This week Jordan talks with longtime brewer, BJCP Grand Master Judge, Cheshire Valley Brewing Co. founder, and Ontario beer icon Paul Dickey, who has been responsible for creating many a flagship beer for breweries throughout Ontario!

We have two really big talks this time round. First up is an update on the Ontario Craft Brewers/Sam Oosterhoff publicity blunder discussion from last week and then we talk about the great return of Ontario beer institution Bar Volo. Also, Robin's cat Leopold makes a special appearance.

Indie Ale House partnering with Eataly, new and exciting changes for Waterloo Brewing, Broadhead Brewing, and Evergreen Craft Ales, Longslice's new home in the Aviary, and Lost Craft's brewpub announcement are all discussed this episode! We also talk about the massive PR SNAFU done by the Ontario Craft Brewers. It's...oofta, it's bad.
