Hey Brew

Thankfully, 2020 is almost behind us! Rather than focus too much on that, we're focusing this episode on Christmas. More specifically, Elliot takes us through the history of the spirit of Christmas a…

It's time for the other special Firestone Walker beer Mike had, and another story ripped straight off the label. We're drinking the 2019 Molé Merkin, and talking about merkins. You might not know wha…

In a probably predictable move, given our penchant for absurd stories, we're finally covering The Emu War! Hear how a bunch of retired soldiers, armed with some serious firepower, still managed to lo…

Restrictions have eased enough here in Melbourne for Elliot and Mike to get back together in person to record this episode of Hey Brew! While it's another episode about maths (unintended), it's less …

It's a little bit of a dark and spooky one just in time for Halloween, with Elliot taking us deep into the Satanic Panic and apophenia. To wash that all down, we featured not one, but two beers from …

Like the story of the Rainbow Warrior we covered in episode 24, this is another sad piece of New Zealand history that Mike had always heard about, but never really knew the full story. This time, it'…

In the words of Tim Curry: SPAAAACE! Elliot set himself the challenge of discussing the various theorised ends of the universe without sending us hurtling into despair. I think he did a pretty good j…

It's time for another big beer on a Monday night. This episode features the 10.5% Viscosiraptor from Big Shed Brewing Concern, and despite what the name might lead you to think, we're not talking abo…

It's time for the story of the Cannonball Run, a very long, very unofficial, and legally dubious car race! Elliot tells us all about its origin and some of the more noteworthy developments along its …

It's time for another lockdown episode, and this time we're looking at some of Australia's big things! We start with the obvious big banana, before veering a bit off track to talk about some of the w…

We're back in lockdown again, but this time we've got a very fitting beer for it! Kalsarikännit is a Finnish word to describe the feeling of getting drunk at home in your underwear, with no intention…

Hold on to your beers! In this episode of Hey Brew, we have new friend of the show Jordan Tinker on to talk to us about his project to create an accurate replica of the Jeep Wrangler, as seen in the …

From the director that brought you comedy hits like Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II, it's 3 movies featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the lead actor for some reason! Featuring stories involving unli…

Standing at 12' 4", weighing in at 385lbs, hailing from Melbourne Australia: it's Hey Brew!

We were all set up to record last night, until Elliot started feeling a little sick. Rather than miss our very achievable fortnightly release schedule, Mike took it upon himself not only to drink 2 b…

The gang is back together again, and just in time too. Hey Brew is turning 1 year old today, and to celebrate we took some of your beer suggestions and turned them into a regular tasting paddle of He…

As if this podcast wasn't self-indulgent enough, this one features two things we both love: Turbo Fuzz from Garage Project and loud guitar sounds. Mike gives us a quick lesson on what guitar distorti…

Take a moment to sit with us grasshopper, as we cover the short period in the early '70s when everyone really was kung fu fighting. Elliot takes us on a journey (read: this one is a little longer tha…

This one has been a long time coming, mostly due to fear of what this 18% ABV beer would do to us. It's a small blessing that we're required to be at home for this one, meaning that we could safely g…

Like a lot of you, Hey Brew has gone remote! This was our first attempt at recording in disparate locations, and we're pretty happy with how it turned out. For this one, Elliot rejoins Mike and takes…
