    Beercast #61 - Bentspoke Brewing Co.

    We've been fortunate on Border Barrels to be gifted interview opportunities, stubbie holders, shirts and most importantly, beer.

    To be given that important final gift by an OG of the Australian craft beer scene still has us pinching ourselves.

    The mighty BentSpoke, from our nations capital, supply the POD with 5 core range bangers, including our very first 0% beer, as well as classic experimentals in the tasty Flemm and exhilarating Muther Funker.

    If you do find yourself in Canberra, PLEASE visit their fantastic brewpub in Braddon. The extended taplist is always pouring exciting, brand new beers.

    For now, kick back with a Crankshaft and enjoy our BentSpoke Brewery Showcase.

    Cheers to Great Beers!

    Beercast #60 - Cypher Brewing Co

    Holy hell.

    We love a good discovery as much as a good beer drinking session. Combine the two and it's deadset heaven for the Border Barrels crew.

    We take a trip via tastebuds to our nation's capital, with new kids on the block at Cypher Brewing.

    This journey has LEVELS.

    We ease our way into 6 delicious beers, beginning with a tasty little standard Aussie Pale, concluding with a trifecta of a sour and 2 double IPA's, all clocking in at over 7%!

    As a result, we must apologise for the tangents about WWE, various television programs and parenting anecdotes.
    At least Canberra gets a solid tourism plug!

    Thanks to Cypher Brewing for an unforgettable afternoon. We hope to visit you soon.

    Beercast #59 - Avnge Brewing

    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!

    Beercast #59 - Bracket Brewing

    ( )

    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.

    Beercast #57 - Shout Brewing

    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.

    Beercast #56 - Future Brewing

    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!
