#32 - Northern NSW Road Trip 2024

Aussie Beer Voyage

In this episode, you'll be guided by Joel's dulcet tones as he narrates the entire trip in an overview as we meandered down from Brisbane to as far south as Coffs Harbour. Writing this now, who was Coffs? Anyway, I digress, mostly because I don't to say much in this episode! Some people will likely enjoy that more - Adsy.

We've taken our very first real voyage as part of the Aussie Beer Voyage (ABV) podcast to Northern NSW! We also visited Smokey at Currumbin Valley Brewing, which is really at the butt end of QLD and NSW border region, but who's asking? This voyage was an epic adventure for more than one reason. It's been a dream of both Adsy & Joel to be able to travel further afield than just the Brisbane region, and this trip was all courtesy of our sponsors for making it financially viable. Check them out, they're all legends!

Across four adventure filled days, we trekked and voyaged ourselves all the way from Brisbane's south down to Coffs Harbour and back again. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows though. In fact, it was more rain with little sun and a few rainbows. We'd planned this journey down to the minute, and it wasn't until a week before that we (Adsy) hadn't factored in that it was still daylight savings in NSW, which would finish on the Sunday they were away. Thankfully, we (Adsy again) hadn't confirmed an interview time yet with a brewery, and that caught us an hour back on the Thursday morning. Confirming interviews would later come back to bite us...

We love our amazing sponsors ⁠Bintani⁠, ⁠Konvoy Kegs⁠, ⁠Craft Punks Canning⁠, ⁠Rallings Labels⁠ and ⁠CRAFTD. Glass⁠ once again, our thanks. As industry people supporting the little guys like us, it’s invaluable what they do for the industry, but also in support of us.

A special thanks also to both ⁠Amber Hour App⁠ for giving us use of their app, and ⁠Beers Illustrated⁠ for providing us with our awesome logos and continual support when we accidently delete them!

And it goes without saying, thanks to ⁠Hiker Brewing Concern⁠ for giving us excellent beer many times a week, and letting run amuck in their brewery more times per week than anywhere else.

And special thanks to you, our fans who may have watched or listened to this episode. Essentially, you’re the reason we’re doing this and it makes a world of difference. We could do it without you, but it wouldn’t be as fun and probably not as worthwhile.
