156 - One Drop Live at Hopheads

Travis, Warren and Davydd are joined by Nick and Monty from One Drop Brewing Co at Hopheads in Yarraville for a live tasting session! [And because it's a live broadcast the audio quality is perhaps not up to our usual standards - please forgive us!]

We explore hoppy beers and sours and learn about the different brewing techniques required to produce both styles as the stories behind the beers and the brewery.

Just what is an "ideation process" and is there a "Committee for Adding Things" at One Drop?

We put new One Drop rep Michael through his paces on only his second day and have an illuminating conversation about things that emerge from sewers.
