Katy (@klwatts) is joined by Brian Papineau (@bryehndotnet) and Allie MacAlister (@alliemackie / http://alliemackie.com/) to talk about the beers that have helped shaped Canada's brewing traditions.

Show Notes:

• Have you seen the Steam Whistle fleet?
• Do you remember this commercial?
• I'm all about the cute elephant videos - seriously.
• I would totally scan my passport for a Canadian.
• Alpine Lager has a pretty amazing history - grab a can and enjoy this read.
