Ben and Chris are joined by Toronto Beer Podcaster, Chris Schryer, to talk about the closure of the city’s beloved People’s Party of Canada rally location and COVID incubator, rant about the price of beer getting too damn high, and pontificate on why people don’t actually give a shit about tasting notes, plus a saucy Valentine’s Day Pell’s Corner and more!

On a very special episode of the podcast, Ben and Chris eschew hosting a guest in order to dive deep on important topics like rec league basketball blunders, American dive bars, the majesty of Michael Biehn, microdosing, Crash Bandicoot, and George R.R. Martin’s famous axe. 

Ben and Chris chat with Susan Michalek and Jeff Manol of Muddy York Brewing and break some news about their relocation to Stouffville, talk about building a community outside of major cities, landlords, lagers, and commercial condos, plus a very special Pell’s Corner brought to you by new sponsors, Teen Vogue. 

Ben and Chris welcome back beleaguered distiller, Buck Tucker, and discuss his new venture, Buck Naked Brewing Company; plus dick pics as beer labels, pushing the Ontario border further north, and why the Brewminati are after him. Featuring Josh Murray. 

Ben and Chris share some new year’s resolutions and answer listeners’ questions including falling off the wagon at Christmas, bringing your mistress to family dinner, and awkward party crashers; plus beer blogging, getting more adventurous with beer (again), and questionable book recommendations. 

Ben chats with Mathew Renda, owner of Boshkung Brewing in Minden, about the journey from beer blogger and attire sales to general manager and now owner of a brewery. Plus TFC, smoked meat for boaters, and weird questions from Chuck Klosterman's Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs. 

The guys chat with Matt Bod, former beertender extrodinaire and current Great Lakes Brewery brewer and distiller about the parallels between craft beer and punk rock, his new woodfire and charcoal-cooking side hustle, and why no one is drinking saisons these days; plus hand sanitizer, beer mythology and becoming famous after your band's music becomes a podcast's theme song. 

Finding themselves guest-less at the last minute, Ben and Chris meet up in Ben’s basement to read totally real questions from their inbox and embark on a meandering journey that takes them from shoplifting olives in Guelph to witnessing historic events, and finding ones calling; plus they unveil new sure-to-return climate-fixing plumber characters.

Ben and Chris talk to Mark Solomon, home brewer and beer writer, about the nuance of representation in charitable beer collabs, the value of beer awards, and drinking culture in Northern Ontario; plus a long, twisted edition of “would you rather” for Pell’s Corner.

Ben chats with Kelly Meyer, author of the book "How Not to Start a Damn Brewery" and host of the podcast of the same name. They talk beer in Texas, the mistakes most brewery owners make, and why he swears he's not bitter about selling his brewery; plus Ben rants about the allegedly impeding demise of The Beer Store and loud cars and a Texan gets quizzed on Canadiana.
