January 01, 2023 Beercast #26 - Christmas Special
Here it is! Our gift to you.

Well... More so a gift to ourselves. For a special treat this holiday season, Simmo, Hudd and Gratzy staged an epic Border Barrels Xmas party. A long-form POD filled with any topic that took our fancy in the moment, held together by our love of great beers.

9 brews in total, dispersed via lottery.

Who wins big?
All 3 of us. And you.

Relive a boozy, fun-filled afternoon with your favourite craft beer nuffies.

November 28, 2022 Beercast #25 - Blackman's Brewery
It's Simmo's turn to supply the goods this week. Being the thoughtful, nostalgia fiend he is, he transported us back to a friends holiday on the front steps of Torquay's Blackman's Brewery.

You might think this is 'just another IPA' Beercast... And you'd be correct. However we have a very justifiable reason. Today we sipped and savoured 3 beers from Blackman's JUST ANOTHER IPA series, enjoying some unique hop combinations in BIG BOY 500ml cans.

Like always, we looked deep into the history of the brewery, gave some super amateur tasting notes and waxed lyrical about ocean piss, East Kent Golding origins and Goanna parties. (It'll make sense when you listen).

Thank you to Blackman's for a delicious afternoon and The Lane Cellars for access to the brews.

November 21, 2022 Beercast #24 - Kaiju Beer
The Border Barrels crew turn into biologists on this weeks pod, discovering brand new Kaiju Mutations plus some exciting, unexpected tidbits about the brewery of the same name.

Black metal references, Simpsons influences and enough wall art to fill MONA are just some of the crazy directions this weeks journey into Kaiju Brewing takes us.

It's another IPA heavy edition, with a NEIPA, Hazy Double and Dank West Coast all sampled.

Mutation Program #0007 Space Lord
NEIPA Mutation Program #0009 Immortal Jellyfish Double Hazy IPA
The Dank Shelbyville IPA (with Dr. Colossus)

Thank you to Kaiju for the incredible beers, as well as The Lane Cellars for supplying them to us.
Finally a special shoutout to Tim Doyle for his glorious can artistry. He can be found at http://www.timdoyle.com and @timothypdoyle on instagram.

Enjoy. This one's a monster.

November 14, 2022 Beercast #23 - Sunday Road
This week, we're taking the Sunday Road to Hop-town!

Okay, so that opening joke sucked, but the beers enjoyed on our Sunday Road Brewing Co showcase certainly didn't.

We enjoyed a New World IPA, an Oat Cream IPA, plus revisit an Imperial Stout that Simmo strained through both his liver and his laptop just 4 short weeks ago.

Off-Roadie - New World IPA
Dust From a Distant Sun - Oat Cream IPA
Some Velvet Evening - Imperial Stout

A short but sweet history of this rising brewery is also looked into.

Thank you to our new friends at Sunday Road, who certainly left a lasting impression on the Border Barrels crew with 3 banging beers.

Also thank you to The Lane Cellars for supplying todays treats.

Enjoy!

November 06, 2022 Beercast #22 - Range Brewing
This week we decided to try something different and start tasting and reviewing beers from the same brewery. First cab off the rank, we tasked ourselves to taste and review some of the brilliance that is Range Brewing.

We put our BRAND NEW Border Barrels rating system to the test, exploring the intricacies and face belting flavour explosions, as well as the visual and textual arts unique to each beer.
The lineup consisted of:
Living the Dream - IPA
Another Day in Paradise - California IPA
Double Dripping in Green - Chinook, Citra and El Dorado West Coast IPA
We learnt a lot in this episode and we hope you do too!

October 23, 2022 Beercast #21 - Kaiju, Hope & Modus
It's Thirsty Devil launch week and we couldn't be more excited! Well... A couple of us at least. Simmo was rude enough to attend a friends wedding instead.

In the real world, we discuss the important news making waves in the craft beer world. The 'consolidation' between Wayward and Batch, the GABS can art countdown, the revelation that is Spectrum hopping, plus initial reactions to a few new beers from fresh local legends at Thirsty Devil.

For taste testing this week, Simmo required an old faithful entry level pale to assist his wedding induced hangover.
The dynamic Hudd dives into a 500ml Modus Hazy and a Belgium barrel aged sour.
Gratzy enters the third dimension courtesy of a super special 11% IIIPA from our overlords at Hope.

All this and some hints at future plans for the BB crew on a brand new episode.

October 04, 2022 Beercast #20 - Badlands, Sunday Road & Banks (Return of the Gratz)
After a 5 week hiatus the tripod was finally whole again. Gratz returned to the desk with a Badlands limited release, while Simmo and Hud brought their A game with 2 MASSIVE beers that ensured chaos reigned supreme.

From a serious standpoint, we discuss the origins and legitimacy of Selzter in the craft beer world.
Huddo has a financial gripe with a special beer event and we tend to agree with his sentiment.
A SUPER EXCITING (potentially) EXCLUSIVE reveal about the Albury/Wodonga craft beer scene. Let's just say it appears good things come in 2's...
Plus a battle as old as time breaks out in the Not So Goods Shed, as Simmos laptop goes one on one with a spilt 9.5% stout. Who comes out on top? Definitely not Sime, we know that for sure.

The aforementioned Badlands Brewing, Sunday Road and Banks provide the liquid gold on this week's episode of Border Barrels Beeercast
Gratzy: Badlands Brewing - Acronym Abuse Neipa
Huddo: Banks - Addicted to Pies Imperial Pastry Sour
Simmo: Sunday Road - Laptop Stout

September 20, 2022 51 - Boy Oh Boy Wowee
As BT would say, Boy Oh Boy Wowe it's getting down to the wire now! Huddo and Sime give you their hot takes for the games from the weekend and their gf predictions. Looks like it could be a divided pod with Simmo backing Geeeeeelong and Hudd favouring the youthful exuberance of the Sydney Swans. I've never used exuberance in a sentence before. How did I go?
