Aussie Beer Voyage

Capturing the invisible magic behind brewing beer out in the wilderness...what are we on about? It all sounds like chasing fairies, which is exactly where Dan comes in! An avid collector of wild yeasts, Dan uses these in his homebrewing set up to create some truly unique and amazing beers. Even lending his talents to some of Brisbane's most popular breweries, to produce some cool limited relea...

For this episode, Adsy was flying solo while Joel explored the USA for a few weeks. Hence they slightly more basic visual look. But there was nothing basic about the content of the chat that Adsy had with long time mate, Matt! An icon of the Brisbane craft beer scene, having worked making fantastic beers at Revel Brewing, Matt now heads to a new stage in his career - working for Clayton Hops. This...

We first spoke to Andrew from Hilltop Hops Farm back in Episode 8, when he and his business partner Steve, had a small hop farm in Hemmant, on Brisbane's bayside. Since then, Hilltop have moved off the hill top, and expanded their hop farm to a new site in Cleveland, with even more room for growing hops! We chat about the expansion, and how things are looking for their first harvests at the new si...

Gavin from Slipstream Brewing in Yeerongpilly, takes us for an awesome tour around this brewery that has expanded a huge amount in the past few years. From the brewery floor, to the trophy shelf (featuring an award from ABV!), and out back to the huge storage shed full of cans and barrels of beer ageing away, this was a very cool insight into this Brisbane brewery. We love our amazing sponsors Bin...

We've been keen to head to Bacchus Brewing in Capalaba for quite some time now, to chat with owner Ross. It was worth the wait. Not only did we tour the brewery and check out their new brew kit, we got to taste some very special small batch beers, including one made from 4000 year old Egyptian yeast! A first for Australia, and potentially the World. We love our amazing sponsors Bintani, Konvoy...

Come for a look around Precinct Brewing on the Gold Coast with Jeremy the head brewer! This lovely, airy and open venue, lets the sea breeze in, while you enjoy a range of cracking beers on tap. Plus they even distil their own spirits for the bar. But where to start a tour like this? The big shed out back of course! We love our amazing sponsors Bintani, Konvoy Kegs, Craft Punks Canning, Rallings L...

We jump onboard with Hop On Brewery Tours for a ride around the Gold Coast with Joslyn! Hop On was created by Jos and her partner Matt (he wasn't too keen on being on camera, so sent Jos to talk...which she's very good at) and is Queensland's original craft beer tour company, having been around for almost a decade now. There was plenty to chat about, both on the tour bus, and at our be...

Our first brewery visit for the year, and we're off to Stapylton which is mid-way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Here you'll find a rather new entry to the craft beer scene in QLD, with Reece at the helm as head brewer and GM. The title of Carbon 6 comes from high level sounding science which we discuss in the episode, probably better to watch than let us explain...the beers were gre...

We sit down for some beers with the brains behind the Amber Hour app, Amberlyn and Ben. This app allows its users to receive monthly drink credits for use at participating breweries, distilleries, and cideries around Australia. It's simple to use, but there's plenty of work that's gone into making it happen...and there's plenty more to come, as we discuss! Cheers to Helios Brewing Company in Yeero...

An office tower in the CBD of Brisbane isn't the sort of place you'd expect to find a brewery...but you will at Little Miss Sunshine Bar and Bistro! Adsy and Joel go for a tour with head brewer Becky, of this cool little brewery, that squeezes itself into the lower level of this corporate location. Becky is also the first female brewer we've sat down for a chat with on ABV, and what a great chat i...

Adsy and Joel are back in Brisbane, and head to the North Side to chat with Archer Brewing's head brewer - Chris!

The last stop on Adsy and Joel's Northern NSW tour, brought them to Earth Beer Company, located in Cudgen.

Using music to make beer. This is a story that Adsy and Joel had to hear (and drink) to believe!

Here you'll find Rupert making some super tasty beers, and even playing music to them while they ferment in tank. Why? Watch the episode to find out! ;) Head to your favourite podcast platform to l...

Woopi or Woolgoolga? Whichever you want to go with, Adsy and Joel were very excited to get to Woopi Brewing Co in the small Coffs Coast town of Woolgoolga, and catch up with their good mate Charlie again! If you don't remember, he was the star of our first ever ABV episode, back when he worked at Helios Brewing in Brisbane. We also catch up with Charlie's boss, Sarah, and chat about what it was li...

Coffs Harbour is well known for being home of the big banana, but you'll also find some outstanding beers at King Tide Brewing too!

Head to your favourite podcast platform to listen to the EXTENDED version of this episode, with even more cool insights and chat with Josh! We...

Located in Townsend, NSW, you'll find Sanctus Brewing. The name 'Sanctus' is Latin for 'Holy' and refers to the brewery being located in 'God's Country'. A reference to the beautiful area the brewery (and distillery) is built in. Dale (the brewer) takes us on an epic tour of the facility that's recently undergone some impressive upgrades and expansion, including a very flash canning line, the firs...

How good would it be to have some beers and a feed at a craft brewery, then head upstairs to a hotel room where you can stay the night (or as many as you want)? Well, at Wobbly Chook Brewing Co in Yamba, NSW, you can do exactly that! Adsy and Joel go on a tour of this awesome craft brewery/cafe/hotel that was a backpackers in a past life. Their guide Shane, shares plenty of 'cluckin' good tales, i...

GABS Festival returns to Brisbane for 2024! This time held over two days, a Friday night and Saturday day session, Adsy and Joel roamed the crowds on the Friday night for some beers and banter. Oh, and we had to try the camel dung beer from the container stand too. With a little help from the gang at Seeker Brewing! Head to your favourite podcast platform to listen to the EXTENDED version of this...

For years, both Adsy and Joel have loved the West Coast IPA made by Seven Mile Brewing. So when it was finally time to sit down and chat with the creator of this multi-award winning beer, they were pumped! Matt takes us on a tour of this Ballina based brewery, which finds itself home right next to the local airport. Starting off with just a few FV tanks, that collection has quickly grown (as you'l...

Watch the episode here - https://aussiebeervoyage.au/episodes/34-brian-from-spangled-drongo/ Pretty excited to catch up with Brian from  Spangled Drongo Brewery  in Murwillumbah (Adsy even has trouble saying it), as the first official NSW brewery we have visited! Brian is an out and out local, having previously worked for some of the other large breweries in the area. You’ve probably heard of them...

The very first location to visit on our  Northern NSW Roadtrip  and it’s to visit Smokey at  Currumbin Valley Brewing ! To say we were excited was an understatement. Joel might have been less excited to quickly realise just how much Smokey talks, and paired with Adsy, was going to be recording a lot of information. Unique to a lot of the places we’ve visited is that Currumbin Valley’s brewhouse is...

In this episode, you'll be guided by Joel's dulcet tones as he narrates the entire trip in an overview as we meandered down from Brisbane to as far south as Coffs Harbour. Writing this now, who was Coffs? Anyway, I digress, mostly because I don't to say much in this episode! Some people will likely enjoy that more - Adsy. We've taken our very first real voyage as part of the Aussie...
