Beer O'Clock Australia

The inevitable happened, we went a little too hard and missed a daily... Thankfully our day 6 was relatively light on the beer front - so we simply combined the two into one.

The 4th of 6 installments in our coverage of SEA Brew & related beer events in Thailand. Today we cover our slightly unusual day, whilst also taking in Thailand Brew Fest & The Londoner Brewpub (aka Brewprub or Brewplub)

Our interview from yesterday, live on the SEA Brew floor, with Supapong Pruenglampoo (Toon) & Prapavee Hematat (Bamee) from United People's Brewery & Group B. Group B is a leading Thai Craft Beer distributor & United People's Brewery is currently being commissioned as a collective space for the brewers of Thailand to legally brew. 

A big day for us today, wrapped up in ~20 mins of totally coherrent banter.   https://silkwormbooks.com/products/heritage-drinks-of-myanmar   Dok Kaew House Bar

Interview with Chris Le, COO, & Gary Sadavage, Brew Master, from Kura Kura Brewing in Indonesia. We talked about the challenges they face brewing in the jungle in a predominantly muslim country. 

Interview with Clif Whittington, founder of Bangkok Beer Guide & noted bagpipe player. We chat about Clif's pursuit to create an accessible guide to Thailand beer.   https://bangkokbeerguide.com/

Interview from the SEA Brew Floor with Don Viteri from Rooster Beer in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. It’s a wide ranging chat; from Don’s background as a chef in Chicago to how he ended up selling beer for an early entrant in the Vietnamese craft brewing scene.

The second of six daily shows of our time in Thailand. We wrap up Day 1 from SEA Brew.

Interview with Brad Hannam of Crazy Carabao (Philippines) from the floor at SEA Brew. We discuss the Phillipines beer scene and Crazy Carabao's position within it & the logistical challenges they face.

Welcome back to the Beer O'Clock podcast, it's been a long, long time between drinks!

This may be our most out of date episode ever - as seen by the insert for breaking news we put in from almost 2 months ago...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...

As a special Grand Final Eve eve treat we have an interview for you all! We've been meaning to get Evin on the podcast for a couple of months to discuss Bright's Paktech Recycling Initiative.

There's a whole heap of very outdated news, we discuss the Hottest 100 results & talk about some new beers & breweries we've visited, what a joy being able to do that again! Due to being a bit...
