Bacchus Brewing Series Week 2: Surviving the Apocalypse with Scots (and owner of Bacchus, Ross Kendrick)

The second of a series of specials focusing on some of Brisbane-based Bacchus Brewing delights. Our standard Freed Man pod ep will be released later this week.

This week we're starting with a palate cleansing Atomic Blackberry Fruited Berliner Weisse and then turning up the heat to prove our manliness with the hard-hitting Blacc Plums Islay Edition Fruited Imperial Stout.

So naturally, made sense to bring owner of Bacchus Brewing, Ross Kenrick, onto the pod again to discuss this powerful stout and marry the two drinks together by counting down our top three Scots we'd like to survive an atomic apocalypse with.

Ep 29: Phil has a ‘leg‘ day, Adzo makes pizza and TD‘s cat has a sex change

New format to the pod as we launch our separate "Beer and Countdown" pod in our Bacchus Brewing Series. 

Meanwhile it's all things good stuff in here as we get into our Feats of Manliness in which Phil gets buffed, Adz makes pizza and I wake early. Our Heroes range from football players (Phil, no surprises) to KFC criminals to dead directors of romcoms. Those pesky NRL players are up to no good again in You're Fuckin' Kiddin', Right?, it's a Bad Week To Be Peppa Pig (seriously!) and we finish the pod off with a special 'on location' with Anonymous and Chappy (of Chappy Asks fame) in Brisbane. It's a good time all round fellas. And for your Hold My Beer hit as well as our countdown of our "Top 3 Queenslanders or Canadians we'd like to share a beer with" in honour of International Drink a Beer Day (it's a legit thing), check out our ep released on September 27.
