Border Barrels Podcast Border Barrels

It's another brewery introductory episode of Border Barrels, but with an extra boozy twist.

Simmo has been busy behind the scenes forging friendships with the legends at AVNGE brewing! What's the aforementioned twist, you ask?
SEVEN delicious beers, put to the test by our unique ratings system. Oh, and we recorded at night as well. Far less lawnmower related background noise as a result.

Cool can art, great blurbs and exceptional independent Australian beer is all we ever ask for, and AVNGE fulfilled those wishes.

As always, we also dive into the history of the brewery and discover how they came to be.

Thanks to the team at AVNGE for their generosity in supplying us with beers for this week's episode. We can't wait to see what comes next.

Cheers to Great Beers!

We're heading back to the craft beer Mecca, for one of Sydney's finest breweries you may have never tried.

The exceptional father-son duo over at Bracket Brewing have been whipping out incredible beers for a handful of hop-filled years now, and the Border Barrels crew have finally done their deep dive.

Possibly the greatest Maibock to exist, a fresh West Coast Pilsner and a unique (and brilliant) IPA are on the menu this week.

The weather is still fine, the beers are still brilliant and the good vibes are ongoing in this week's brewery showcase episode.

Thanks to The Oak Barrell for supplying the beers, and Bracket Brewery for being one of Australia’s most underrated and rising superstars.

Hudson's turn to supply beers this week, and we're glad it was his Shout!

The puns might be poor, but Shout Brewing's beers certainly weren't.

Unlike the standard 3 cans generally on offer, Hudo has supplied the POD with 5 of Shout's finest works, including 4 core range beers and 1 limited edition release.

These rising stars from Islington, NSW won't be a best keep secret for long, so get in on the ground floor alongside the Border Barrels lads and tell all your friends it's their Shout.

(Sorry, again).

Thanks to the team at Shout Brewing for the delicious brews.

A long summer has finally come to end (well sort of), and the Border Barrels boys have emerged from a gruelling pre-season, ready to sample beers from Australia's finest breweries once again!

First up in round 1, we take on rising St Peter's stars Future Brewing.

For our return to the podcast deck, Simmo brought extra goodies, with FOUR big limited release brews sampled.

Alongside the delicious pilsner, hazy pale and IPA's, we consume a wealth of information about the brewery itself. We instantly became fans, and we're certain you will too.

Thank you to Future for the fantastic selection of beers!

It's good to be back!

It wouldn’t be a Gratzy showcase episode without a brewery starting with the letter S.

Once again our tastebuds are travelling to South Australia, checking out relatively unknown (but not for long) rising stars Six-Twelve Brewing.

Also in typical Gratzy fashion, a miscalculation took place and FIVE beers were sampled as opposed to the regular 3. We check our 3 core range brews and 2 limited releases, ranging from NEIPAs and West Coasts all the way up to a double red Rye IPA!

Thanks to Six-Twelve Brewing for a great range of showcase beers and beerhug.com.au for making it all possible

The Border Barrel boys come full circle, celebrating podcast beer number 100 with a return to Range brewing!

12 months ago we embarked on a brewery showcase journey with the intention of learning about the great independent breweries of Australia (and a little bit of the world). Thanks to these legendary beer merchants we can now distinguish between certain hops and have fallen in love with new beer styles we'd previously (and foolishly) ignored.

To honour beer number 100 of our unique rating system, we dive deep into the statistics to find our individual and collective favourites along the way, with some surprising results.

You'll have to tune in to find out which beer was the one that raised the bat, but Range indirectly supplied us with 3 absolute epics!
In Bloom DIPA
Morning Ritual Pastry Stout
Power Trip DDH WCIPA.

Thanks to Range, The Lane Cellars, and most importantly everybody who has joined us on this journey so far!

Cheers to the next 100!
