Podcast ‘sode 28: Murder-sheik – our yearly awards for 2014

Our yearly wrap of all things 2014. We drank some mead, got some great SA news from a listener then wrapped up our entire year with our favourite breweries, beers, events, and take a stab at what breweries to look out for and what trends to watch. We would love your take on the year past and the year ahead. Contact details at the bottom of these shownotes.
