Beercast #1 - Akasha Brewing live at The Goods Shed 24.03.2022

In a Border Barrels first, the boys sit down with a few heavy hitters in the craft beer industry. First we had Dan from The Goods Shed to talk to us about how he got into the industry, their amazing venue and how he himself got into craft beer. We were also lucky enough to have Larry from Akasha brewing who talked us through everything Akasha, walked us through some exclusive beers and shed some l...

31 - Monica Lipinski 21.03.2022

On this week's episode of Border Barrels, the boys welcome Round 1 in with open arms, although the arms quickly push the footy away after Hudo spends a whole day trekking to watch the Bombers get pumped. With the AFL finally back in it's proper form, Grattsy and Simmo celebrate their teams winning, whilst we all revel in a massive SuperCoach week for all our teams.   Send in a voice message:...

In this episode of Border Barrels, the boys once again run through their SuperCoach teams, and a big surprise leaves two-thirds of the crew flabbergasted. They also look at how this 2022 season will pan out, and the podcast is brought to a grinding halt after an intervention by the local fauna.   Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/borderbarrels/message Instagram: https://www.instagram...

28 - Once More Into The Fray 05.11.2021

The crew from Border Barrels travel once more into the fray to bring you another podcast for your listening pleasure. To be honest, this was a boozy one. Simmo forgot that ABBA existed, Gratzy uncovers his google history and Huddo makes the bold claim that he was the first of his name. Live from the new studio made out of old pallets and a small portion of Huddo's beer can collection. Hope you enj...

27 - Demon Dogs 26.09.2021

Boy oh boy, woweee! What a final. First Dee's GF win in 57 years, absolute brilliance from Petracca and perhaps an iconic moment Caleb Daniel would love to forget? Great way to finish the season. Now for a few weeks off. Peace.

26 - Prelim Final Wrap 12.09.2021

The boys from Border Barrels are back in the living room to give their take on the weekends games. Huddo's body was feeling finals pressure and had to reach for the water for a bit of a reset. General consensus is the D's are on for the Granny but Gratz has hope for his Doggo's. 

25 - Semi Final Wrap 06.09.2021

The lads from Border Barrels dial in to discuss Dogs vs Lions, Cats vs GWS and the shock of Nadia Bartel controversially advertising a $3 plate from K-Mart. More next week x

24 - Finals round 1 29.08.2021

It's finals time! Still locked down the lads dial in and give their takes and predictions for future rounds. Sime seems noticeably tired. Maybe he should have gone to bed at 8:30 rather than 9. At this point, im testing to see if anyone reads this. I don't reckon anyone does. Footy footy footy.

23 - Lockdown Laments via Telephono II 22.08.2021

This week the BB crew were faced with a second lockdown pod. Simmo refrained from the monologue, Huddo was cracking a stout at 1pm in the afternoon and Gratzy was still in the car for some reason. Had some huge games. MaxyG redeems himself vs Geelong after the siren, Daniel Rich made a return to form and I still can't believe its not butter. FINALS are next. Can't bloody wait.

22 - Lockdown Laments via Telephono 15.08.2021

This week the boys from Border Barrels were forced to work from home. Simmo was in his living room by himself fighting off the pat monster (Kouta), Huddo was in mission control infront of his many monitor lizards and Gratzy was drinking in the car like a person who had fallen on tough times. Anyway, we talked some lockdown stuff, some footy stuff and had a few beers while doing it. Let us know how...

21 - Moroccan In The Pool 08.08.2021

In episode 21 (wow) we wrap up the Tokyo 2020 Olympic coverage, talk about some footy and have a beer or two while we're doing it. Gratzy and Huddo get in an argument and Sime leaves the room multiple times for some reason. More next week I spose.

20 - Olympic "Special" 01.08.2021

The BB crew stumble through a 45 minute rant on the olympics and recap round 20 of the AFL season. The boys also review "The Third horseman" by Deeds brewing which is the first beer Simmo and Huddo has had since June. Oooft. 

19 - Squashed Frog 25.07.2021

In this episode, we cover round 19 of the AFL, The Olympics and an interesting claim about Cane Toads. Have a bloody listen.

18 - Georges 1-6 18.07.2021

The boys of Border Barrels recap round 18. Well, sort of. We discussed the footy, a minor indiscretion Simmo had with George Gregan as well as what Gratzy watched when he got home from the pub throughout his 20's. There was also a fair bit of Supercoach panic from Huddo and Gratzy with COVID protocols rocking the Swans/GWS game. Simmo would be panicked but he doesn't really know who's in his team....

17 - Mountain Jew 11.07.2021

This season is going QUICK! The boys unpack round 17 of the AFL season. Walsh ran his guts out, Doedee went full kamikaze and Danger had a cute little cuddle with Eddie. Don't forget to give our instagram a like (@borderbarrelspodcast) and make sure you are always polite to your postman. See ya next week.

16 - Solly Errornor 04.07.2021

The BB crew recap round 16 of the AFL season. The Tiges slip out of the 8, Brisbane continues to show us their worth and the dogs sneak into top spot. Gratz went to some footy and drank a few beers. Huddo and Simmo wish they went to the footy and definitely wish they had a few beers. Remember to follow the instagram page @borderbarrelspodcast and kick a barrel from time to time.

15 - Are You Gen-u-men? 27.06.2021

The BB crew cover round 15 of the AFL season. The bye rounds are now over, the big beers are in and Huddo puts Gratzy and Simmo in time out for interrupting. Don't forget to follow us on @borderbarrelspodcast on instagram and have fun doing it.

14 - Jamarra Google-Hagan 20.06.2021

This... was a bit of a train wreck. Round 14, the final bye round. Gratzy and Huddo go head to head LIVE watching Essendon vs Hawthorn, Simmo expresses his disappointment at the Bombers Powerade wastage and Huddo almost carks it mid pod. If you liked this one, theres 13 others so lucky you. 

13 - Kettle Of Worms 13.06.2021

AFL Round 13 wrap. The second of the bye rounds. Geelong looking dominant, Hawthorn finally got win and the King twins are allegedly getting traded for a pair of garden rakes. We also had a few beers and a couple of laughs. Make sure you find us on Instagram, send us a message and let us know what you think of the episode. @borderbarrelspodcast

12 - Dank The Tank 06.06.2021

The lads from BB break down games and happenings from round 12 (or 11.5 really) the bye round. D's are STILL on top, Tiges turned cerebral in the fouth quarter and Simmo accurately predicts the result between Dogs and Dockers. There's also a few packs of footy cards being opened. Still no gum.

11 - Potters Promise 30.05.2021

Round 11 of the AFL was an interesting one. COVID made a shock return from injury and plagued half of the games. The D's are on top of the table, Jack took a screamer and the package was delivered to the Don's right on time.

10 - Pendle Peddler 23.05.2021

The BBCrew recap round 10 of the AFL. This week we discuss the D's first loss, Our hate for keyboard warriors and Simmo's love for Aliir Aliir. Don't forget to follow us on our socials @borderbarrelspodcast on instagram & @border_barrels on twitter to stay up to date with Hudson's alcohol fuelled tweets at Champion Data.

09 - Crouching Jordan, Hidden Finger 16.05.2021

The BB crew come to you this week with the round 9 recap, as well as a fresh new intro! Highlights of the round include the mighty D's still sit on top of the ladder, the shinboner spirit has been revitalised as well as another ripper performance from Dusty. Yeah, you might be able to tell that we did discuss the Collingwood locker room incident. No, we didn't sensor ourselves. Peace.

08 - Prison Bar Blues 09.05.2021

Our longest episode yet! In this edition we discuss the happenings of round 8 of the AFL. Demons remain undefeated, Tiges had a shocker and Port pull on the prison bar jersey even though Uncle Eddie said no. Special thanks to Scott for sending us a ripper country footy barrel. Can someone please send us a message on anchor? We're sick of talking to eachother and want some outside interaction.
