Toronto Beer Podcast

Chris is hanging out with Ben Johnson from the Beer and Bullshit podcast ahead of his return to the digital airwaves later this week. They talk podcasting, beer, the beer scene, and Chris explains why witnessing a child's certain death kind of put him off Bombay Sapphire gin. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP...

Chris is having a delightful dark lager from Rorschach, chatting Six Nations rugby, and singing the praises of his physiotherapist, Katie. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

Chris is comparing the new Sklepnik Old-Style made in Bim's fantastic new 40hL pitch-lined fermenting barrels made by the coopers at Pilsner Urquell against the regular version made in stainless steel tanks. There is also some legit rugby chat. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (do...

Chris is drinking a Biere de Soif from Godspeed Brewery x Brasserie de la Senne, and getting all giddy and excited about the release later this week of Godspeed's Sklepnik from the new Pilsner Urquell pitch-lined barrels they recently acquired. What a week! — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBe...

Chris is getting into a hella hazy boi from Rorscach, Master Status IPA. But unfortunatley due to a dental double-whammy, all this talking really got sore, so it's a bit of a short episode. Also there's a PSA to listen to your dentist. Just sayin. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast...

Chris is finally sensitive enough to tackle this Scottish beauty Ola Dubh from Harviestoun Brewery. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

After a lazy Boxing Day trying to shake yet another winter cold, Chris is in need of something delicious, but not wildly complicated. And this "does what it says on the tin" stout from Bellwoods is just the ticket, even if it probably held more secrets for somebody with a fuller sense of taste/smell. Also there's a great PSA about supporting local business that could be just the NYE rezzy you're l...

Getting into the festive spirit, Chris is sipping a delightful Blackburne Imperial Stout from his good pals over at Left Field. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

We're going way off the map on this one: an imperial stout from a Belgian brewery?! What a way to finish up Beaumont's Belgian Beer Month! Chris grabbed this bottle from 99 Bottles on Kingston Rd and was super stoked with what it turned out to be! — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast...

Continuing in the next logical step in Beaumont's Belgain Beer Month, Chris is getting into an absolute favourite, Rochefort 10. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

Sit down, strap in, and hold on, because this is going to be one heck of a ride. Continuing Belmont's Belgain Beer Month, Chris is unwinding after a pretty crummy day, with a spontaneously fermented beer from the truly delightful folks at Bellwoods, and it's absolutely amazing. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TB...

In honour of Beaumont's Belgian Beer Month, Chris is kicking things off with an absolute legend, La Trappe Tripel. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

Chris is getting festive AF drinking a pumpkin beer and doing the usual Halloween stuff. Get it in you! — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/no-go-go-the-bogeyman TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

Chris is sipping a mind-blowing collab between Godspeed and Czechvar breweries. Mind. Blown. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

Chris is drinking a beauty of a pale ale from his pals at Block 3, and talking about beer plans for the weekend. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

It's a long one, drinking Oktoberfest biers, talking bird cookery, automotives, and (a little) rugby. No PSA! No Events! Drink some beer!

Chris is getting closer and closer to Oktoberfest, and is getting into a big festbier, from Holsten. Also talking cooking steak on the coals, and (as always) rugby. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers Additional music: Robbie Williams TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

Still working towards Oktoberfest, Chris is sipping a Nonbe from Godspeed, getting really chatty in the chat, briefly covering some rugby, and generally killin it. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

Building up towards Oktoberfest, and kicking off the new season in style, Chis is getting into an absolute classic, Gaffel Kolsch! Also teasing a fun new thing: Beer Scouts!

Chris is drinking the beer equivalent of an old woollen sweater, Lone Pine IPA from Sawdust City. It's getting down to the dregs of summer, and nothing works better than a trusty old friend to keep you through those cool evenings around a camp fire or lying on a beach staring at the stars. The big season finale of season 8, I'll be back in your ears the week after labour day. — — — — Theme: Link R...

Chris is sipping on a real beauty from Black Lab to celebrate a very special black lab. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

Chris, who fancies himself a fancy lad, is drinking Fancy Lad, a collab between Rorschach and Robin LeBlanc and Jordan St John of the Ontario Craft Beer Guide (book and podcast). It's delightful, delicious, and so damn good. Also, Chris is topless. There's a few events to discuss, and just a little rugby talk, asking folks to please consider supporting a gofundme for a women's rugby programme in t...

Chris is getting into a hazy IPA, but discovering it to be, not a NEIPA as identified on the can, but much more of a classic West Coast IPA. Then we talk a lot about astronomy, and there's a heavy but hopefully uplifting PSA at the end. And always a little rugby for good measure. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers...

Drinking a crushable summer beer and talking about the rugby summer internationals. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).

Chris is getting reacquainted with an old friend, it's Electro Tonic from Eastbound! Also, some super random stream-of-consciousness rambling, a badly remembered recipe from SheSimmers (https://shesimmers.com/2009/03/how-to-make-thai-peanut-sauce-my-moms.html), and the usual gossip and trickery.
