Great Barbecue and great beer are a match made in heaven, which makes this episode’s guest, Jordan Sorrenti of Paddy's Barbecue & Brewery, the Barley Belt’s greatest matchmaker.

Our guest on the show this week is Ben Collins of Uprooted Farm. Along with the help of his partner Kait, Ben takes a craft approach to farming, growing food that they’d want to eat, with flavours that take you to times in your life like pulling a carrot out of your grandma’s garden.

This week Bill McKenzie returns to This Pint Has 20 Ounces for a followup interview. On Bill’s last appearance he offered a CEO’s perspective on the brewery’s acquisition by Sleeman, and now having successfully facilitated it and gracefully bowed and out after handing over the proverbial keys to the brewery, he returns to reminisce and reflect on his favourite memories during his time at Wild Rose.

Regulars at the taproom have probably seen our host Nick and his glorious beard before, and this episode we talk to the man responsible for it! Nick Ossais, owner of Marda Loop Barbershop, tells us how cutting hair is in his genetics in this interview recorded live back before social distancing guidelines made the taproom pick-up only.

Andrew Bolinger, founder of The Strength Edge, joins us on This Pint Has 20 Ounces to chat about Calgary’s powerlifting and strongman community and why he founded The Strength Edge as a place for the city’s strongest men and women to get together and train together.

Calgary’s craft brewing industry is often applauded for its strong focus on collaboration and cooperation over competition, which was a massive inspiration for this week’s guest, Byron Brooks of Builders and Brews. Byron tells us of how after being contracted for some construction work at Annex Ale Project he was inspired to create this collaborative spirit into his own industry.

This episode we sit down with one of the longest standing team members at Wild Rose, the head brewer at the AF23 taproom, Mark Kerrigan. As a 15 year veteran and employee #6, Mark has a lot of insight into how the brewery has evolved and gives us an inside look at what’s changed during that time at the brewery and in Calgary’s beer scene at large.

“You can be 14 again, but with a bank account and beer.” This episode Nick and Jonathan feel nostalgic for their teen years when Revival Brewcade’s James Dobbin tells us how Alberta’s smallest craft brewery is combining everything you love about beer and arcades.

It’s your friend when you have no friend at the bar, it’s the local arts and culture magazine you find at every cool place in town… it’s Beatroute Magazine, and this episode we talk with the magazine’s Associate Editor and Founder Brad Simm about the publication’s scrappy beginnings and exciting future.

How does a brewmaster stay fit? If you’re Wild Rose’s brewmaster you stay fit by working with Luke Leimenstoll, founder of Calgary’s Movement U and this week’s guest on the podcast!
