  • 103. Hops To Home Decemebr 2021...Last Episode Ever?

    43:43||Season 1, Ep. 103
    Well it's our last episode for 2021...but could this be Aussie beer Explorer's last episode ever???   Nothing's set in stone yet, but what we do know is that after this ep we'll definitely be taking a break for a while. Thanks to everyone who's listened to us rabbit on for the last three and a half years, hopefully we gave you something fun to do while some of you were in lockdown at various times throughout the pandemic...it's crazy to think that for over half the time we've been gasbagging about beers has been during these "unprecedented times".   And a huge thanks to Hops To Home, who've been sending us a few extra beers to talk about each month. We've enjoyed trying beers we wouldn't have grabbed off the shelves ourselves, and as a result we've definitely broadened our horizons!    So for the final episode for 2021, Hops To Home sent us another 5 awesome beers to finish on: Gin Barrel Gose - Hargreaves Hill Brewing Company http://hargreaveshill.com.au/ Pale Ale - Fields Brewing Co https://fieldsbrewing.co/ Strongarm Export Pilsner - Hop Nation https://hopnation.com.au/ ORB & The Gang NEIPA - Ocean Reach Brewery http://oceanreach.beer/ Enter The Dragon Dragonfruit & Passionfruit Hazy IPA - Bonehead Brewing Co https://www.boneheadbrewing.com.au/ Remember to stay subscribed so you'll know if/when we do anything next, and keep in touch on our socials...we'll probably still occasionally post stuff, there's still plenty left to explore out there...      Cheers, Dave and Dave.   instagram.com/aussiebeerexplorers facebook.com/aussiebeerexplorers aussiebeerexplorers@gmail.com aussiebeerexplorers.com

  • 102. Low Alcohol Special

    55:00||Season 1, Ep. 102
    What a controversial episode this is...first of all, all these beers are 0.5% ABV. Yep you read that right, we've done a couple of mini-eps before, but this is our first ever full length low-alcohol episode! But as we talk about in this episode, this segment of the market is booming, so we thought we'd better jump on the bandwagon too...   Another big topic in this ep is that this is the second last episode of Aussie Beer Explorers!!! Maybe not forever, we're not sure yet, but at least for a little while we'll be giving your ears a rest. But feel free to stay subscribed, that way you'll be the first to hear if/when we decide to get going again.   So for our penultimate episode we had a go at 8 low-alcohol beers from around the country...and as a special treat for our long-time listeners we even brought back our favourite segment - bogan vs boutique! (Let's face it, Carlton Zero never stood a chance!).   Tropical XPA - Nort Beer https://nort.beer/ Sidewinder XPA Deluxe - Brick Lane https://bricklanebrewing.com/ Mind Your Head Non-alc XPA - Hop Nation https://hopnation.com.au/ Mornington Free Non-alc Pale Ale - Mornington Peninsula Brewery https://mpbrew.com.au/ Quiet XPA - Heaps Normal https://heapsnormal.com/ Free Time Alcohol Free Pale Ale - Bridge Road Brewers https://bridgeroadbrewers.com.au/ New World IPA - UpFlow Brewing https://www.upflowbrewing.com.au/ Poolside DDH IPA - Big Drop Brewing Co https://au.bigdropbrew.com/   instagram.com/aussiebeerexplorers facebook.com/aussiebeerexplorers twitter.com/Ozbeerexplorers aussiebeerexplorers@gmail.com aussiebeerexplorers.com

  • 97. Cornella Brewery Special

    54:17||Season 1, Ep. 97
    Dave had the chance to visit Cornella Brewery in between a couple of Melbourne's lockdowns a few months ago, and what an awesome looking venue it is! Right near Colbinabbin in central Victoria, it shares the grounds with The Shiraz Republic, there's a stage for entertainment, plus great looking onsite cabins overlooking the vineyard. There was no punters around at the time due to ongoing restrictions, but he was able to grab a few beers, and we finally got stuck into them: Spiny Rush Tropical XPA Winebeer Shiraz Sour Tinto de Verano Shiraz & Lemon Spritzer Hazy Bale Hazy XPA Happy Birthday To You Hazy IPA After Glow Amber Citranella DDH IPA https://cornellabrewery.com.au/   instagram.com/aussiebeerexplorers facebook.com/aussiebeerexplorers twitter.com/Ozbeerexplorers aussiebeerexplorers@gmail.com aussiebeerexplorers.com
