Hi All,We had a little hitch with the last podcast, it may have been recorded after the Good Beer Week Gala Showcase… So the next episode will be a little delayed! Speaking of which, I hope everyone has got their tickets for GBW sorted as events are beginning to sell out.

The Year of Local is running a little behind schedule, probably as expected. Only 12 posts are up (out of 170+). I did at least get more posts up in March than new breweries were added to the list, unlike in February… A Local Beer, Future Mountain & Nagambie Brewery & Distillery have all been added to the list. Thankfully April is looking a little quieter for me & I’m hoping to bust out a heap of reviews – having visited lots of breweries in March & drank lots of Victorian beers. With any luck we’ll be at 30 posts come the end of the month and closer to back on track.

I took a quick break from Victorian beers and went to the Other Half / Cloudwater tap takeover at Mr West on the weekend just gone. Simply wow! What an event! There was a who’s who of Melbourne craft beer in attendance. The guys at Mr West put on a great day and coped well with the massive crowds. If you get the opportunity to try the beers from these guys you’ll see that our scene still has a little way to go.

If I’ve missed anything that you wanted to know or if you just want to send me beer related questions/content, please do at gus.norris7@gmail.com and I will endeavour to get back to you as soon as I can. Cheers guys!Remember it’s always Beer O’Clock somewhere in the world!
