It's the second episode we recorded at the 2023 Williamstown Beer & Cider Festival and again a big big thank you to Shane and the team who turned on an amazing festival! It's a live recording so there's a bit of background noise but luckily Mik from Hopocrisy is still on hand to deal with the wandering saxophonist! First off we catch up with all the news from Kaiju, where there's a new brewer in town and some well-known recipes changing! We hear all about what's changed in 2023 and their plans for 2024 and after some effort from the team Davydd learns that the Kaiju Cantina isn't a cantina anymore! And then it's time to catch up with our friends from Noodledoof who have some great new beers to chat about - but who also catch Mik's eye with some spirits!     

The first of two podcast recorded live at the 2023 Williamstown Beer and Cider Festival - huge thanks to Shane and festival team for welcoming us and putting together such an epic event. Due to this being a live show, and the roaming saxophonist who was playing at the festival, audio quality is not up to our highest standard, but we hope that you'll enjoy some great insights from some of Melbourne's best brewers.  In the absence of Mik from Hopocrisy returns to the show, this time as co-host to tell us all about the first two Willy beer festivals that he [almost] attended, as well as taking us on a little historical tour of the suburb. Then it's Tim from Coconspirators introducing us to a new creation as well as our old favourite The Hostess. We hear all about the changes he's seen in the local beer scene in 2023 and the brewery's plans for 2024 including Davydd's many guesses as to what kind of restaurant might open at the tap house. Then it's a chance to catch up again with Urban Alley, a year after we first encountered them at the last Williamstown Festival. We meet Ruth for the first time and hear about her story before arriving at UA and again get their insights into what's changed in Melbourne's beer scene in 2023.

Davydd and Warren headed out to Masterson's Bar in Moonee Ponds for a live show with Dough and Adam from Bells Beach Brewing in front of a great live audience! As ever with a live show there are a few audio issues to deal with [and a few forgetful host issues as well!] We hear the origin stories of the brewery and which they tried before finding success in the market. We enjoy a cracking yuzu beer and learn all about the fruit that makes it so special. And then it's on to a WCIPA and the opportunity to discuss the "staunch" rules the brewery follows when creating this style. Gill from Masterson's joins the chat and we explore which styles are hot at the moment, what makes a good beer rep and what are the best bits about doing a collaboration with one of your favourite breweries. Don't forget to join us for our next live show at the Williamstown Beer and Cider Festival!

This month we are back on zoom. With busy schedules and James swanning off abroad, Adam, Laura and Sean catch up over a beer. Laura chats about her trip to Stockport and Smokefest and we forward to October's Steel City Beer and Cider Festival

Before the end of December, generally, they experience their first thawing. Those which a month ago were sour, crabbed, and quite unpalatable to the civilized taste, such at least as were frozen while sound, let a warmer sun come to thaw them, for they are extremely sensitive to its rays, are found to be filled...

Every year COVID aside the Central Coast of California cider community comes together to host an amazing event so aptly named: the Central Coast Cider Festival. The event showcases ciders from all over the state, poured by the producers themselves. There's music, and food trucks, and did I mention tons of cider? If you're nearby, check it out. If you're not look around and you might find one just like it nearby. For this episode I sit down with the planning team to share all about why it started, why these festivals are important, and what it's like putting one on. We're heading behind the scenes of a cider event!Central Coast Cider Festival - AUGUST 12th 4pm-8pmBuy Tickets!Volunteer!Follow! @ccciderfestivalAwesome Cider Participants2 Broads CiderworksGopher Glen Cider Co.Kelsey See Canyon VineyardsSycamore Ranch Cider WorksTin City Cider Co.Two Broads CiderworksBristols CiderBlindwood CiderDurham Cider + Wine Co.Shindig CiderSLO Cider Co.Mount Diablo CiderApiary Beverage Co.Hemly CiderRaging Cider & MeadLassen Traditional CiderMission Trail Cider HouseCasa De Oro CiderBenny Boy BrewingBlack Hand CellarsFriendly NoisePonderosa CiderPoisoned AppleMy805Tix Event Website for the Central CoastThank you to Tony Stuck for the awesome intro/outro music and to Mary Ann King for the amazing pod art that you see for every episode.

Those which a month ago were sour, crabbed, and quite unpalatable to the civilized taste, such at least as were frozen while sound, let a warmer sun come to thaw them, for they are extremely sensitive to its rays, are found to be filled... The post June 10th 2023- The 4th Annual BC Cider Festival / Part One appeared first on Mulligan Stew.

Debs Padwick talks to Leila Frances, a volunteer from CAMRA, about the upcoming Kingston Beer & Cider Festival on the 18th to 20th May.

In the third of our three episodes from the Williamstown Beer and Cider Festival [make sure you get along there next year!] we are joined by Blackmans, Bonehead and Sobremesa. Luke from Blackmans shares his boundless enthusiasm for introducing new people to craft beer and also the  City of Geelong that inspires their new Pivot City Lager. Can we declare 2022 to finally be the Year of the Lager? And just which of the many quotes he comes up with would make the best t-shirt? Then even though we were supposed to be packing up Anthony from Bonehead drops past bringing Casey who brings not just Bonehead stories but also insights into his own venture Sobremesa.  We hear about his journey from wine-making to craft beer and which of the skills are transferrable and which would horrify his winemaking family. We learn about some huge awards he's recently one and all about the first ever core range beer from Sobremesa. As this was an outside broadcast the audio is not of the high quality we normally aim for but we trust you'll forgive us given the great stories on the show!

It's the second of our three episodes featuring interviews from the Williamstown Beer and Cider Festival and again a big thanks to Shane and the team for bringing us along that day! Davydd chats with Jacqui from Coconspirators about the brewery's birthday plans and the new core range beers before Clint from Pocket Beagles predictably crashes the party and starts talking can designs and the time that he had his shorts ripped off him at a beer festival. Urban Alley introduce their brewery and a fun line up of beers including the highest ranked Australian Aussie Pale Ale from the World Beer Awards - the first 2 Aussie Pales weren't even from Australia - prompting Davydd to threaten a letter writing campaign. We hear all about the roll out of their venues before getting sidetracked with trombone talk.  And then we chat with the Clifton Hill Brewpub about the long and storied history of the venue and what it's like to transition from the world of home brewing into being a professional brewer!

It's back! After three years away, the Steel City Beer and Cider Festival finally returns at Kelham Island museum in Sheffield.James and Laura lead our special episode recorded on the opening night on Wednesday 19 October, with a bit of Sean thrown in when we can peel him away from his hostess with the mostest duties.Plus we have a fine line-up of guests throughout the episode.Depending when you listen to this - still plenty of time to get down to the festival, which runs until Saturday.

This is a unique episode of The Madness Continues. I connected with Trevor from Ciderscene (www.ciderscene.com) at the South Loop Beer & Cider Festival over getting wasted over cider and we thought it would be fun to visit a cider house and talk about it.
