The Cool Room

Chaos reigns as our friends from Golden Hills return to share stories of their first year in operation and of course taste some of their fantastic beers with us.

We hear all about their latest collaborations with Burnley and Bright breweries as well as a deep discussion about what makes Imperial versions of beers so much fun!

As ever this podcast is best enjoyed with a tasting pack which is available from our online store!

This episode follows directly on from Episode 93 so we highly recommend that you listen to that episode first!

To complete our discussion of Carwyn Cellar's Furious 5 pack with Forward Hops we were super lucky to have Mark Osborne from Adroit Theory Brewing join us live from the US. Even though it was 5:30 am in the morning he was able to give us a tasting masterclass on the DJINN Imperial Stout that is part of the pack.

He was so generous with his time that we just had to spin this out into being its own episode as we learned not just about the highly innovative beers that Adroit Theory is renowned for, but about the whole story as Mark and his wife decided to leap into world of running a full scale brewery! 

You can still purchase the Furious 5 from Carwyn's website at the time of episode release: https://carwyncellars.com.au/collections/style-gift-packs

Ben Carwyn and Ben Duval from Carwyn Cellars return to the Coolroom to finish the job they started in Episode 89 as they discuss the contents of the Furious 5 Pack! And they've brought company in the form of Peter and Dave from Forward Hops, the importers that made it all possible.

We learn about great breweries like Burley Oak, Parish Brewing, Humble Forager and the back story of The Rare Barrel as well as being treated to a stunning array of Western Australian bird calls. We learn about the challenges and rewards of setting up a beer importation business as well as much much more about the Perth beer scene.

This all sets the scene for Episode 94 that we are releasing on the same day when Mark Osborne from Adroit Theory joins us at 5:30 am US time to discuss the DJINN Imperial Stout which is the final entrant in the Furious 5 pack!

We chat with Sean not just about his time as a gypsy brewer but also what he learned from those experiences that helped him with the design of his own brewery and how he is now giving back to other aspiring gypsy brewers.

Oh and we don't miss the opportunity to make sure that we find out where the name for the brewery came from - it's almost certainly not what you think!
