[Updated Version!] Travis and Davydd are joined by the gang from Hopheads, an innovative and exciting pair of bottleshops in Melbourne's West.

There's exploding kegs, some friendly bickering about who found the Altona site and a safe that became a cool room! Which Melbourne bars were the inspiration for Hopheads, which do the guys think are Australia's most over-rated and will there ever be a Hopheads in Yarraville?

Will Davydd manage to convince the Malaysian government to give him an all-expenses paid tip to help boost tourism, and what's coming through Travis' ceiling windows today?

There's also some sensible conversations about what steps the guys are taking to ensure that business can continue through the corona virus lockdown, which breweries helped out with canning lines [Spoiler it was Hop Nation and Dainton] and which beers are their unicorns?

Hopheads can be found here: https://hopheads.com.au and here: https://www.facebook.com/hopheadsAU/ but not here: www.hopheadsbar.com
