Well blow us down if Victoria hasn’t caught New South Wales’s cold!
For reference this episode was recorded just toward the end of June when Melbourne was on top of the dreaded virus and sport was a thing down here again..
Anyway you all know how it has panned out and have a listen to how we saw things through the eyes of two blokes sipping on some awesome GABS beers..
Brick Lane have teamed up with the Victorian members of Pink Boots Australia to create this limited Stereobreaker Rye Pale Ale. And we were fortunate enough to be sent a couple during Melbroune's Lockdown 4.0!
What a ripper of a beer, well done to Emily and the team! Wonder if that's Emily's profile rocking out on the label??
And even though it's only a mini episode, we were also able to sneak in a little experiment at the end...does a previously shaken up beer look and taste the same as a non shaken up one? The results might surprise you...
Victorian lockdown 4.0! Luckily Dave had the chance to get up to Mildura Brewery just before Easter, and we managed to record this brewery special just before everything in Vic went pear shaped again.
Have a listen to hear about the brewery, their beers, and even a history lesson about Big Lizzie (if you're not sure what Big Lizzie is, you sure will after listening to this episode!)
We tasted 7 of their beers:
Sunlight Light
Pilsner
Honey Wheat
Mandyweizen
APA
XPA
IPA

Another mini episode of Aussie Beer Explorers has arrived!
Now this one is interesting, featuring two ultra-low alcohol beers from Big Drop Brewing Company.
At only 0.5% ABV these beers are definitely a talking point with the flavours not wavering due to the low alcoholic content.
The beers we sampled were:
⁃Paradiso IPA
⁃Galactic Milk Stout

And by the way, excise is not charged on beers with an ABV of less than 1.15% not 0.5% as mentioned in the episode.
May Hops to Home podcast has arrived!
Crikey with 2021 over a third of the way through we’ll be hearing Mariah Carey belting out “All I want for Christmas” before we know it.
This episode we were taken way back to the 1980’s and 90’s staple Saturday TV show for many Aussies as well as a classic Australian Film.
Can you guess which beer these two references are relating too?
The beers we sampled were:
- Super Juicy New England Pale Ale - Hope Brewery
- Valhalla Pale Ale - Valhalla Brewing
- GONGIM RIPA - Bodriggy Brewing and Hops to Home
- Blood Sacrifice KVEIK Red - Tallboy & Moose and Hops to Home
- Black Days Black IPA - Bonehead Brewing and Hops to Home
