b'Well, we\\u2019ve started the year well with two podcasts in two weeks and it\\u2019s a great one\\u2026if we say so ourselves.\\nThis week we interrupt Pete\\u2019s holiday to get his thoughts on the Ballarat Beer Festival, before quickly speaking with Brent Wright, National Beer Systems Manager for XXXX and find out a little about their new beer.\\n\\nRegular listeners might be a little surprised that we are doing a segment on XXXX Summer Cloudy Ginger Beer but, in addition to being a conversation, beer is a broad church. The discussion looks at the new beer, how it\\u2019s made and some of the techniques brewers use to make beers targeted at the largest part of the beer market.\\n\\nFinally, we catch up with Andrew \\u2018AG\\u2019 Gow, brewer at Victoria\\u2019s Mornington Peninsula Brewery. We have a wide ranging discussion about his career, his experiences at a variety of craft breweries and his current role at the recently established Mornington Peninsula Brewery.\\n\\nWe finish the show with what must surely be one of the greatest renditions of Beer Barrrel Polka ever, by Grady Martin and his Slewfoot Five. It simply has everything. May sure you listen to the end to rock out with this little number.\\n\\nFor show notes and links - including to purchase Beer Barrel Polka - visit www.brewsnews.com.au'
