Tonight Chris does his interpretation of the #SteamWhistleChallenge with surprising results! (sort of). 3 different takes on a Pilsner beer, and they're all lovely, so we all kicked a goal! Also Godspeed still won.

Such a wonderful pleasure to hang out with my good friend, Mary Beth Keefe to talk about The Granite Brewery's upcoming 30th anniversary, talk open and closed fermentation, life in brewing (as well as managing stress) and just generally enjoying having a beer with somebody I don't live with IN PERSON! It's a long ep, but we both had an absolute ball.

Long one tonight considering there's no guest, but it makes sense, as Chris is having a booty-call with a pair of lovely beers from Godspeed. There's stories, memories, rants, and a PSA about starting breweries. A calm comfortable night to be sure.

Chris is getting all hot and sweaty over an absolutely incredible double IPA from Bellwoods, and after dancing around it for a few minutes, drops the "P" word.... No rugby talk tonight; you're welcome ;)

Chris is drinking an amazing foeder-aged Czech-style Pilsner from his friends over at Indie Alehouse. Also talking reopening, staying safe, and of course: more rugby.

Chris is drinking (glugging if we're honest) this absolutely beautiful pilsner from Amsterdam Brewing, bigging up their 35th anniversary a bit, and talking rugby (and why you and your children should play!).

Chris is sipping a delightful IPA from Rorschach brewing, and talking about how you can observe Canada Day this year, without "celebrating" or "cancelling" (hint: it's not that hard).

Hanging out with my old buddy Jordan, we drink beers from Mascot, chat old times, get really deep in the weeds on taste profile, and generally have a ball hanging out. It's long but it's good!

Bit of a short one tonight, as Chris' brain was melting out of his face (again), but this little ep packs a massive punch with an absolutely gorgeous No Chance With Miranda barrel-aged Saison from Great Lakes. And, of course, the requisite discussion of patio reopening and how wonderful that is.

Tonight Chris is joined by a very reluctant co-host in the form of his dog, Ginger. Becuase tonight he's drinking a Summer Stout from Black Lab Brewing, and needed a canine perspective. Ginger bailed, but Chris LOVED this soft/velvety stout with lovely coffee and chocolate notes. There is also a (potentially semi-bro-y) PSA about the value of exercise. Enjoy!
