    s02e10: God Save the Queen

    It’s the last episode so who better to get down to The Malty than the Queen? We’ll, it’s not quite the Queen but a pretty close second! Tune in to hear British High Commissioner Laura Clarke talks about everything from Brexit to Shortland St!

    s02e09: Taranaki Boys Done Good

    Brewer Kelly Ryan and journalist Patrick Gower may have different professions, but the school friend’s bro-mance is real (especially after a few 9% ‘Game of Cones’).

    s02e08: X-rated reptiles and the Royals

    Parliament is a strange, hectic place and the public rely on the Press Gallery to make sense out of what those politicians are trying to do to them. Two of the best are TVNZ's Jessica Mutch and Newshub's Tova O'Brien, seasoned veterans of the gallery who have recently been crowned political editors of their respective media outlets and they join us at The Malthouse for beers, and a pot of tea.

    s02e07: Sippin with the Spooks

    In what may be the most ridiculous podcasting coup in NZ history, The Beerhive has managed to convince the heads of two of our most secretive organisations to come down and have some beers at the pub with microphones turned on - YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

    s02e06: The Cats Will Play When Jacinda's Away

    The Prime Minister’s on maternity leave and the rulebook has gone out the window. We dragged Justice Minister Andrew Little and Consumer Minister Kris Faafoi down to the Fork n Brewer for a few Monday pints to see what we could squeeze out of them.

    s02e05: The Grumpiest Men in Beer

    We’re joking. Dominic Kelly and Phil Cook aren’t angry at all. Well, not really. They definitely know their stuff when it comes to the beer industry though and they’re not afraid to speak their mind. Respect.

    s02e04: Cutting it up with Dr P

    Patrick Mace, or ‘Dr Pat’ as he likes to call himself, is one of the founding staff members at American brewery Lagunitas. Part of his job now is travelling the world and telling people to drink the beer - sweet gig if you can get it.

    s02e03: Seeing double

    Opening yet another brewery in Wellington would be crazy, right? Well, there’s at least four people who don’t think so and they’re in the middle of doing just that in Miramar. We’re joined by Double Vision’s Warren Drahota and Maria Lanz for a fascinating insight into taking the plunge in today’s mature beer market.
