Beercast #48 – Seeker Brewing Showcase
We’re all seekers of something.
For some, it’s as heavy as the emotional security of lifelong happiness, perhaps sought after in career goals, children or overcoming lifelong anxieties.
For us at Border Barrels, we tend to seek out beer. Good beer. REALLY good beer.
Thankfully, up and coming Wollongong superstars Seeker Brewing have fulfilled our desires.
We take a look at the short but rich history of the brewery, then start things off easy with a core range hazy session stunner.
From 0 to 100, we then jump into a massive Oat Cream NEIPA and cap off proceedings with a decadent Imperial Stout.
We also discover who brewed one of Simmo’s favourite GABS beers (hint: It’s Seeker).
Then, as usual, everything goes off the rails as Ferrets become a momentary conversation topic.
Thanks to Seeker brewing for making incredible beers and The Lane Cellars for supplying the goods.

Lil’ Hazy
This lil’ hazy is akin to walking past an unfamiliar front yard, getting absolutely blasted by barking (that sounds like it’s coming from some monster canine), only to find that it’s a chihuahua.
It might be small but this beer has the big dog energy from DDH editions of Cryo Pop and Vic Secret over a sweet, full body.
375ml | 3.5% ABV
Land Down Under Oat Cream IPA
Next up in our ‘Land’ series of Oat Creams we’re coming home to the land down under (or ‘Straya if we’re being technical).
Featuring Galaxy, Vic Secret and Eclipse, it’s as fruity as it gets down here.
So why not sit back, admire a beautiful landscape and belt out a true blue Aussie classic?
440ml | 7.2% ABV
Aqua Vitae Imperial Stout
Going for our biggest stout do date, we ramped up the malt bill to 11 and brewed this imperial stout over two days, taking only the first wort runnings.
This allowed us to keep the wort extract high and maximise flavour from the Voyager’s finest Veloria, Voodoo, chocolate, roasted wheat, roasted barley and oats.
Expect smooth rounded flavours of chocolate, coffee and vanilla tones with a syrupy mouthfeel and a boozy warmth.
Aqua Vitae – water of life.
440ml | 10.5% ABV
