This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, John and Tom discuss one of the oldest breweries in the Ottawa Valley: PERTH BREWERY. We chat a bit about the history of Perth Brewing Company/Perth Brewery before getting into the beers. Up first is the flagship LAST DUEL lager. Next, we 'jump' to EASY AMBER ale. We wrap things off discussing their popular west coast-style IPA, CALYPSO! Along the way we also discuss bad cottage beer cans, smoking Tide sticks, McDonalds Monopoly, Calypso Water Park, and 'lizard milk'. We had a fun time chatting some classic beers.

Next week we return to Edmonton to discuss the celebrated ALLEY KAT BREWING COMPANY!

In the thirteenth edition of the bonus 'COLD SHOTS' series, John discusses a NEIPA with kviek hops (NOTE: NOT pronounced "kiv-ee-ek", but rather like "quike", my bad) called 'Wolverine'. This is produced by Hôtel Roquemont: a popular chalet/pub/restaurant/microbrasserie in St-Raymond (northwest of Quebec City). John talks about how he discovered this beer, some details on the town of St.Raymond and the trail this beer is named after, before drinking and reviewing the beer.

This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, Tom and John discuss a craft brewery from Edmonton that specializes in making good 'dark' beers: OMEN 'Don't Call Me Damien' BREWING! We talk a bit about the brewery before getting into the beers. First up, no need to cry over this beer; it's SPILT MILK stout! Next up is the Dark Souls/Berzerk-esque branded KNIGHT RYE-DER roggenbier (a Euro-style rye beer). Last is the spicy but satisfying EL DIABLO Jalapeno Lime Gose. Along the way we also discuss Tua Tagovailoa, sports betting, and Tom shares a story about drinking spicy beer. Overall, this was a good time, and we enjoyed drinking and chatting over one of the most diverse lineups that we've ever spotlit.

Next week, we are joined by a special guest to discuss an assortment of Ottawa craft beer!

These seltzers consist of three vacation-themed drinks: mango Mai Tai, lime margarita, and watermelon mojito. We sample these beverages and then give our scores. Along the way we also get distracted by Sunday football (particularly, an exciting Ravens-Dolphins shootout!).

We're back next week with more craft beers from Edmonton! See you soon.

On this highly anticipated episode of Domestic Pints ONLY, John and Tom drink and review a lineup of grapefruit radlers. In order: the Ontario-craft WATERLOO, the Austrian import STIEGL, and the macro-produced MOOSHEAD. Before we drink the radlers, John discusses the history of radler beers. Did you know that radlers can be traced back to a lone innkeeper from 1922? We had a fun time running through these half-juice half-beer beverages - expect more radler talk once these are back in season next Spring.

Next week, we return to Sunday Seltzer series to talk the 'Out of Office' Bud Light seltzers!

It's been a busy few weeks - the DPO crew was in Toronto to celebrate John's bachelor party, and a few days later John came down with a case of COVID-19. As a result, we didn't plan a proper episode and instead decided to have a fun discussion over a couple of beers. We start the episode recapping our trip and discussing some of the craft beer we had in Toronto, before chatting about our selected drinks: Tooth and Nail's FORTIFIED imperial stout, and Legend 7's TROPIC ESCAPE Pina Colada Milkshake IPA. We drink the beers and give our ratings. In the final hour of the program, Tom and John talk football and give some fantasy recommendations for each NFL team. 

Next week, we return (god willing) back to drinks, chatting a selection of RADLERS! Stay tuned!
