The Hop Cartel

My initial thoughts on five recent beers to cross my palate

Tasting two versions of lighter styled home brewed Braggot. I may well of just challenged myself and the judges a little too much hahaha! I am nonetheless still determined to create that perfect balance even if it is just one variation of Braggot.

So I've decided to hit the mic for another interesting topic. BRAGGOT!! My journey to change the judges opinions about my recent entry into the local brew comp. Let the fun begin. I hope I can guide some brewers and also teach myself something along the way.

I talk about and review a non alcoholic beer and marketing of these products. I talk new world hops and two beers available using those hops. I also talk a little about what's brewing in my world.

The best time of the year. Stout lovers favourite months. Some banging dark beers and one old favourite go head to head. Aussie Beer Pods see's some new and emerging podcasters going up against the veteran's.

This episode turns a corner for THE HOP CARTEL !! I part ways with many social media groups to concentrate on growing personally, Also allowing more time to cement a stronger foundation for my own projects.

I return with another Fast five beer review and an announcement

Beers on tap, second Keezer build in the works, what's brewing and general banter

An awesome time was had by all with plenty of quality craft beers and open kitchen for a tasty burger menu. A few of us sat down to the podcast to chat over tasting paddles, although the plan was to have identical beers on paddle, bar staff unfortunately muddled the order which seen half of us start off on a different beer.

Shout out to Steve Gower from Hoppy Days Brewing Supplies www.hoppydaysbrewingsupplies.com.au for sponsoring My version 3 if the Rough Nut Stout. I also quick review a beer I'm drinking while in discussion, and update on how the Simcoe SMaSH is developing.
