Hello you, and merry Christmas from the Pouring Old Men.
In amongst the Christmas Chatter we also discuss our favourite TV and movies of the year.
Sorry for the rough edit...time was short this week!

Ever wanted to know what to do when hitting the town in Brisbane? Well, we are probably the wrong people to ask. After this episode of the podcast you probably still won't have any idea of places to go. 
You might, however, learn a little too much about at least one of the hosts. W might even talk about stuff that is completely irrelevant to the subject at hand. 
We also drink beer...well, some of us do. 

What is up with all these dodgey buggers lately trying to cheat their way to the top? From Fishing to chess, to poker and Irish Dancing there is no limit to the sports where cheaters try to prosper.

Russ and Warren kick it old school with a few old brews.

Plus who will win the 2022 World Cup? We have no idea but we will at least discuss it for a little bit 

CUB proudly announced recently "Fruity Beer", a new category of flavoured beer, would be launched onto bottle shop shelves nationwide.
The idea of this had craft beer drinkers, including myself, scoffing into their fancy glasses of heavily hopped beers with disgust.
But what is Fruity beer anyway? Is CUB trying to attack the craft beer market? And what level of awfulness is this new product.
I was curious to find out...but too embarrassed to invite anyone else to the podcast. 

The joy of craft beer is discovering new and exciting beer and beer makers. That is what Wazza and Pouring Old Russ set out to do on this episode.
We find some great, new small breweries to explore and, regretfully, one colossal beer maker that was surprisingly hard to recognize. 

It's time get to all Fatherly with Warren, Russell and Kris as we embrace our ultamite dad form and basically have a giant whinge about the world.
It's not all negative, we also briefly talk about the good things of the Dad Life.
We also drink a couple of beers, probably an important part of a craft beer podcast.

Enjoy!

After an extended period of quiet quitting the Pouring Old Men return just in time foe Stout Season. Not that stout season ever ends for Russell and Warren. 
We also dive into probaby way too much nonsense chat about things that are not craft beer/

It's good to be back.

Cheers!

Long time friend of the show Brewcha Libre was kind enough to send us a selection of beers over from WA. 
To mark this special occasion we dusted off an old friend for the show...Warren returns, complete with strange sun tan lines from the beaches of Fiji.
As well as enjoyinh delicious beers we discuss the Mandela Effect, Science and towing caravans. 
Stay Awesome!

Not going to Gabs 2022 is a bit of a sore point for Pouring Old Russ, so to make up for it he has grabbed one of the fabulous sample boxes from Uncle Dans and is diving deep into th carboard to get the skinny on all eight of the beers within.
So join Russ, and only Russ, as he reviews every single one of the beers from the 2022 Gabs Festival Mix Box.
There's sours, hazys, good beers and a few too many bad beers. Something for everyone. Unless you don't like beer, in which case maybe go buy some cruisers instead.

Anyway enjoy.

For some of us everyday is a cheat day but todays episode is a proper cheat day.

Working Title Brewing are a bit of a favourite around the Pouring Old Men microphone so it was with great anticipation that we grabbed one of their recently released "Cheat Day" packs.

These packs contain four unique beers that wouldn't look out of place at Willy Wonkas chocolate factory. They're wild, they're bold but the question remains...are they any good?
