We start off with the BERSERKER BLONDE ale. Next up is the lip smacking PINBALL WIZARD raspberry sour. Lastly, we enjoy the ELECTRIC REAPER IPA. Along the way we discuss: The Who; King Diamond; Madeline; Small Soldiers; doing impressions; Popular Mechanics for Kids; and downloading mislabeled songs off Limewire.

Welcome to 2024! On this week's episode of Domestic Pints ONLY, we were happy to be joined by Curtis (John's co-host of The Seat Struck Movie Podcast), making his long awaited return. For this episode, we checked back on COLLECTIVE ARTS BREWING to discuss another lineup of tasty beverages. First up was the super low ABV 'BEYOND REASON' micro IPA. Next up was the optimal breakfast beer, the DAILY FORECAST: MIMOSA. Last was more domestic-styled COLLECTIVE LAGER. Along the way, Curtis and John recapped their night at House of Targ; discussed goldfish as pets; talked about mimosas; and had a brief chat on farting. We are men of multitudes.

Stay tuned for another episode coming next week (including a bonus solo ep that will be dropping soon)!

Seasons greetings! On this special holiday episode, we decided to honour college students around the nation who are having their post-exam parties, cleaning up their pantries and fridges as they prepare to move, and discovering a mix of random beers. Today we profile three random drinks: PABST BLUE RIBBON LIGHT; BUD LIGHT MANGO; and lastly the PABST GROOVY LEMON STRONG ICED TEA. Along the way we chatted a bit about: our favourite Christmas songs; washing hats; Kid Rock ending his Bud Light boycott; 90s Batman movies; a quick rant about seltzers; Alex Jones; and DPOs proximity in the culture war.

This may be out last episode before the year ends. On that note, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy the holidays, we will be back soon with a special (and familiar) guest for another Ontario craft lineup

To be completely honest, the impetus for doing this episode was a desire to clear up our backlog. So for this week's Domestic Pints ONLY, John and Tom discuss a series of random craft lager—some of which have been in our possession for a couple of years. First up is the 100th MERIDIAN AMBER LAGER by Mill Street. Next up LONGHORN LAGER from Uxbridge, Ontario. The last item is the COFFEE LAGER by Sidelaunch Brewing Company (which as of this recording is currently unavailable to purchase, but keep your eyes open). Along the way we chat about: Christmas shopping; The Tragically Hip-Mill Street lawsuit; $10 pitchers of beer at college bars; Toronto slang; cannabus-induced paranoia; and pelicans. While we went into this episode with some apprehension, we left pleasantly surprised.

Next episode will be either an Alberta beer lineup... or another backlog episode. Stay tuned!

After yet another short hiatus (sorry, John was on vacation), Domestic Pints ONLY is back to discuss another lineup from TOWN SQUARE BREWING CO. It's almost been one year since we last profiled them, and in that year our co-host Tom has moved to a neighbourhood much closer to their brew pub, so we talk a bit about Tom's experiences going to the brewery. Our lineup this week starts with the reliable MOVING DAY LAGER. Next one up is the unique and smoky rauchbier PRAIRIE FIRE. Last is a beer released via partnership with Edmonton's The Tea Lady: the PEACH SANGRIA WHITE TEA SOUR. Along the way we chatted about: Halloween; overalls; engineers; the song 'Get Low'; craft beer in NYC; junior chicken vs. McChicken; Pokemon; Zyn; and tasteless tattoos. We had a fun time catching up, and look forward to sampling some more TOWN SQUARE beers in the future.

Next episode will be focusing on the Ottawa Valley brewery: CALABOGIE BREWING CO.

Next, we run through the lineup. We hit the road with the MX287 cerveza. Up next is lagered ale HUMILITY. Lastly, we wrap with the blonde ale BIRD DOG. Tom and John needed some time to catch up so along the way we chatted about a lot of stuff: Thanksgiving, Chats Falls and the mystery of the solar wheel (see the show notes below); Alan Jackson and Reba McEntire; a BDSM-themed brewery; John's Kingston story; and getting cat-called in a positive manner.
