Episode 82 - We Bought A Poorly Secured Zoo

Episode 81 - Just Deserts
October 25, 2022 21:00 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MBIt's been a good while between drinks, but never fear Hey Brew fans - we're back! It's Mike in the driver's seat this time, and we're talking deserts. No, not sweet treats. We're going over big, empty, sandy, deserts. More specifically, Australia's Nullabor Plain, and the strange goings-on it's seen over the years.

Episode 80 - The Little Castle That Could (Stay Out Of The War)
August 16, 2022 21:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBGet ready for some extremely localised Hey Brew content! Elliot is fresh back from a trip to his homeland, and has brought back some beery treats to share. This time, the boys split a bottle of beer based on a castle in Elliot's home town, while Elliot regales us with the story of the English Civil War. See what I mean?

Episode 79 - Get That Man A Parachute!
July 26, 2022 21:00 - 52 minutes - 48 MBWell folks, it finally happened. In our excitement to record two episodes in a single recording session, we independently wrote stories about the same thing. Apologies for the delay on this one, because Elliot also went out of the country, so we couldn't make that up. Anyway! Here's Mike's (and only Mike's) episode about one D. B. Cooper, a man who stole a plane and seemingly got away with it? Who knows! Also, I promise you this episode was recorded before Netflix et al. went and p...
Episode 78 - Niagara? I Hardly Know Her!
June 28, 2022 21:00 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MBWe love weirdos doing death-defying stunts, and this episode is one all about a particular breed of those weirdos: people who do stunts involving the Niagara Falls. There are tales aplenty of people who did mad things and didn't perish, some who did, and some stories that are just plain silly. Best stick to the rivers and lakes that you're used to.

Episode 77 - A Different Kind of Jay Z
June 14, 2022 21:00 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MBAfter a slightly long, largely unintended break, we're back in full swing with another dose of Hey Brew yarn-spinning goodness! Freshly recharged from a beer festival, this time Mike is talking about the story of John DeLorean and his journey through the automotive industry.

Episode 76 - This Planet Is Just Right
April 26, 2022 21:00 - 58 minutes - 53.2 MBIt's no secret: we've gone and made a mess of this planet we call home. This episode, Elliot tells us a tale of those who search for planets like it, in the hopes of finding a new home that we can escape to, before wrecking that one too I guess. Climate anxiety, ahoy!

Episode 75 - Stairway To Heaven
April 12, 2022 21:00 - 53 minutes - 49.1 MBSurprise surprise, it's Hey Brew doing a story about some weird folks with weird obsessions. This time around, it's Mike telling the story of Heaven's Gate, the new religious group (read: cult) that gained notoriety in the late 90s for, well, some pretty grim stuff. We handle it in the traditional Hey Brew style, which is to say, we drink a mad beer while we talk about it and try to distract ourselves from the story.

Episode 74 - A Tale Of Two Johns
March 29, 2022 20:00 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MBThought we couldn't do an episode that's more on brand for us as people? Elliot's here to say hold my beer. It's a rather good yoghurt parfait sour from a brewery new to us, and paired with that delightful drop is the near-diabolical tale of Daikatana, a particularly bad video game from one of the creators of DOOM.

Episode 73 - I Ain't Afraid Of No Ghost
March 15, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBIf you thought the 18% ABV Rhino was a contentious beer, wait until you see what we've got this time. It's a spooky, green beer, and to help us get through it, we've got a little dive into the world of ghost hunting and the technology utilised by those that probe the paranormal.

Episode 72 - The Greatest Hoax Ever Hulaed
February 22, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBHere's a story of some stuff that didn't really happen, followed by some stuff that did happen but we kinda wish it hadn't. Elliot's here with some stories of hoaxes, but a rather specific one primarily that shines a light on some dark spots in the psychiatric care industry. Yeah, look, it's a bit of a dark one. Don't worry though - we bring it back around towards the end in a very Hey Brew kinda way. Featured beers: Stone & Wood x Afends - Crop Circles Follow Hey Brew on Facebook...
Episode 71 - Fairly Safe At Most Speeds
February 08, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBYou already know that we're into cars, having featured stories about them in a few Hey Brews before. This time, we've got a bit of a tour through the history of car safety. We get surprised at how old some safety features are, pleasantly shocked at how often Volvo shows up in this list, and disgusted with the dark past of crash test dummies. Combine this with a banger of a sour from Adroit Theory, and it's an episode sure to take pole position! Featured beers: Adroit Theory - Illus...
Episode 70 - Extra! Extra! Read All About It!
January 25, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 57.1 MBHere is our first episode actually recorded in 2022. Things are fine and not at all bad. We're gonna fact check that however, by checking in with the news. Elliot is talking all about Weekly World News, self-proclaimedly "The World's Only Reliable News". There are some kinda weird tales in here, and surprise surprise, they're right up our alley.

Episode 69 - I Want To Suck Your Blood
January 11, 2022 20:00 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MBWe finally made it. Episode 69. We've got a real meal of an episode here, with the story of people who think they're vampires. In the spirit of full disclosure, we recorded this one right after recording the previous episode, so we're coming in a little hotter than usual. For more than one reason.

Episode 68 - Watch These Yōkai
December 28, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBIt's the last episode of Hey Brew for the year 2021. We're going out in our traditional style: talking about something a little bit spooky.

Episode 66 - That's Numberwang!
November 30, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBNumbers have given us so much, but sometimes, they can hide some allegedly spooky things. Elliot has brought to the table the story of number stations: a seemingly harmless, often creepy method of communication that has been around for sometime, and despite technological advancements is likely to continue for some time yet.

Episode 65 - The Bulgarian Dissident
November 16, 2021 20:00 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MBHello comrades! This time around, Mike has a story that you might have heard about before, with the apparent assassination of Georgi Markov back in 1978, killed with a sneaky little poison. Some poisons only take one drop to kill, hence this week's pairing with a rather delicious beer from One Drop Brewing Co.

Episode 64 - Actually Satan This Time
November 02, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBBelieve it or not, after 16 weeks of recording from home, the boys are back together in person to bring you the Hey Brew you know and love! Just in time for the end of the spooky season too, as Elliot has brought some history of The Satanic Temple and to go with it, a beer all the way from Sweden. It's good to be back.

Episode 63 - Finnish Him!
October 19, 2021 20:00 - 51 minutes - 47.5 MBThe spooky season continues here on Hey Brew, with a returning concept: the mythology of Nordic countries!

Episode 62 - Beware The Return Of The Iberian Wolf
October 05, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 67.7 MBAwoooooooooo! Welcome to the spooky season, Hey Brew fans! In this episode, Elliot is talking about the legend of the werewolf. We've got the origin of the myth, some different versions of that myth, as well as a whole lot of nonsense along the way. Fair warning: this episode has a particularly cursed energy.

Episode 61 - It's Sabbath, Innit?
September 21, 2021 21:00 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBRecording on a Sunday, talking about an old English heavy metal band, it's all Sabbath today! It's an apparently-hard-to-find beer and a quick rundown on the starting lineup for Black Sabbath.

Episode 59 - Laser Swords
August 24, 2021 21:00 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBWe might still be in lockdown, but we've managed to coordinate drinking the same beer again! It's easy when it's a very popular beer from a local brewery. It's time for J(edi) Juice, and lightsabers! Hey Disney, please don't sue us. Featured beers: Hop Nation Brewing Co. - J Juice Follow Hey Brew on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Episode 58 - The Men Behind The Masks
August 10, 2021 21:00 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBWe're up to Lockdown number 6 in Melbourne, so we're still at home for another remote Hey Brew. Elliot's here to talk to us about Mexican wrestlers, so while we're all very familiar with a certain type of masks, we'll be talking about very different ones indeed this time.

Episode 57 - Up, Up, and Away
July 27, 2021 21:00 - 56 minutes - 51.9 MBLockdown number 5 has hit Melbourne, and Mike's cold has passed, so the boys are recording from home again. This time, we couldn't quite get the beers to line up, but we've at least both hit the theme, which is the Concorde supersonic airliner! Strap in for a high-speed episode!

June 29, 2021 21:00 - 50 minutes - 38.8 MBOur little lockdown has eased here in Melbourne, so we're back together again, and the energy is, uh, good? Elliot's brought the story of famed lawyer Melvin Belli, who represented some rather high-profile folks, and was a bit of a mad lad. Find out all about him this time on Hey Brew!

Episode 55 - The Troubles With The Kalash
June 15, 2021 21:00 - 1 hour - 48.5 MBLockdown continues here in Melbourne, so we're making the most of it and tackling a rather hefty beer. We've paired a rather heavy topic to go with it: the Troubles, or the Northern Ireland conflict that began in the 1960s. Time to feel bad for being British, I guess?

June 01, 2021 21:00 - 1 hour - 49.5 MBWe're back in lockdown here in Melbourne, but that didn't stop us before! We try to settle back into the rhythm of recording across the internet, and Elliot's brought the not-at-all-unsettling topic of the uncanny valley to distract us from the state of the world.

Episode 53 - California Cheeseburgers
May 18, 2021 21:00 - 51 minutes - 38.1 MBAs the name of the beer might suggest, today it's all about acid! To be more specific, it's the LSD kind of acid, its discovery, some of its more interesting history, and some truly bizarre stuff along the way.

Episode 52 - Best Served Cold
May 04, 2021 21:00 - 58 minutes - 44.4 MBIt was always leading to this. We finally get around to the ultimate tale of people getting into precarious situations in the great outdoors, with Elliot taking us on an abridged tour of the journey of the Donner Party. Maybe next time we'll try and do something a little lighter... Featured beers: FiftyFifty Brewing Co. - Donner Party Porter Follow Hey Brew on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Episode 51 - The English Calamity
April 20, 2021 21:00 - 52 minutes - 39.5 MBWe swear it's not intentional, but Mike's back this time with another story of folks having a tough time in the wilderness. This time, it's a school group from England and a treacherous hike in Germany, way back in 1936. Featured beers: Capital Brewing Co. - Rock Hopper Follow Hey Brew on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Episode 50 - I Read It For The Articles
April 06, 2021 21:00 - 59 minutes - 45.8 MBIt's Easter, so we did something a little special with the beer. Something very indulgent. Speaking of indulgence, Elliot is here this week to tell the tale of the Playboy magazine. Y'know, because of the bunnies? These are getting harder to write.

Episode 49 - Why Are Dates So Hard?
March 23, 2021 20:00 - 54 minutes - 41.8 MBComputers break in some pretty surprising and interesting ways. This episode, Mike takes us through a couple of rather high-profile examples that were someone's fault: Y2K and the upcoming (and similar) Year 2038 problem. Don't freak out though, neither of them are as bad as they seem. Featured beers: Cervecera Peninsula & BrewHeart - Blue Screen Follow Hey Brew on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Episode 48 - Venom (not the band)
February 23, 2021 20:00 - 59 minutes - 47.1 MBAustralia is known for being full of creatures that'll kill you in any number of different ways, but this time Elliot is just focusing on one of those: the venomous ones.

Episode 47 - The House Always Wins
February 02, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 52.5 MBWe've got just enough knowledge about things like the stock market and the economy to get you close enough to understanding what's going on with this whole Gamestop stock situation over the last few weeks, so we're going to try! It's Hey Brew at its most topical, and as a result, its most likely to get things at least a little bit wrong. It's at least entertaining!

Episode 46 - We'll Make A Man Out Of You
January 19, 2021 20:00 - 57 minutes - 44.5 MBSome days, I want to be more than just a man.

Episode 45 - Get In The Hole
January 05, 2021 20:00 - 58 minutes - 44.1 MBThe property market is busted, basically everywhere. What if, instead of fighting over the same boxes to live in, we lived in holes instead? Well, today we explore that very topic. We're taking a look at earthscrapers - something that will sound like science fiction, but is in reality a rather old idea with a number of surprising benefits.

Episode 44 - Daddy Chrimbo
December 22, 2020 20:00 - 48 minutes - 37.4 MBThankfully, 2020 is almost behind us! Rather than focus too much on that, we're focusing this episode on Christmas. More specifically, Elliot takes us through the history of the spirit of Christmas and Father Christmas himself.

December 08, 2020 20:00 - 42 minutes - 32.1 MBIt's time for the other special Firestone Walker beer Mike had, and another story ripped straight off the label. We're drinking the 2019 Molé Merkin, and talking about merkins. You might not know what a merkin is going into this one, but by the end we hope you'll have a couple of stories of your own about them to tell your friends.

Episode 42 - Big Bird Goes to War
November 24, 2020 20:00 - 48 minutes - 37.6 MBIn a probably predictable move, given our penchant for absurd stories, we're finally covering The Emu War! Hear how a bunch of retired soldiers, armed with some serious firepower, still managed to lose a war against a bunch of large birds. I think they skipped this verse in I Come From A Land Down Under.

Episode 41 - Stout Day Part III: What Goes Up Must Come Down
November 10, 2020 20:00 - 49 minutes - 38.3 MBRestrictions have eased enough here in Melbourne for Elliot and Mike to get back together in person to record this episode of Hey Brew! While it's another episode about maths (unintended), it's less theory and more cool applications. Gravity! Heat rays! Throwing things off of infinitely tall buildings! It's all here this week on Hey Brew. Featured beers: Firestone Walker - Parabola (2018) Follow Hey Brew on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Visit our website at https://www.heybrew...
Episode 40 - The Devil's in the Details
October 27, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBIt's a little bit of a dark and spooky one just in time for Halloween, with Elliot taking us deep into the Satanic Panic and apophenia. To wash that all down, we featured not one, but two beers from show favourites Garage Project in the form of their paired beers Jekyll and Hyde. It is, after all, time to finally (but cautiously) get on the beers. Featured beers: Garage Project - Jekyll & Hyde Follow Hey Brew on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Episode 39 - Disaster on Mount Erebus
October 13, 2020 20:00 - 53 minutes - 41.3 MBLike the story of the Rainbow Warrior we covered in episode 24, this is another sad piece of New Zealand history that Mike had always heard about, but never really knew the full story. This time, it's an introduction to the 1979 Mount Erebus disaster involving Air New Zealand Flight 901, New Zealand's worst civil disaster. We do what we can to bring some levity to the tale, which probably came more from the 11+% beers we were both drinking. Featured beers: Big Shed Brewing Concern ...
Episode 38 - The Big Drink
September 22, 2020 21:00 - 53 minutes - 42.4 MBIn the words of Tim Curry: SPAAAACE! Elliot set himself the challenge of discussing the various theorised ends of the universe without sending us hurtling into despair. I think he did a pretty good job, but then again, the 10% beer might have had something to do with it.

Episode 37 - Thicker Than Your Average
September 08, 2020 21:00 - 51 minutes - 39.8 MBIt's time for another big beer on a Monday night. This episode features the 10.5% Viscosiraptor from Big Shed Brewing Concern, and despite what the name might lead you to think, we're not talking about dinosaurs on this one. Instead, it's time for a very amateur science lesson as Mike does his best to describe viscosity and Non-Newtonian fluids.

Episode 36 - A Nice, Leisurely Drive
August 25, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBIt's time for the story of the Cannonball Run, a very long, very unofficial, and legally dubious car race! Elliot tells us all about its origin and some of the more noteworthy developments along its history. To go with this one, we had a beer that would definitely render you unable to drive - the First Tracks Imperial Stout from Capital Brewing, weighing in at 10.5% ABV. It was a good ride.

Episode 35 - Some Very Big Things
August 11, 2020 21:00 - 54 minutes - 42 MBIt's time for another lockdown episode, and this time we're looking at some of Australia's big things! We start with the obvious big banana, before veering a bit off track to talk about some of the weirder ones out there (at least, as far as Mike is concerned). I think we might have accidentally committed to a Hey Brew road trip when we're allowed to be outside again? Either way, this one was a bunch of fun.
