Beercast #44 – Firestone Walker Tap Takeover @ The Goods Shed (+ Fox Friday Beer)
Border Barrels goes international!
For the first time in our brewery showcase series, we’re heading overseas for a very special on-site tasting experience at our beloved Goods Shed.
Legendary hop hounds Firestone Walker (California) sent over exclusive kegs for the Australian High Country festival season, and the Border Barrels crew were primed and ready.
We dive into the deep history of a pioneer US craft brewery, and taste test some of their finest product.
Thanks to Firestone Walker for sending over the goods and The Goods Shed for hosting us once again.
