​In this episode of Aussie Beer Explorers, we line up three cracking Aussie brews and put them head-to-head 


First up is Little Bang Brewing Co.’s Dave Likes XPA Vol. 3 — a fresh, easy-drinking Extra Pale Ale with bright tropical hop character and a smooth finish. A proper session beer with plenty of personality.


Next, we crack into Holgate Brewhouse Drives Me Hazy Hazy Pale — juicy, soft, and packed wi...

Well we did say episodes wouldn't be coming out quite as regular as they used to be...10 weeks between eps was a bit longer than we'd planned!


We're doing our own countdown of the top 3 beers from this year's GABS hottest 100. Plus there is a bonus beer towards the end, you'll have to listen through to hear what that is! Or you could just read the notes below...I wonder how many people actually read the show notes?...if you do, ...

We're back!!! After four long years away, we've returned to the shed to try some more beers, this time from Jervis bay Brewing Co.


It's great to be back, talking beer - and heaps of other stuff! This one covers a fair bit of ground - let's face it there's four years to catch up on!


In amongst all the rambling, we did get to try a few Jervis bay Brewing Co special release beers:

  • Twisted Hazy IPA
  • Disco Hazy IPA
  • Around the Worl...

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......

    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 Explor...

    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 ...

    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're in the same shed again! Luckily we were able to catch up in person and enjoy these five cracking beers from Hops To Home.

    It was another fun journey, as well as learning about the beers and breweries, along the way we also got to learn about a movie from 1966, and what's the world record for the number of dolls in a babushka doll set??
