Beercast #47 – Garage Project Coffee vs. Tea Showcase
Coffee vs Tea.
An age old debate.
But on a beer podcast?
It can only mean one thing, and that’s experimental brew time!
For the first time ever, our Brewery Showcase series goes international, courtesy of a very special trio of limited release beers from New Zealand masters Garage Project.
Ingredients we’ve never heard of are thrown into our podcast whirlpool, resulting in a one-of-a-kind tasting experience.
A sour, a porter, and a hazy fill the bill, but these styles only scratch the surface of what these beers actually present.
Thank you to Garage Project, for allowing us to bring you OUR garage project, live from the Not So Good Shed.
