Aussie Beer Voyage

The very first location to visit on our Northern NSW Roadtrip and it’s to visit Smokey at Currumbin Valley Brewing! To say we were excited was an understatement. Joel might have been less excited to quickly realise just how much Smokey talks, and paired with Adsy, was going to be recording a lot of information. Unique to a lot of the places we’ve visited is that Currumbin Vall

In this episode, you'll be guided by Joel's dulcet tones as he narrates the entire trip in an overview as we meandered down from Brisbane to as far south as Coffs Harbour. Writing this now, who was Coffs? Anyway, I digress, mostly because I don't to say much in this episode! Some people will likely enjoy that more - Adsy. We've taken our very first real voyage as p

In March the Royal Queensland Beer Awards (RQBA) were held in Brisbane, where Adsy was a judge and Hendo was the Chairman of Judges! A fancy title to be sure, but what does it mean and what do beer competitions entail? Here we chat about how to judge beer and what goes into the process of the stewarding behind the scenes, judging process and all the other things you might not know.

The Royal Queensland Beer Awards is an important event in the Australian beer calendar for craft breweries around the country. It's one of the first chances they get to receive feedback on their beers and take that onboard for any future improvements and tweaks. Taking home a nice trophy and some medals is also nice! Adsy and Joel chat with Ari from The Royal National Agricultu

In this episode, Adsy and Joel (well, mostly Adsy) geek out over some serious homebrewing equipment with Gary from Newera Brewing in Brisbane. It's not just homebrew kits though, Gary supplies a full range of equipment for making great beer, right through to high end professional level stainless. Two of the main brands you can find at Newera are Ss Brewtech and Brewtools. Gary

Adsy and Joel have been keen to chat with Annelies from Madocke Beer Brewing Company on the Gold Coast for some time now, and they weren't disappointed! This outstanding Belgian family owned brewery, started from very humble beginnings in the home garage, which brewed small batches of beer and even featured a fully licensed tap room! Nowadays, you'll find them brewing award

Adsy took some time to drink a beer the other morning and jump on a Zoom call with James from The Crafty Pint to chat about all things Local Beer Day. With the state of the economy, the hospitality sector and the brewing industry at large suffering with the cost of living, this day is a day to bring back that simple appreciation for beer. The world's best beverage, just ask Ads

How to put beer into cans? It's a pretty important question to answer, especially if you're a brewery that doesn't own a canning line. That's where mobile canning companies like Craft Punks Canning, come into play! Our second episode of the year takes us to Madocke Brewing to sit down (turns out we stood up) with Scott from Craft Punks Canning. Adsy and Joel have a

Our first craft beer podcast episode of the year, sees us return to Helios Brewing Company in Brisbane, where we chat to their new head brewer - Jake Harrison. Jake cut his teeth working for many years at Ballistic Beer Company just down the road from Helios in Salisbury, before making the shift to a more simple life brewing solo at the solar powered Helios. In this episode, Jake t

This episode is the 24th and final episode not only of this season, but of this year! 2023 Year in Review is where Adsy and Joel take a look back at some of their best interviews, best moments, funny stories and more. This episode was actually filmed at Hiker Brewing Co, just before we went live and filmed #23 – ABV Awards 2023. If you haven’t seen the awards post yet, you sho
