  • Episode #197: The Big Blue Wall with Ben Metcalf of Arabella Park | Adjunct Series
    May 15 2025

    Beer bars are one of the most important, and arguably underrated, elements of any thriving craft beer scene, and none have made an impact like Kitchener, ON's Arabella Park. Co-Owner Ben Metcalf joined Cee and Nate to talk about the famous big, blue wall at the bar, their approach to their menu, the value of farmhouse beers, the incredible approach True History takes with their beers, their relationship with Stillwell in Halifax, the impact of the bar in the local scene, promoting that Arabella now sells growler fills, Ben's impeccable tasting notes, the impact of opening up the country for beer sales, bar service vs table service, and an incredibly in-depth conversation about shaving and manscaping. They got into some phenomenal beers: Burdock Monday Micro Saison, True History Vienna Classic, True History Beisl Bier, Wood Brothers Elbows Up NEIPA, Bandit Fly Half NEIPA, and Counterpart Coffee Crisp Roller Oatmeal Stout. This was a gem - cheers!

  • Episode #196: Yeast Lightning with Richard Preiss + Nate Ferguson of Escarpment Labs | Adjunct Series
    Apr 30 2025

    Yeast is arguably the most important ingredient in beer, and it's usually the least recognized, so we brought in the experts to chat about it. Richard and Nate, Co-Founders of Ontario's premier yeast establishment, Escarpment Labs, joined Cee and Nate to get hyper nerdy about yeast and what it exactly is, how yeast is created and how it interacts with the other ingredients in beer, how they came up with their Pink Boots yeast strain, how yeast helps retain haze, how they create a bank of yeast, how non-alcoholic yeast works, their merger with Le Labo in Quebec and the differentiation between the two companies, how they work with Lallemand yeast, why Canadian breweries should use Canadian yeast, how to make Vegemite with yeast, and why breweries should buy professional yeast for their beers. They got into some great beers using their products - Fairweather x BAOS Podcast Purish Kiwi Common, Royal City x Escarpment Labs Luminance Double IPA, Royal City Mark It Zero Non-Alcoholic IPA, and Great Lakes Electric Spritz Hard Seltzer. This was fascinating - cheers!

    Apr 23 2025

    The man who is fighting for his spot for the most guest appearances on BAOS is back to defend his title from Shehan De Silva. Derrick Robertson of Montreal's BreWskey jumped on the pod with Cee and Nate for a deep dive into his thoughts on the various new hop products and the different uses for them (like Hyperboost vs Dynaboost), the American tariff situation and the potential for opening up beer sales across Canada, the importance of water profiles for beer, their 10 year anniversary for the original BreWskey brewpub, how his beers have changed since their contract brewing days, his influence on Zach from Bad Bones, the proper pronunciation of New Zealand hops, how they all drink triple IPAs, and why doing podcasts are great for him to be able to really soak up his beer. They got into a great lineup of BreWskey beers - Regal Mosaic Dry-Hopped Lager, Kijin NEIPA, Shaken, Not Stirred Double IPA, Haze Of The North Double IPA, and Triple Cépage Wine Triple IPA. This was a banger, cheers!

    It's always a pleasure to give flowers to the OG breweries as they paved the way for the industry we all know and love today, so we were stoked to finally get the folks from Steam Whistle (and Beau's) on the pod. President Bromlyn Bethune and Brewmaster Erica McOustra joined Cee and Nate to chat about the Steam Whistle story, why they continue to do one thing really, really well, the expansion to other styles (and the retraction), the acquisition of Beau's and the impact Beau's has had on the craft beer industry in Canada, how they've been able to transition Beau's recipes to the larger Steam Whistle system, their partnership with New Belgium and why they've moved on from that setup, how they've been able to innovate and continue the Beau's brand, and their take on the current tariff situation. We got into a great lineup of beers: Steam Whistle Pilsner, Beau's Lug Tread Lagered Ale, Beau's Juiced AF Hazy IPA, Beau's Lug Lite Light Lager, Beau's Barn Burner Amber Ale, and Beau's Crème Brew-Lée Dessert Stout.

  • Episode #11: The Business Of Throwing A Craft Beer Festival with Erica Campbell (Blood Brothers) | The Business of Beer
    Apr 9 2025
    To celebrate the 10th anniversary of this humble craft beer podcast, we're doing something we've never done before: throwing a beer festival. It's quite the story how it all came about, so we brought in our partner on the project, Erica Campbell, Sales Manager of Blood Brothers Brewing and Co-Founder of the Society of Beer Drinking Ladies, to chat about her illustrious history in the beer industry and voluminous experience throwing events. We then did a deep dive into the genesis of the Get It In Ya Fest concept and the ton of collabs, how we've approached the festival, the importance for us of having minimal wait times for pours and no overcrowding, the way the festival is going to work, the food and entertainment, the types of beer you can expect, and we ran through all 40 (FORTY!) of the collaboration breweries to go into how they all came about. We got into some killer Blood Brothers brews: Shumei IPA, Autopop Cherry Cola Sour, and Paradise Lost (Peach Mango) Sour. This is going to be huge - see y'all at Blood Brothers in Toronto on May 31st! Grab your ticket to the Get It In Ya™ SpecTAPular Beer Festival here: getitinyafest.com

  • Episode #193: Expensive Water with Nick and Carly Brango of Funguys Brewing | Adjunct Series
    Apr 2 2025

    One of our favourite beer scenes on the planet is the glorious state of North Carolina, and this past winter, we were lucky enough to visit twice. On the way down to Florida, we swung by Raleigh, NC, and our first stop was Funguys Brewing, an innovation-driven spot that came highly recommended by friend of the show, Will Cleveland. Cee hung out with Nick and Carly to chat about the North Carolina scene, their homebrew beginnings in Pittsburgh, PA, their love for Mac Miller and their annual dedicated releases, their take on the longevity of different styles, their favourite hops, their fun approach to smoothies and seltzers, why their beers always have a story, and their upcoming seventh anniversary releases. They got into six impeccable Funguys beers - Von Brango Pilsner, Thumbs Up Hazy IPA (Mac Miller Dedication), Spring Cleaning West Coast IPA, Good News Double IPA (Mac Miller Dedication), Bussin' Cool-Ade Inspired Hard Seltzer, and It's On Like DK! Smoothsicle Smoothie Sour. This was a great conversation - cheers!
