  • Beercast #53 - Bacchus Brewing Co.

    Simmo brought the goods for this week's episode, and 'goods' is absolutely the tamest way to describe it.

    Ladies and gentlemen, the first unanimous 5/5 in Border Barrels history now resides in episode 53 of our Brewery Showcase series.

    Although it sounds like we're thanking Simmo, all the kudos goes to QLD legends Bacchus Brewing!
    Despite being familiar with their work, we all learnt some crazy things about their history and work ethic. Some of the pioneer innovators in the Australian craft beer scene that we adore so much.
    It probably shouldn't be too surprising that the favourite beer of the day was a big, old stout, but you'll have to click play to find out the extra special ingredients of the brew currently ranked 1st of almost 100 in our journey.
    Thanks to Bacchus for the wonderful afternoon and Hopheads for facilitating their consumption.

  • Beercast #52 - Dainton Beer

    How did it take us this long?

    One of Australia’s favourite independent breweries finally gets their Border Barrels showcase episode, as 3 limited released beers from Victorian stalwarts Dainton are sampled on this week's episode.
    A GABs exclusive Choc Berry nitro sour kicks off proceedings.
    What follows are two absolute crackers, confirmed by our collective Untapped ratings.
    A collaborative anniversary 10 Hop NEIPA with New Zealand’s Bohemeth (Chur), and a rare (for us) black IPA, which is a roasty boy of epic proportions.
    Also included: Your usual shit banter and slightly interesting information on any topic the beer steers us in.
    Example: Does love making require mouthguards?
    You'd be happy to know we don't go into any detail on this particular question.
    Thanks to Dainton for a dynamic trio of brews, and The Lane Cellars for once again supplying the goods.

  • Beercast #51 - Hawkers Beer

    We should have known something was up when Hudson told us to organise lifts to the podcast this week.

    Upon arrival we were greeted to 3 of the BIGGEST beers in Border Barrels history, courtesy of Melbourne heavyweights Hawkers.
    Gratzy's heart is warmed by an obscure music reference for the Impending Doom Triple Hazy IPA.

    Simmo gets his Biscuits Broken for the second time, in awe of the delectable Biscoff Porter, while all 3 of us marvel in terror & anticipation at the FIRST Barleywine we've ever reviewed!
    Thankfully we didn't continue recording after we'd finished these incredible, booze-heavy brews, because Shenanigan Sunday was in full swing and nobody needed to hear the rubbish we carried on with.
    For an episode and a Sunday afternoon we'll never forget, Hawkers, we thank you.
    Be sure to check out their first class core range, available where all good beer is sold.

    Plus a special thanks to My Beer Dealer for supplying this week's products.
    Up the Hawkers!

  • Beercast #50 - Oktoberfest

    Prost!

    Boy oh boy, this was a fun one!
    The Border Barrels crew presents a very special OKTOBERFEST episode, sparing absolutely no expense with kranskys, sauerkraut, lederhosen, and EIGHT German style beers on offering.
    This fantastic journey wouldn't have been possible without Melbourne’s Burnley Brewing and their limited edition Oktoberfest pack. 8 beers, including 6 collaborations with some of Australia's finest breweries (yes, even Mountain Culture!)
    We all learnt something about our favourite German styles, shared stories of our own Oktoberfest experiences (with mixed results), and hung shit on one another like always.
    If only one of us had considered bringing a stein...
    Thanks again to Burnley Brewing for a truly unique and educational beer drinking experience.
    And Germany for inventing beer. Which may or may not be true.

  • Beercast #49 - Kicks Brewing

    Kickin' it old school style!

    Well, sorta.
    Simmo brings along some delicious brews from rising Marrickville stars Kicks, which includes the VERY FIRST Kolsch in Border Barrels history.
    More on brand are the Hazy and Cold IPA variations which are also sampled.
    We dig into the super cool can artwork to ignite our creative juices, subsequently ending with David and Margaret level observation of Christopher Nolan's films.
    How did one lead to the other? Much like Tenent, we have no idea.
    Thanks to Kicks Brewing for a tasty afternoon and The Lane Cellars for supplying the goods.

  • Beercast #48 - Seeker Brewing

    We're all seekers of something.

    For some, it's as heavy as the emotional security of lifelong happiness, perhaps sought after in career goals, children or overcoming lifelong anxieties.
    For us at Border Barrels, we tend to seek out beer. Good beer. REALLY good beer. Thankfully, up and coming Wollongong superstars Seeker Brewing have fulfilled our desires.
    We take a look at the short but rich history of the brewery, then start things off easy with a core range hazy session stunner.
    From 0 to 100, we then jump into a massive Oat Cream NEIPA and cap off proceedings with a decadent Imperial Stout.
    We also discover who brewed one of Simmo's favourite GABS beers (hint: It's Seeker). Then as usual, everything goes off the rails as Ferrets become a momentary conversation topic.
    Thanks to Seeker brewing for making incredible beers and The Lane Cellars for supplying the goods.

  • Beercast #47 - Garage Project

    Coffee vs Tea...

    An age old debate.
    But on a beer podcast?
    It can only mean one thing, and that's experimental brew time. For the first time ever, our Brewery Showcase series goes international, courtesy of a very special trio of limited release beers from New Zealand masters Garage Project.
    Ingredients we've never heard of are thrown into our podcast whirlpool, resulting in a one-of-a-kind tasting experience.
    A sour, a porter and a hazy fill the bill, but these styles only scratch the surface of what these beers actually present.
    Thank you to Garage Project, for allowing us to bring you OUR garage project, live from the Not So Good Shed.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Enjoy.

  • 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.
