Aussie Beer Explorers

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

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.

Aussie Beer Explorers

Low Alcohol Special

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/

Cornella Brewery Special

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

Athletic Brewing Mini Episode

Check out these two Non-Alcoholic beers from Athletic Brewing Co! We were fortunate enough to have the guys at Rocket Comms send us these two interesting beers:

Upside Dawn Golden Ale
Run Wild IPA

We’ve certainly had a few low/no alcoholic beers on this journey with one of these in particular reminding us of sipping on some wort as it pours out of the brew kettle and into the fermenter, albeit not sweet! We were eager to check these out and had recorded before Rocket Comms advised that you can get these beauties from Woolworths.

Tiny IPA
Victoria Pale Ale
American Pale Ale
Hazelnut Brown
Peanut Butter Porter
Oatmeal Stout

Brick Lane Stereobreaker mini episode

Brick Lane have teamed up with the Victorian members of Pink Boots Australia to create this limited Stereobreaker Rye Pale Ale. And we were fortunate enough to be sent a couple during Melbroune's Lockdown 4.0! What a ripper of a beer, well done to Emily and the team! Wonder if that's Emily's profile rocking out on the label?? And even though it's only a mini episode, we were also able to sneak in a little experiment at the end...does a previously shaken up beer look and taste the same as a non shaken up one? The results might surprise you... https://bricklanebrewing.com/

Victorian lockdown 4.0! Luckily Dave had the chance to get up to Mildura Brewery just before Easter, and we managed to record this brewery special just before everything in Vic went pear shaped again.

Have a listen to hear about the brewery, their beers, and even a history lesson about Big Lizzie (if you're not sure what Big Lizzie is, you sure will after listening to this episode!)

We tasted 7 of their beers:

Big Drop Brewing Mini Episode

Another mini episode of Aussie Beer Explorers has arrived! Now this one is interesting, featuring two ultra-low alcohol beers from Big Drop Brewing Company. At only 0.5% ABV these beers are definitely a talking point with the flavours not wavering due to the low alcoholic content. The beers we sampled were:⁃Paradiso IPA⁃Galactic Milk Stout Click on the link in the bio or search for Aussie Beer Explorers in your favourite podcasting app. And by the way, excise is not charged on beers with an ABV of less than 1.15% not 0.5% as mentioned in the episode. https://www.bigdropbrew.com/

Can you guess which beer these two references are relating too? The beers we sampled were:
