Welcome back to the Beer O’Clock podcast, it’s been a long, long time between drinks! It feels like every month I’m apologizing for how hectic it’s been around here – but maybe that is just the new normal… We’ve managed to be very good at recording episodes on time this year, less good at putting them out on time….

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. This episode we cover, in true Beer O’Clock fashion, plenty of (very, very) outdated news, talk about some beers we’ve had, muck up our lager segment and have a really interesting Cellar Beer.
