Listening to the malty boyz all the way from down under

Friday in Western Australia is my favourite day because that’s when the malty boiz drop the pod. Michael would love Australia because we brew beers especially for the Michael Gabriel 12 beer challenge, Stephen would absolutely love the fact that he can find a decent Belgian style sour at most places and Alex would love the high percentage stouty bois that some of the most banging breweries in Australia make! Love the content you boiz create, especially the pod!

If you’re a craft beer nerd and want to get some extra ammo for when you’re self-deprecating your hobby to cover up from the fact that it’s actually an alcohol addiction, then this is the podcast for you.
