This week we're back with more seltzers, this time chatting the TRULY PUNCH MIX PACK. We sampled the four flavours: Citrus, Tropical, Fruit and Berry. We spent some time discussing the Truly seltzer brand before digging into the drinks. Along the way we also chatted about: aspartame; codeine; Gen Z smoking; university parties; and John shares his legendary OC Transpo 95 Barrhaven story. We were somewhat mixed on the drinks themselves, but these are definitely a good option for those of you who like your sweeter, fruiter beverages.

Next week we will return to the Edmonton craft beer scene with another brewery lineup!

No Blue Dry 17.1's to get us down! Along the way we also discuss: Season's Pizza; Beyond Brews Bartending; edibles; Ezra Miller's legal troubles; Phil Collins; and we go CROSSFIRE mode by weighing in on the Bud Light controversy.

This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, we are back on the Brewery Spotlight as we check out a 150+ year-old brew pub in the heart of Peterborough: PUBLICAN HOUSE!

Next is the longstanding beer, previously brewered for over 20 years by Kawartha Lakes Brewing and now made by the fine folks at Publican House, it's KLB RASPBERRY WHEAT BEER. Last up is the heavy pale ale, SQUARE NAIL! Along the way we also chat: new car smell; Red Cap; rust belt beers; Corner Gas; and Little Nicky.

This week we're back to our seltzer series, discussing the recently released COORS SELTZER SLUSHIE PACK! We quickly go over the cans before diving into the flavours: CHERRY, ORANGE, and GRAPE respectively. We downed these tasty beverages in near record time, but along the way we discussed: corporate conservation efforts; The Runaways; Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney; artists selling their music catalogues; and we get a special appearance from Bailey. We gotta say, these seltzers live up to the name. Look for the Coors Selzer Slushies at stories across Canada (and probably the U.S., sorry we don't live there).

Next week we will be spotlighting a craft line up from Peterborough, Ontario. Stay tuned!
