MELBOURNE | In this star-studded episode we are back! Like actually back! For a limited time only. How long you ask? Oh boy that’s a question. But right now let’s talk about something else. Like, say, this brand-new episode featuring not one but two breweries, Rocky Ridge and The Mill. And do you know what else? It also features a brand-new Superbowl-themed collaboration beer by us, Rocky Ridge, The Mill, and one of our favourite pubs, The Punter’s Club.

The beer, a West Coast IPA that we’re calling the “Half Time Show”, will be launching on tap at the Punter’s Club on Super Bowl Monday for their Super Bowl event, and will also be on tap at The Mill and Rocky Ridge Brunswick. Trust us, it’s one you’ll want to try.

We also drink two very good beers, one from Rocky Ridge x Bottle Logic Brewing, the Dopamine Drip, and one from Rocky Ridge flying solo, a sour simply titled, Water.

P.S. It’s our first episode back in a while. We recorded it outside at Rocky Ridge in Brunswick and we think kind of knew what we were doing. But, we’ll let you be the judge, there.

Featured beers: Dopamine Drip and Water, by Rocky Ridge Brewing.

MELBOURNE | In this height-scaling episode, we dust off the microphone and visit Melbourne’s new and improved Fitzroy North institution, The Pinnacle. But, not only that, we chat with Michael, the man behind the pub’s new and improved status, as he takes us through the journey to turn a locals pub into a place that, while not a craft beer venue, is a place that craft beer lovers will want to visit. If you’ve ever wondered how a pub is born, this is the episode for you.

We also drink two very nice beers but, as they were a surprise for us, we’ll leave them as a surprise for you too.

Featured beers: ? and ?, by ?.

In this parochial episode, we chat with one of the founders of a local bar, Rascal Brunswick, about what is was like to open a business, quickly enter a global pandemic, pivot to a new way of business, and come out the other side a better, stronger, community-supported bar.

We also drink two different Red IPAs and find out what makes them tick.

Featured beers: Renegade Red IPA by Innate Brewers and Freya Red Rye IPA by 3 Ravens Brewery.
