Beercast #50 – Burnley Brewing Oktoberfest 50th Episode Special
Prost!
Boy oh boy, this was a fun one!
The Border Barrels crew presents a very special OKTOBERFEST episode, sparing absolutely no expense with kranskys, sauerkraut, lederhosen, and EIGHT German style beers on offering.
This fantastic journey wouldn’t have been possible without Melbourne’s Burnley Brewing and their limited edition Oktoberfest pack. 8 beers, including 6 collaborations with some of Australia’s finest breweries (yes, even Mountain Culture!)
We all learnt something about our favourite German styles, shared stories of our own Oktoberfest experiences (with mixed results), and hung shit on one another like always.
If only one of us had considered bringing a stein…
Thanks again to Burnley Brewing for a truly unique and educational beer drinking experience.
And Germany for inventing beer. Which may or may not be true.
