If this is your first time listening to a Beer O'Clock Australia podcast, welcome! We change the segments up a little each month, however most months we'll discuss some of the latest news from the beer world, we'll talk about some beers that we've been enjoying over the last month & we'll crack something interesting from my cellar, although recent restrictions are making this difficult...
This episode we were able to catchup between lockdowns & managed to bring back two of our most loved segments; the cellar - this time raiding Dylan's cellar - & the desert island 6-pack, where we pick our favourite Victorian Brewpubs. There's also the usual stuff like outdated, only minorly this time, news from around the brewing world and the ranking of lagers. There is plenty of good content so get stuck in!
