Pouring Old Men: A Craft Beer Podcast

Hello you, and merry Christmas from the Pouring Old Men. In amongst the Christmas Chatter we also discuss our favourite TV and movies of the year. Sorry for the rough edit...time was short this week!

Ever wanted to know what to do when hitting the town in Brisbane? Well, we are probably the wrong people to ask. After this episode of the podcast you probably still won't have any idea of places to go.  You might, however, learn a little too much about at least one of the hosts. W might even talk about stuff that is completely irrelevant to the subject at hand.  We also drink beer...well, some of us do. 

What is up with all these dodgey buggers lately trying to cheat their way to the top? From Fishing to chess, to poker and Irish Dancing there is no limit to the sports where cheaters try to prosper. Russ and Warren kick it old school with a few old brews. Plus who will win the 2022 World Cup? We have no idea but we will at least discuss it for a little bit 

CUB proudly announced recently "Fruity Beer", a new category of flavoured beer, would be launched onto bottle shop shelves nationwide. The idea of this had craft beer drinkers, including myself, scoffing into their fancy glasses of heavily hopped beers with disgust. But what is Fruity beer anyway? Is CUB trying to attack the craft beer market? And what level of awfulness is this new product. I was curious to find out...but too embarrassed to invite anyone else to the podcast. 

The joy of craft beer is discovering new and exciting beer and beer makers. That is what Wazza and Pouring Old Russ set out to do on this episode. We find some great, new small breweries to explore and, regretfully, one colossal beer maker that was surprisingly hard to recognize. 

It's time get to all Fatherly with Warren, Russell and Kris as we embrace our ultamite dad form and basically have a giant whinge about the world. It's not all negative, we also briefly talk about the good things of the Dad Life. We also drink a couple of beers, probably an important part of a craft beer podcast. Enjoy!

After an extended period of quiet quitting the Pouring Old Men return just in time foe Stout Season. Not that stout season ever ends for Russell and Warren.  We also dive into probaby way too much nonsense chat about things that are not craft beer/ It's good to be back. Be sure to follow the Pouring Old Men facebook group and join the conversation. Plus follow us on Instagram @PouringOldMen. Follow Russ #PouringOldMen.podcast Kris is @The_Neighbour_Official Cheers!

Long time friend of the show Brewcha Libre was kind enough to send us a selection of beers over from WA.  To mark this special occasion we dusted off an old friend for the show...Warren returns, complete with strange sun tan lines from the beaches of Fiji. As well as enjoyinh delicious beers we discuss the Mandela Effect, Science and towing caravans.  Stay Awesome!

Not going to Gabs 2022 is a bit of a sore point for Pouring Old Russ, so to make up for it he has grabbed one of the fabulous sample boxes from Uncle Dans and is diving deep into th carboard to get the skinny on all eight of the beers within. So join Russ, and only Russ, as he reviews every single one of the beers from the 2022 Gabs Festival Mix Box. There's sours, hazys, good beers and a few too many bad beers. Something for everyone. Unless you don't like beer, in which case maybe go buy some cruisers instead. Anyway enjoy. instagram/PouringOldMen.Podcast

For some of us everyday is a cheat day but todays episode is a proper cheat day. Working Title Brewing are a bit of a favourite around the Pouring Old Men microphone so it was with great anticipation that we grabbed one of their recently released "Cheat Day" packs. These packs contain four unique beers that wouldn't look out of place at Willy Wonkas chocolate factory. They're wild, they're bold but the question remains...are they any good?

You'd think after 69 epiosdes of the show Russ would know how to record through the correct mic. I guess not. So apologies for the audio issues, the down side is Kris is a little hard to hear at times. The upside, is that Kris is a little hard to hear at times. The big question for this episode is, "Which Brewery is the Australian Equivelant of Garage Project?"  Garage Project is a remarkable brewery that seem to excel in many facets of brewing; quality, variety, innovation, creativity while running at an ever increasing size and still capturing a cult status among it's followers. So which brewery on this side of the tasman meats all of those criteria?  Disagree with our opinions? Then side us a message on Instagram @PouringOldMen.Podcast Cheers! 

On this episode we talk about what could be the strangest beer in the world, and yes it is even stranger than a XXXX Dry with a slice of lime. Plus Kris tries to get some redemption for Green Beacon 

Wastin' away again in Margarita-Gose`-ville Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt I don't know that song well enough to re-word it into something clever and podcast specific. Anyway, this is part 1 of 2 from this recording, we talked for a long time about a lot of stuff. So...enjoy!

Beers be drunk by podcast talkers. Green Beacon beers full of floaters Need for Cryo and Haze from hops WIth it being Easter, we have a choc top.

Old beers, new beers, beer news, old men talking about being old and PowerPoint presentations.  This episode has it all. A bumper episode is here for your audio pleasure. 

On this weeks episode of the Pouring Old Men, we are joined by Matty from GoodTime Craftys. We take a belated look at the already-started NRL season while ignoring every other sport thats happening at the moment. Russ has found a few Smoothie Sours out in the wild and is keen to put them to the test. 

What do you call a zoom call in the middle of a monsoon? A Mon-Zoom of course.  And what else does one do in the midst of monsoonal rains in Brisbane? Make a podcast with a little help from Zoom. Warren re-joins the Pouring Old Men podcast via a zoom link, with Russ and Kris on the other end.  This means we review more beers in one episode than ever before, and probably talk more nonsense than ever before too. 

Every rock band has been through moments when band members decide to go it alone and carve out a solo career, as so when Russ was ditched but the other Pouring Old Men he thought to himself, "this is my time to shine!"  With a microphone in one hand and a box of Gabs Festival beers in the other, our intrepid hero strides into the podcast world alone, peerless...friendless, even. Let's be honest, Russ got ditched by people that actually have a life and was so bored he decided to drink tasty beers in front of a microphone and call it a podcast. Enjoy!

Which child of the 80's or 90's didn't make a mixtape to play with their mates? Now those children have grown up, grown old and now we have playlists on Spotify instead. So here is Pouring Old Russ and Kris from Next Door putting together our very own Pouring Old Men Mixtape for all you beer drinkers out there. Got a suggestion? Reach out to me on Instagram @pouringoldruss

Springfield's own Ash Barty is on top of the world once again after claiming the Australian Open title on Saturday night. As if having a small, non-descript bridge on a local back road named after here wasn't enough of an honour, she now has a whole Pouring Old Men episode dedicated to her. Sort of, one of the Pouring Old Men put some effort in, the other grabbed some leftover beers from the back of the fridge.
