Robin and Ryan are back after a few months away to kick off season 5! This episode is called Real Talk as the guys wanted to chat about some important issues impacting the craft beer world and broader beverage world in general. 

This episode Robin and Ryan chat about the new drinking guidelines from the Canadian Center on Substance Abuse and Addiction which were released earlier this year. Ask the question "Does Social Media have a negative impact on consumption, and does it promote or even celebrate unhealthy consumption?" 

2023 seems to be the year of the Non Alcoholic options and the guys dive deeper into what may be causing this and some offerings that are out there. 

And finally they talk about the closing of one of the podcasts all time favorite breweries People's Pint and reminisce on the fun times they had visiting the brewery.

This season will bring a new direction to the podcast with a focus on not only craft beer but other topics that are of interest to your hosts. We hope you enjoy the new direction! 

On this episode Ryan and Robin chat about the possibility of the craft beer bubble being ready to burst. With the recent sales, mergers and "partnerships" taking place they question if the time is nigh for the downswing of craft breweries in Ontario.

With the constant increase in costs, a pending recession and interest rate increases they examine whether or not there is sustainability within the industry. Will consumers buy less? Will breweries focus on brewing simple yet quality beers? Will we see less adjuncts with the price increases that are happening?

Tune in to find out their thoughts on all of this and catch up with your hosts!
