Mmmmm, a tall cold one on the patio. Now that's a summer day in Saskatchewan. 

Today's guest is going to talk about the 4 simple ingredients that make Paddock Wood beer a fan favourite. Paddock Wood is Saskatchewan’s first microbrewery and Canada’s indie beer. 

They pride themselves on a unique flavour and refreshing taste. Their pure brews can be found bottled and on-tap in some of the finest independent establishments and beer stores in Canada. You can also stop by the brewery to pick up your own case (or two). We call Saskatchewan home and strive to support local music festivals, artist openings and anything “indie” because well, they hope you will support them. ---

Madhu Kumar was born and raised in India where she received her Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees. Kumar earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Regina with Great Distinction in 2017.   Her oil portraits, paintings of horses, and landscapes have been in juried exhibitions in Ottawa and Regina. 

Her current work is an ongoing series of large-scale paintings on the experience of immigrant women in Canada, and she is involved in David Garneau’s Edmonton based Tawatina Bridge art project.   Madhu has exhibited her work in over thirty solo and group exhibits.  

When asked about her artistic practice, she talks about the power of storytelling to connect and empower us.  When she collaborates with the women who are portrayed in her work, she holds dearly to the values of creating a safe space and solidarity.  It is her hope that the stories will illuminate women’s capabilities, imagination and resilience.
