This episode is all about the local brewery, Lobethal Bierhaus. Situated in Lobethal in the Adelaide Hills, this local brewery has only been around since 2007; however, they are a staple of the local culture winning over 30 medals at the Australian International Beer Awards and being served in over 100 South Australian based restaurants, hotels and bottle shops alone. Lobethal Bierhaus surprised us with some darker beers on this episode and with some flavours we were not expecting.

Also in this episode Kieran finds a make shift bottle opener, we discuss the movie 'The Room', find out how Jason's Dad took an evening stroll through a McDonalds Drive through and Jason gives Kieran a late Christmas present; yes, the Santa Hat comes back again!

Its all about that Syrup, about that Syrup! Kieran went over and above this time and we had 6 drinks! Mind you, they were mixers, but great mixers either way. We cracked out the Monin Syrup mixers for this episode and paired them with some of our favourite hard liquors to reveal some amazing tastes. Monin is a French based company who focus on making Syrups, Tea Syrups, Fruit mixers and Gourmet Sauces just to name a few. They also have over 8 million drinks served daily worldwide with their Syrups, crazy huh?!

In this episode we try 6 of the Monin Syrup mixers, Jason brings a massive map he found in the house and yet another Hat; which is somewhat out of date; Jason also shares how is wife is allergic to Pineapple and you also keep hearing an annoying plane in the back ground that kept flying over whilst we recorded, but can you tell us how many times it flew by?

In this episode we stick with just one brand and one style of drink; Pals Vokda. Pals is a brand direct from New Zealand who offers Premium Spirits & Real Fruits extracts in their drinks. We try out three of their Vodka premix's and we can say for sure, you are going to love them. Jason loved one of them so much, he offered up his second only 10/10 rating! Along with some amazing drinks Pals also have an amazing sustainability program, offer up little to no calories in their drinks as well as having an incredibly low amount of sugar.

Throughout this episode we talk about three Vodka Premix's, what Jason recently did to his nose and how Kieran & Jason have come up with a crazy concept for a Lettuce based comic!
