PODCAST | In this ill-planned and unintentionally music-filled episode, we talk about various methods of attempting to convert people to craft beer, the potential beer gods that may be inhabiting the world, and do a brief review of Melbourne’s GABS Container A beers. We also discover a very old whisky thanks to an oversized poster […] The post S11E06: “You’re Hungover Because You Drank Too Much.” appeared first on The City Lane.

PODCAST | In this burning, cobbled-together, ramshackle episode, we talk about: the emergence of craft distilleries; a visit to a city bar that have barley wine on tap; and the advent of April fools gags and, with that, the thought of rum-ham beer. We also discuss a divisive beer and talk about whether it got […] The post S11E05: “If You’re Making Rum Ham, You Don’t Need Expensive Rum” appeared first on The City Lane.

PODCAST | In this rambunctious episode, we are joined by Kyle of Gage Roads Brewing Co to talk about the chaotic, perilous, and ultimately successful rise of the brewery, and the mildly-hilarious bumps they faced along the way.

[content_slider] [content_slide] [/content_slide] [/content_slider] PODCAST | In this rag-tag unofficial followup to episode one of this season, we continue to drink Geuze-style beers from the fabled BOON box, polishing off the very last of the beers this time around. It’s a continued voyage of discovery, but perhaps less so than with the first two bottles. […] The post S11E02: Volatile Acidity appeared first on The City Lane.

PODCAST | In this brand-new, season-opening episode we crack open a box of four Geuze-style beers from Lambeek brewery, BOON. It’s a journey we didn’t really expect, if only because the box came with it’s only multi-language, in-depth instruction manual. It made us want to write one of our own. We also talk about our […] The post S11E01: It Sounds Like They’re Just Making This S**t Up appeared first on The City Lane.

PODCAST | In this ramshackle episode, we gather a crack team including Jeff, Paul, Kyle, Clint, Emily, and Chris, to decide on our favourite beers of the summer while at the same time trying in vain to predict what beers will appear in the future.

PODCAST | In this time-bending episode, we celebrate the new year by first talking about the previous one, and then jumping straight to rest of the current one.

PODCAST | In this rabble-rousing episode we venture north once more and visit the fabled Bright Brewery where we are are joined by their favourite son, James Davidson, for a conversation that is informing, irreverent, and intriguing.

PODCAST | In this very lekker episode, we explore everything there is to explore about what to drink at Christmas.
