Chris is sipping on another (!) Black is Beautiful stout, this time from a rising star in his books, The Second Wedge Brewing in Uxbridge Ontario. Also some chatter about great things coming out of Godspeed and the usual exhortations to take care of each other.

Chris is drinking the absolutely EPIC Black is Beautiful stout from his friends at The Granite Brewery, and honestly doesn't really want to podcast about it. Just drink it. Then drink 4 more. This beer is BONKERS!

Chris is sipping a lovely brew from The Second Wedge Brewing Co. in Uxbridge ON, and giving big love to their wonderful pup Sadie who passed away last week, but who was the catalyst to clarifying the rules around dogs in breweries (they're allowed!), also lamenting missed beer festivals, and giving a PSA on where your koi should be (it's not in the lake).

Chris couldn't lay hands on another Black is Beautiful beer this week, but decided to grab a beer supporting the Society of Beer Drinking Ladies, a decidedly inclusive crew, and produced by Henderson Brewing. This session IPA is actually a bit more complex than Chris was expecting.

It's too damn hot for a shirt, but Chris is back and getting into his first of the Black is Beautiful beers. This one is a lovely little 4.4% "summer stout" from Black Lab brewing. Then conversation moves to feeling stuck or rudderless in the current pandemic world, and what he's been doing to try to alleviate some of that darkness.

Chris is sipping on a massive IPA No 13 from Collect Arts Brewing, talking about the Black is Beautiful beer project, and giving some love to Ben Johnson who also just started a pod.

Chris is sipping a Woodhouse IPA, which he often enjoys at Wolfpack and Arrows games, which gets him talking rugby.

Chris is drinking a delcious Ernest Cider, who are donating $0.10 from every can sold to Rainbow Railroad. He talks cider, pride, and a few mostly coherent tangents.

Chris is drinking this tight little nano IPA from Muskoka which supports Get REAL and celebrates pride, then talks about why pride is important, especially right now.

Chris is absolutely LOVING this first packaged barrel-aged beer from Godspeed brewery, and also discussing how to be a better person in this very complicated world we find ourselves.
