Innocent Bystander Mea Culpa Yarra Valley Syrah 2018: Review

This is an appealing cold climate expression of shiraz from Innocent Bystander.

It has a lifted, floral perfume with notes of turkish delight and sandalwood.

On the palate it is medium-bodied with generous dark fruit character framed by well-integrated oak and spicy tannins.

This is @nicholasjmorgan's brilliant new book, as discussed with Nick himself in S11E5 of the Drinks Adventures podcast. It answers all of your burning questions about whisky; from what makes the perfect Scotch and how to drink it like a pro, to an exploration of distilleries around the world and their fascinating histories. Link in my bio to listen to an entertaining interview with Nick about the book and also his remarkable career in the whisky industry.⁠

In S11E3 of the podcast we met Nick Glaetzer of @glaetzer_dixon, which made history in 2011 when it became the first Tasmanian winery to win the Jimmy Watson – Australia’s most prestigious wine prize – at the @melbourne.royal wine awards. Link in my bio to listen as Nick reflects on the significance of that achievement, and discusses other recent happenings at Glaetzer-Dixon. 🍷 🎧 ⁠

In S11E2 of the Drinks Adventures podcast, we explored Chuck Hahn’s remarkable 50-year brewing career. He started @hahn_au, @jamessquire_au & Kosciuzszko… in fact, he (almost) singlehandedly kick started the Australian craft beer movement! One might call him Hahn Solo, and so we did. 📷 wizardry by @wazmania. Link in bio to listen 🍺 🎧

Recently I discovered the @principle_of_hospitalit

Recently I discovered the @principle_of_hospitality podcast, which is produced out of Melbourne by two hospitality veterans and longtime friends, Shaun de Vries and Sasha Fernando.

Their weekly podcast covers all aspects of hospitality’s diverse and fast-paced world, from fit-outs to service.

And while it’s targeted more at hospitality professionals, they also have some great guests from the world of drinks: Justin Joiner from Stomping Ground Brewery; Matt Brooke, sommelier at Crown Cellar & Co; and Dave Irwin from Patient Wolf Gin, to name a few.

This week, Drinks Adventures did an episode swap with POH. I shared Shaun’s interview with Evan Stroeve from Sydney’s acclaimed bar, Re, in South Eveleigh, which is pioneering a new approach to sustainable drinking.

Evan is the 2021 World Class Australian Bartender of the Year and ultimately came third in the global finals in July!

Tune in to the interview now on Drinks Adventures, and afterwards, make sure you subscribe to the POH podcast.

There’s been a raft of beers hitting the market

There’s been a raft of beers hitting the market bearing the ‘pacific ale’ moniker since 2018, when a court effectively ruled the title was fair game for other brewers to use.

The latest entrant to this emerging sub-genre of beers is @littlecreaturesbrewing Pacific Ale, coinciding with the pioneering brewer’s 21st anniversary this year.

There’s also a new Hazy IPA, and the entire range has had a bit of a facelift, with eye-catching new branding that puts the iconic Little Creatures cherub front and centre on the cans.

This is a special episode of the Drinks Adventures podcast, produced with the support of Little Creatures.

Listen in as we meet head brewer Russ Gosling and ambassador Paul Daley, who discuss the intent behind Little Creatures Pacific Ale, and the process that went into creating the beer.

Season 11 of the Drinks Adventures podcast launche

Season 11 of the Drinks Adventures podcast launches today! We’re joined in E1 by renowned beer writer @jeff.alworth for a discussion about the new edition of his landmark book, The Beer Bible. It turns out plenty has changed in beer since the first edition was published in 2015. The meteoric rise of hazy IPA and the near extinction of various beer styles are among some very interesting topics we cover. Link in bio to tune in! 🍺 🎧
