But we also have a great tasting pack of beers to accompany this episode - they're the ones you're going to hear us chatting about and you can find them here: https://the-coolroom-podcast.myshopify.com/products/bridge-road-brewing-6-pack

In this episode we get a heap of insights into Ben's love the  Celtic red ale as well as his approaches to wet hop beers - as well as styles like saison which have moved in and out of the Bridge Road line up.

We hear his thoughts on the many changes he's seen in the Australian craft beer industry but also what he's learned lately through collaborations with Hop Products Australia, Mountain Culture and Adnams!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
