Ben welcomes Matt Park of Toronto's Burdock Brewery to discuss secret concerts, hosting literal gong shows, the burden of being Katie Perry's Sister's favourite pickle seltzer, and brewing the McRib of the beer world. 

Ben and Chris report from the Ontario Craft Brewers Conference in Hamilton and are joined for a round table discussion by Gavin Anderson of Anderson Craft Ales, Kevin Freer of Block Three Brewing, and Jason Fisher of Indie Alehouse to talk about the OCB, supporting small brewers, and chasing trends. Gavin dons an ill-fitting crown and bonds with Chris over the Wheel of Time series, Kevin gets wistful about craft beer bringing misfits together, and Jason suggests there's probably alcohol in your non-alcoholic beer, plus the word "sparklechunk" is said way too much. 

Ben chats with Curt Thomas, brewer and co-founder of Three Sheets Brewing in Port Elgin about brewing beer in cottage country, learning the ropes from the Godfather of Craft Brewing, cyanide beer, and his disdain for Belgian beer.

Ben and Chris drop a rare Friday check-in just to offer the fans some proof of life, celebrate the complete roster for the Lil’ Bullshitters baseball team, discuss Ron Perlman vs Rhea Perlman, and toast the opportunity to buy booze from a convenience store at 7am. 

Ben and Chris talk beer glassware, renting a van to get out and try more beer, cheers etiquette, drinking from the bottle, and advice on starting a craft brewery--plus Ben suspects his Fiitbit knows too much, the team tries to recruit players to the Lil’ Bullshitters to win the Brewer’s Ball, and more. 

Ben and Chris talk about the end of the LCBO strike, the best toppings for a hot a dog. unionizing brewery employees, homegrown weed, magazines, and so much more!

On the four year anniversary of the show's launch, Ben and Chris chat about the LCBO strike and Charlie Sheen's fastball plus we take a look back (and listen!) to our very first episode on July 11, 2021 featuring Greg Taylor of Steam Whistle Brewing. 

Ben and Chris welcome Nick Baird and Adil Ahmad to the studio (no, really, there’s a studio now!) to discuss the end of Beerlab! and the brith of Supply and Demand — the duo’s pizza and live entertainment-based rebrand. Plus they talk traditional decoction methods, David Wilcox, hand-selecting hops, constructive criticism for homebrewers, and, for some reason, basic economic principles. 

Ben and Chris chat with Brad Clifford of Clifford Brewing about his early days as a nano-brewer in Toronto and his move to Hamilton, the soon-to-be-cool NOBA district, why he enters — and wins! — so many damn awards, and why he doesn’t actually drink that much porter. Plus: Cliffolini! Charles Grodin cult classics! A barking dog!

Ben welcomes back Ontario craft beer veteran Sam Corbeil and chats about Sawdust City celebrating 10 years of their brewery, the importance of beer awards, why non-alcoholic beer sucks, and complicated, silly beer names — plus they chat John Irving, death row pizza, and Ben pitches his lawn mowing TV show.
