.
We learn about Sabro, Comet and Centennial, as well as just how close our very own Hudson is to joining Tom Cruise levels of cult worship.
Not to be outdone, Simmo struggles to hide his affection for Harriet and her whimsical wordplay, which creates the true cult of personality for the mighty Mountain Culture.
Best in Australia? You voted yes in this year's GABS hottest 100.
Best in the world? Surely it's only a matter of time.

June 19, 2023 Beercast #39 - One Drop Brewing II
A massive thank you to our new friends at One Drop Brewing Co, who were nice enough to support the podcast with two massively unique, limited release beers.
We had no choice but to record a sequel on these guys, and the glitter sour from the first episode MIGHT have been dethroned for taste and creativity. The Double Fruited Smoothie Sour poured THICC, loaded with mango, guava, banana and vanilla.
A unique hop experience courtesy of a collaborative brew with Dogma (from Serbia!), greeted us warmly as well.
Plus a surprise third beer hand picked by us!
Thanks again to One Drop for allowing us to get our hop Drop on again, and all the new listeners and viewers who are supporting our journey through the wonderful world of Australian (and Serbian) craft beer.

June 12, 2023 Beercast #38 - Sure Brewing
Want to hear about a cool, new brewery and 5 of their delicious beers? SURE you do.
In fact, we are so SURE you'll enjoy this weeks showcase episode of Border Barrels that we'd wager a beer on it. Only if it's a 300% Dynamite Red IPA, or a massive Kisses & Hugs Imperial Stout.
SURE does sound like an enticing bet, doesn't it?
If you hadn't already realised, SURE Brewing has arrived. John and the team were generous enough to supply this week's podcast with FIVE awesome brews, from a Gose and NZ Lager, to the aforementioned bet beers, as well as a tasty West Coast IPA.
The really cool selling point? Each beer has its own Spotify playlist, inspired by the vibe of the beer itself.
Support these new (but also old) kids on the block, and say SURE when you spot their beers out and about.

June 05, 2023 Beercast #37 - Hargreaves Hill II
Humbled by the generosity and inspired by the quality, this week's episode of Border Barrels is the first ever sequel showcase.
The absolute legends from Hargreaves Hill supplied us with a decadent bounty of IPAs and 2 MASSIVE stouts.
The Team World IPA is the Grand Finale of our initial Hargreaves Hill showcase POD. A combination of 6 incredible hops, brought together like a United Nations of flavours.
The annual R.I.S is a heavy stout release, with pure indulgence its intention. To add an extra boozy wrinkle to our Sunday afternoon, we then sample the bourbon barrel aged version of the same beer.
We cannot thank Andrew and the team at Hargreaves Hill enough for a wonderful afternoon of exploration.
Be sure to check out all the suppliers that we reference during the episode to get your hands on the beers sampled this week.

May 31, 2023 Beercast #36 - Murray Towns Brewing
HOW LUCKY ARE WE?!
A wonderful experience for the Border Barrels lads, as Jodie and Barry from Murray Towns Brewing Co. joined us for a relaxing Sunday afternoon session at The Woolhouse in Albury.
These generous gentlemen supplied us with all the exclusives!
Two development beers being the immediate highlight (Jodie is an absolute magician), plus all the exciting details of a future Murray Towns brewpub. We can already taste A Beer Named Sue, sure to be pouring on opening night.
Jodie and Barry also provided us with details of their own personal beer journeys, and what ultimately lead to the creation of Murray Towns (Hint: It almost had a very different, hilarious name).
Make sure to check our their current range of beers, available at select local venues on tap and in cans at local beer dealers.
Thanks again to Barry and Jodie, as well as Gav and the team at The Woolhouse for allowing us to use their wonderful venue for this podcast.
