The craft beer scene in Canada is still relatively young. "I'd say they're about where the States were in the early 2000's," is how Mike Wayne describes it. And he would know. After stints at Sam Adams and the Christian Moerlein Brewing Company in Cincinnati, Mike is now the brewmaster at Boomstick Brewing in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. In addition to the Canadian craft beer scene, this episode delves into how including the word "bitter" in a beer's name or description affects sales and how the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were originally created as an instrument of colonial control over the indigenous population.
