We're back in the not so Goods Shed for another beercast. Huddo and Simmo explore more finds from the GABS festival while Gratzy drinks one from an old favourite. We also cover some news from one of Albury's new brewery, Thirsty Devil. During this, the boys go on a bit of rant about the timing of chicken nuggets and chips. However, regardless of this, we can't wait to Thirst Devil to open and aim...

The boys are back after a weeks off covering all the happenings from round 19 of the AFL and give the lay of the land for all things SuperCoach. Simmo has sneakily got up on the boys FOUR weeks running. Huddo is still ranked highest and Gratz a few thousand behind. With finals upon us, who will reign supreme when its time for the big dance?

43 - Back On Tracc 04.07.2022

With Hudson out with hamstring awareness, Simmo and Gratzy try to steer the ship through the latest round of AFL and SuperCoach for this week. They go through the ins and outs of their own team and cover the big moments of the round. One of those is the fact that Huddo is deep in the top 1000, Gratzy has finally cracked the top 10,000 and Simmo hot on their tail in 32000th. Send in a voice message...

Beercast #9 - Deep Creek/Maku, Sauce & Garage Project 26.06.2022

This is TAKE TWO of a monumentous Beercast episode. We cover some beers from our friendly neighbours in NZ as well as a semi local favourite from the big smoke up in Sydney.

If you listen to us and you have a question or have a suggestion PLEASE click the link below and leave a voice recording that we c...

42 - Hamstring Awareness Month 26.06.2022

This week there are some big SuperCoach scores up for grabs and it has Gratzy feeling a little nervous.

41 - Learning English 20.06.2022

The Border Barrel Babes recap round 15 of the AFL and assess the damage incurred during the bye rounds as far as Supercoach is concerned. A bunch of upsets this week and key players out after suffering injuries. Huddo still remains top of the table and passed on some advice to Gratzy and Simmo. Lets face it, it was mostly aimed at Simmo. Someone send us a bloody message and let us know who your tr...

Beerscast #8 - Capital, Dainton, Bentspoke 20.06.2022

This week we review and chat about beers from Capital, Dainton and Bentspoke brewing. it was our first podcast without someone having an IPA and they were all absolute curve balls. Simmo is still trying to keep the GABS dream alive reviewing his 2/8 beers from the GABS pack (available at your local Dan Murphy's), Huddo felt like a beer but also pizza and Gratz just can't get enough blood orange If...

40 - Here We Go Again (Off The Bone) 14.06.2022

The lads from Border Barrels are back in the 'not so good shed' to discuss the latest round of the AFL and their respective SuperCoach teams. Huddo had a blinder despite not even planning for the bye rounds and Simmo pipped Gratzy at the post. We also had a fair crack at Mason Cox which he may have heard as he had a cracking second half. Still. Lose the goggles, bro. Send in a voice message: https...

Beercast #7 - Banks, One Drop and Mountain Culture 14.06.2022

The lads from Border Barrels are back in the 'not so good shed' for another Beercast.

39 - BB Bowling Club 05.06.2022

Ahhhh.. the bye rounds. Not too fun for footy fans but bloody interesting for SuperCoach enthusiasts. Huddo faired best this week with a whopping score, Simmo beat Gratzy so that's something and somehow with less games we somehow banged on about things for 50 odd minutes. Enjoy x

Beercast #6 - GABS Recap 05.06.2022

Zach, Simmo and Huddo do a recap of their first GABS experience. We cover the festival itself, our favourite beers and elude to a few cheeky stories that will stay at GABS as they would in Vegas. Bon Appedank.

38 - Joel Sudar-Jephadrine 22.05.2022

In this weeks episode, Huddo was victorious in the weekly Supercoach battle. Sime had a shocker and Zach put his foot in Kouts water bowl. Standard.

Beercast #5 - Mountain Culture, Deeds & More Deeds 22.05.2022

In this weeks episode, would you believe it we had a couple of beers. We sampled some Mountain Culture and Gratz and Sime turned up wearing (drinking) the same beer. Sime made an accusation very early in the pod that Zach was pissed, which he denied. After we finished the podcast, as Zach was trying to leave, he stepped in poor old Kouta's water. It was all pretty hilarious. 

Beercast #4 - Revel, Blackmans, Mitta Mitta 18.05.2022

Back again for another quick check in. On this particular night we sampled beers from Revel, Blackmans and Mitta Mitta brewing.  Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/borderbarrels/message Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/borderbarre...

37 - Christmas Casuals 17.05.2022

This week Sime loses his mind over the SuperCoach app. In doing so, it probably highlights a flaw in his general intelligence. For the rest of the time, we covered the round that was. Huddo worked from home so apologies for another phone episode. Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/borderbarrels/message Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/borderbarre...

36 - Cripps and Duds 08.05.2022

In this weeks episode, Simmo claims the #1 Supercoach score... of the 3 people on the podcast. Patty Cripps ripps a 150 and resident DUD scores in the 50's again for the second time in two weeks. Huddo and Gratzy discuss Bombers vs Hawthorn without a 000 call and James Corden cops a brief mention but luckily he moved on quickly which is lucky, as he is completely unbearable. Enjoy!

Beercast #3 - Bright, Akasha and Mountain Culture 08.05.2022

35 - Maximum Gawn 02.05.2022

In this episode we cover the games and our SuperCoach scores from round 7. Gratzy has a blinder, Simmo somehow beat Huddo and some dude named Petey beat us all. Unfortunately, we didn't have Gratz with us this week and he had to dial in from ISO. Apologies for the talk back radio vibe on this one. Enjoy!

Huddo and Gratzy break down the latest rounds of footy including their SuperCoach teams. There was also a few tasty easter beers from Tumut River Brewing, Bridge Road and White Rabbit.

To start, Simmo and Huddo do their recap of all the action from the High Country Hop festival in Beechworth.
