Hey all, producer John here. Apologies in advance for the ramble-y address, just wanted to get something out in time before the next episode drops.

Topics discussed:

As always, thanks for your listens. I dislike online begging as a rule but even in the context of the podcast episodes I sometimes find it cringe, but it would be cool if you mention us to your friends! Here's to another six months of DPO excellence.

This week on Domestic Pints ONLY we throw on our pastel suit and ties and a pair of Wayfarers as we begin our inaugural Seltzer Sunday episode! We compare two new releases by Pabst Blue Ribbon: PABST BLUE RIBBON STRONG VODKA SODA CLEAR BLUE RAZZ and PABST BLUE RIBBON STRONG VODKA SODA REBEL CITRUS. Stay tuned for more Seltzer Sundays coming your way this summer!

On this week's episode of Domestic Pints ONLY, we do our first brewery deep-dive into a Calgary favourite, a spot that was also featured in our previous episode: Cold Garden Brewing Company. But we aren't going it alone, we're pleased to be joined again by 'Stout' Steve! First we discuss EAST CALGARY LAGER. Next, we ask ourselves: "where is that large automobile? This is not my beautiful house, this is not my beautiful wife." as we consume and chat about THIS MUST BE THE IPA. Finally we end on a unique beer that will be a favourite for those of you with a sweet tooth: CAKEFACE. Lots of fun to be had on this one with some tasty drinks. Is there a brewery in your city that you would like us to do a deep dive on? Reach out to us and let us know!

After a successful stout week, we wanted to indulge in some more delightful chocolate and coffee flavoured dark drinks. ENTER: PORTER WEEK. We spend some time at the start of the episode answering the following questions: what is a porter, and how is a porter different from a stout? We begin by returning to Mill Street and trying out MILL STREET VANILLA PORTER. Would you believe our next selection is actually from a winery? Well, the brewery division of a winery to be exact. It actually has a detailed origin story (see the link in the credits): it's 3 THREADS PORTER by Magnotta Brewery. Finally we end on a unique selection from the Calgary craft scene, THE ALL-NIGHTER CAPPUCCINO PORTER by Cold Garden Beverage Company. If you liked our stout line up, you're sure to enjoy this week's episode

Icy Dry Bois? Dry Icy Bois? Strong Bois? Call them whatever you like! On this week's episode of Domestic Pints ONLY, we're starting the first of many episodes discussing Ice/Dry/Strong variant beers. First up we chat about a surprise hit: MOLSON DRY (5.5 ABV). Next up, Tom shares some  funny stories about an old co-worker, as we drink and review CARLING BLACK ICE (alternatively, CARLING BLACK LABEL ICE or MOLSON ICE). Finally, we return back to an old favourite, who much like a Dragonball-Z villain has powered up into their final form: LABATT BLUE DRY (8.1 ABV). Some of these beers pack a punch - do not forget to drink responsibly!

This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, we mix things up by pivoting away from the usual domestic favourites to instead focus on a specific beer type: stouts! But we aren't going it alone, we're joined by our first guest--and noted stout aficionado-- Steve! With a new guest also comes a tweaked rating system, where we instead focus on the five C's (creamy, cascade, coffee/chocolate, colour, and content). This ep each of us picked a selected craft stout to drink and rate. First up is John, and due to a shipping issue he was unable to use his original choice, so we pivoted to the reliable MILL STREET COBBLESTONE NITRO STOUT. Our second stout comes courtesy of Steve and his hometown of Ponoka, Alberta: COAL PUSHER STOUT (by Siding 14 Brewing Company). Up next is Alex with his unique Calgary choice: GOOD MORNING VIETNAMESE COFFEE STOUT (by Eighty Eight Brewing Company). Tom concludes our ep with a choice out of Edmonton: KODIAK ISLAND CHOCOLATE OATMEAL STOUT ( by Polar Park Brewing Company). With the extra guest added this is our longest episode yet, but if that doesn't dissuade you we think you'll enjoy this eclectic selection of stouts from across the country.

This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, we're going back to college! We've got our letterman jacket on, we've froshed frosh week, we've joined our frat, and we're stocking up on some PRIMO light beers. The beers on the episode are popular with the heavy drinking set. First we return back to Milwaukee, to review OLD MILWAUKEE LIGHT. Next, we get 'stoned by sampling and reviewing some KEYSTONE LIGHT. We conclude the episode by drinking the 'chad' of beers, it's NATURAL (aka 'NATTY') LIGHT. While you might have some bad memories of a painful morning after a college football tailgate, these beers are actually pretty fun to drink and chat about as an older post-grad audience. Enjoy!

What do the beers discussed on this week's episode of Domestic Pints ONLY have in common? Well, two are lagers... but one is a pilsner, so... hmm anyways these bottles and cans are known for their green labelling and design. We begin with a yizner fav: ROLLING ROCK. The next two beers are two of the most popular independently brewed beers in Canada, STEAM WHISTLE PILSNER and MOOSEHEAD LAGER (yes, both of these companies have escaped the clutches of InBev and Miller Coors). Compared to the previous episode, this one was a lot more jovial as we shared a lot of fun history and experiences. Enjoy!

Some episodes are a sprint, and others are a marathon. This week's episode of Domestic Pints ONLY falls into the latter as we struggle our way through some high ABV malt liquor. We start it off with the popular COLT 45, then move on to a pretty unique beer: MICKEY'S. Before we end our long race, we pour one out for the homies and discuss the iconic OLDE ENGLISH 800. While these beers are a bit outside our palate, we did find some positives to talk on, and if you're looking to get lit these might be the beers for you!
