Episode 33 - Interesting News & The Romanian Contender

If this is your first time listening to a Beer O'Clock Australia podcast, welcome! We change the segments up a little each month, however most months we'll discuss some of the latest news from the beer world, we'll talk about some beers that we've been enjoying over the last month & we'll crack something interesting from my cellar.. This episode we discuss a shed load of news, some of which have wide ranging industry impacts, talk about the beers - both alcoholic & non-alcoholic - that we've been drinking, slot a Romanian lager into our Ranking of Lagers & manage to fit in the first Cellar beer for months. It's a jam packed show so let's get into it!
