Welcome back to the Beer O'Clock podcast, it's been a long, long time between drinks! I've had an incredibly hectic last couple of months, which has seen the podcast, & the website for that matter, fall by the wayside a little. This may be our most out of date episode ever - as seen by the insert for breaking news we put in from almost 2 months ago... If this is your first time listening to a Beer O'Clock Australia podcast, welcome! We change the segments up a little each month, however most months we'll discuss some of the latest news from the beer world, we'll talk about some beers that we've been enjoying over the last month & we'll crack something interesting from my cellar. This episode we cover, in true Beer O'Clock fashion, plenty of (very) outdated news, wrap-up 6 months of brewing awards, check out a new Victorian brewery, take a brewery tour of Adelaide & add a Israeli lager to the Ranking of Lagers & drink something from the back of the cellar!   Show Notes Intro   News (1:33) David Cryer Retires Excise Changes/Inflation Good Drinks Molson Coors Distribution Deal Barrett Burston Hits Waste Water Milestone Barth Haas Report Lion Paid Leave Allowances Feral Staying with Coca-Cola Brewery Openings BrewDog Melbourne - Pentridge Prison Twang Brewing Two Doors Brewing 3806 Edging Closer Brick Lane Opening at Mercat Cross Valhalla Opening 2023 in North Geelong Brewery Closures RedDot Brewhouse Stalwart Brewing Red Oak Beer Cafe Closing Spencer (US Trappist Brewery) Ceases Beer Production Mildura Brewery Caught Up in Broo Schmozzle Brewery Sales Little Bang Sells to Duxton Pub Group Catchment Buys Fortitude Lion Sells UK Brands Equity Crowd Funding Bridge Road, Dainton, Akasha, 3 Ravens, Future Magic Tasting Paddle (29:41) Help on Bees Wings Westvleteren Gets a Label!
