I had great fun as a guest on the Basement Quality Banter podcast...it had been a while, but I had an absolute ball bantering about beer with Luke Cooper & Angus Grant. It made me realise how much I missed talking about the best of the industry. There's two parts because my answers ran a little long for the time allocated to one.

Some beers still find their way to me, making it all the way to Roma. There seems to be a filter, because the ones that do have been pretty special.

I don’t get much beer sent to me anymore, but a care package from Heads of Noosa turned up just in time for GF day, and it’s a cracker. A beautifully delicate Helles-style lager perfect for watching the football, or reminiscing about Oktoberfest.

Ekka is the time to try something special, and we have the last legs of Felons mezcal-charged margarita ale. Tart, a tad salty and quenching. Come and say Olá to the crew at Craft Beer Alley, and refresh…

It’s been far too long since I have had a beer at The Local Taphouse. So much has changed in the brewing industry since it opened in 2008, but it still sets the benchmark for great beer pubs nationally.
