May 22, 2023 Beercast #35 - Bridge Road Brewers
We upgraded to the REAL Goods Shed this time, to bring you a special showcase episode on local legends Bridge Road. We chat with even bigger legend Rhiannon about her role at Beechworth's finest establishment, as well as tasting this year's Hop Harvest releases.

Rhiannon talks us through her journey from craft beer drinker to Bridge Road rep, and gives us the backstory behind the Hazy Harvest and Dark Harvest which we taste tested live. SPOILER ALERT: Both were absolutely delicious.
Thank you to Rhiannon and Bridge Road for allowing us the opportunity to talk all things beer, and The Goods Shed for hosting the evening.

April 30, 2023 Beercast #34 - One Drop Brewing
Have you ever had watermelon glitter?
What about sour alcoholic crumble?
We hadn't either, but thanks to One Drop Brewing Co now we have! Hudd provides the POD with 3 massively creative beers from Botany legends One Drop, featuring sours, lemonades and a huge IPA. We also discover exactly what 'Clean Fusion' (a One Drop Trademark) actually means.
There's cool beers, crap jokes, GABS exclusives, brewery rankings, and an INSANELY awesome surprise from our new friends at Lost Palms.
Thanks to One Drop, My Beer Dealer, and The Lane Cellars.

April 23, 2023 Beercast #33 - Shapeshifter Brewing
Gratzy clearly stayed up all night howling at the Moon, because along with some delicious Shapeshifter beers, he brought a strained, raspy voice to the POD this week.
The cure? How about an IPL, a Nordic Hazy, a big Oat Cream and a WILDCARD entry?!
We take a look at the history of Adelaide's Shapeshifter Brewing Co while sampling some of their finest new releases, straight from the source itself courtesy of a special delivery driver.
We also continue with our list of beers to look out for at this years GABS festival.
Thank you to Shapeshifter Brewing, Jason our delivery man, plus new and existing subscribers for showing an interest in our journey. Tell your friends, because we have plenty more breweries to explore and we want more friends to take on the ride with us.

April 17, 2023 Beercast #32 - Hargreaves Hill
Get ready to raise a glass to national pride on this episode of Border Barrels! The legendary brewers from Hargreaves Hill have brewed up a triple threat of IPAs, each inspired by a hop country of origin.
It's a friendly competition between Team USA, Team Australia, and Team New Zealand, with Citra, Galaxy, and Nectaron hops vying for the top spot. Which hop will win your taste buds over? With every beer being as delicious as advertised, we're all winners in the end!
But that's not all - we'll also take a deep dive into Hargreaves Hill's rich brewing history, exploring some of their previous limited releases and sharing our historical Untapped ratings. And a special thanks to Otters Promise for supplying these tasty treats for us to enjoy.
Join us as we sip, savor, and celebrate the craft beer world with Hargreaves Hill's amazing brews. Cheers to good beer and good times!

April 09, 2023 Beercast #31 - Easter Special (Part One)
It may be the holiest of long weekends, but aint no act of God gonna slow down the Border Barrels train.
The Not So Good Shed is greeted to a severe downpour, rendering recording a hopeless task. Thankfully we were able to use the inconvenience as a much needed half time break.
Why a half time break you ask? Well we present to both you and ourselves the Beer Cartel Easter pack, choc full of malty, alcoholic goodness in limited edition beer form.
We won't spoil the fun, but come join us on a Good Friday adventure down a deliciously decadent craft beer rabbit hole

April 02, 2023 Beercast #30 - Lost Palms
We like to think we're a professional, well organised trio. This week's Brewery Showcase doesn't necessarily change that, but there are more twists, turns and genuine LOL's than we ever could have expected.
It's Gratzy's turn to supply the beers, but through coincidence (or telepathy) Huddo inevitably brings extras as we dive DEEP into an unprecedented FIVE limited release brews from Queensland's Lost Plams Brewing Co. In other words, WILDCARD BITCHES.
IPA's, Sours and the very first Flemmish Red Ale greet our tastebuds this week. The crew from Miami floor us with some of the most unique beers ever sampled on the POD.
Thanks to Lost Palms for an extraordinary afternoon and My Beer Dealer for being our beer dealer. We certainly lost our Palm Trees at times during a chaotic, hop filled hour.

March 20, 2023 Beercast #29 - Fox Friday
It's gotta be Friday somewhere!
To be more specific, it's a very Foxy Friday in the Not So Goods Shed.
A sweltering March afternoon called for some big, fun beers, courtesy of soon-to-be jugganaut Fox Friday Brewing. Our little hiatus came to an end thanks to Simmo supplying the BB crew with a Pale Ale, Hazy IPA and West Coast IPA, all part of the Fox Friday core range.
The major lesson we learnt from our afternoon of discovery was that quality counts for everything and we're likely doing a sequel at a later date.
Thank you to Fox Friday for the brews and to My Beer Dealer for making it possible.
Be sure to check out Fox Friday's very own podcast, which is sure to be far more informative than our heat-stroked ramblings.

January 22, 2023 Beercast #28 - [Working Title Brew Co]
[Border Barrels back at it again]

We felt it was important to work our name into the title this week, in honour of our favourite new Queenslanders, Working Title Brew Co. Hudson provided this weeks POD with 3 MASSIVELY unique beers, ranging from an Ice Cream sour to a Coffee ale and a Lime puree Milkshake DIPA. We manage to successfully make amends for our GABS top 5 gaffe from last week. What exactly did we vote for? All is revealed!

We also live up to our word by providing a loyal listener with a delicious collection of beers. All it took was some interaction via social media. Could you be next?

January 15, 2023 Beerscast #27 - Aether vs Revel
The boys return for the first brewery showcase of 2023, but with a last minute twist.

Gratzy is the beer dealer this week, supplying the pod with the first ever Border Barrels Battle of the Breweries. If you manage to say that last part 3 times in a row you've unlocked a delicious journey of beers designed by Queensland legends Aether and Revel.

IPAs, sours and stouts are on the menu as we put both breweries under the microscope with our unique rating system, as well as deciding which brewer ultimately takes home the chocolates.

Forgive our rustiness, as the silly season clearly took a hold.

Jump in with us and discover 6 banging brews from two of Queensland's rising stars.
