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.

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.

In this episode of escapees, we talk about the obscene joys of being out of Melbourne’s lockdown, discuss where our newly-free drinking has taken us, and apologise refusely for missing recording last week due to, you know, being out of lockdown.

We also drink some magnificent beers from Stone & Wood’s Counter Culture range, and from Garage Project’s monthly Fresh series.
