Toronto Beer Podcast

Chris is sipping a seasonally-appropriate Dark Pumpkin Abbey from Indie Alehouse, and he drops a legit recipe for a heck of a lamb stew. Plus two, count 'em, TWO bits of beer news.

In a special two-part (in one track) midday ep, Chris is reviewing the Bakerstreet and Ginger cannabis-infused beverage from Tweed. It's pretty cool.

Chris is drinking a massive beer from his beloved Left Field Brewery, and he talks A LOT about it. Know about Brettanomyces? You're about to find out.

Chris is back on familiar ground, not just drinking a hazy boi, or a beer from Godspeed, but BOTH! Also some cask days sorrow, a cool way to share beers online, and giving some love to the Mi'kmaq lobster fishing community in NS.

It's a Thanksgiving surprise! In a holiday-induced early record, Chris is sipping a now-classic MacTavish in Memoriam APA from Le Trou du Diable, and reminiscing about the early days of the APA. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Bourbon?! Bourbon! Chris is drinking Basil Hayden's Kentucky Bourbon and so should you! Also some chatting about thanksgiving and such.

Chris is back for a quick little apology ep because he completely forgot to record a new ep yesterday. The good news is he is just sick, but not with covid. The other good news is that Oktoberfest beers rule and you can get some now. Enjoy!

Oh golly this one is big time! Sipping a Limberlost Spontaneous fermented beer from my really good buddies up in Gravenhurst at Sawdust City. Aso doling out tidbits like "chocolate is awesome" and I'm planning your Thanksgiving dinner for you.

Chris is back after his end-of-summer break and is sipping an absolute banger from Whitby's own Little Beasts Brewing, Salem's Lot NEIPA. Also chatting CBAs and back-to-school.

Chris is closing out season 4 on a high note, and sipping on a delightful Laser Show DIPA from Left Field Brewery. He's also lamenting the loss of his brain, which might have dripped out of his head today with all the sweat.

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.
