Ale Of A Time

This week we talk comedy, fringe shows and beer from the recently sacked Blake Willoughby. We preview his upcoming Fringe Festival show: Brewed Thoughts: Consummate Professional. We also talk some news about Pirate Life, Little Creatures, Hobo Brewing and a few more tidbits, as well as casting off some sweet ol' recs, just for you. You can also win tickets to the show on our instagram. Head over to find out how. http://aleofatime.com/category/podcast/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week it's just the two of us, just the two of us. Just the two of us, Dave and I. We unpack the traditional brewery tour and tasting scripts and question if they are all that exciting or beneficial. Do you care what a mash tun or cold liquor tank is? Or do you just want beer? Tune in. http://aleofatime.com/category/podcast/   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We hangout with old friend and previous guest, Tif Waldron, and learn a bit about her new role with AB InBev/CUB as a High End Beer Ambassador. We ask all the tough questions, and some that aren't so tough. What those are, you'll have to tune in.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we hang with the gang from Co-Conspirators. Two couples, four people, eight legs... and they are brewing some great beers that we have quickly become fans of. http://aleofatime.com/category/podcast/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We chat to the guys behind Brewmanity, a brewery set up with aims to give something back. We learn the details behind the brand, and talk about the risks of setting something up that may be construed as a gimmick rather than a beer. Also, Dave and I do the usual thing.  http://aleofatime.com/category/podcast/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we are in Bendigo chattin Bendigo Beer and Bendigo on the Hop. Founder Trev Birks tells us the story of a couple of guys trying to get better beer into local pubs in 2011; and how that's grown into a full fledged not for profit that supports local craft beer.  http://aleofatime.com/category/podcast/ Hosted on Acast.

We are live on tape at GABS 2017. The audio is all over the place but the guests are tight.

3 years, almost to the day, we chat with Moon Dog cofounder, Josh Uljans about their recent expansion and the brand as a whole. Josh is honest and open about the business and their brand.

It's a special episode! We asked a panel of New Zealand drinkers and industry types to unpack GABS New Zealand Hottest 100. The first time the list has been announced in NZ, and the first time we've handed over the reins completely. No Dave, no Luke... instead we have Megan Whelan (RNZ Community Engagement Editor), Llew Bardecki (Wild and Woolly), Steph Coutts (Craft Beer College), Dylan Jauslin (The Bottleneck). What a lineup! Hear them talk all about GABS H100 and NZ beer.https://www.gabsfestival.com/kiwi-hottest-100/  http://aleofatime.com/category/podcast/   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we visited Dan Dainton from Dainton Family... he's unsure. But it's a brewery and brewpub in Carrum Downs (Melbourne). We spoke to Dan way back when he was starting out as a contract brewer and now he told us how is brand has changed and matured. We learned all about the troubles that growth brings, and how Dan has dealt with them.  http://aleofatime.com/2017/02/dandainton/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we speak to Steve Jeffares, all about the GABS Hottest 100 beer poll. The annual poll gets increasing amount of attention and criticism and in our chat we cover everything. Things such as having too many pale ales at the top, beers no one has ever tried landing in the list, and the "Change the Date" campaign are all discussed.. In addition, Steve updated us about Stomping Ground as well as their support of Midsumma festival and their mentoring program for LGBTQIA+ artists. It's a rollercoaster of a show!Full show notes:http://aleofatime.com/2017/01/stevejeffares/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We venture into the heart of class-war torn Footscray to speak to Hop Nation. A couple of Kiwi wine makers have become firm podcast favourites and we learn how that happened.

Social links here, here and here. Full show notes can be found here: http://aleofatime.com/category/podcast/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is our annual awards show. With four awards up for offer we share our Beer Of The Year, Most Improved Brewery, Brewery To Watch In 2017, and 2016 Brewery Of The Year. Also, Luke offers put on some vinyl next time Dave is over; and Dave really outs his lack of hip hop knowledge... something he has never claimed to have, but still. Also, a fluffy dog runs past.  Hosted on Acast.
