Toronto Beer Podcast

In this total blast from the past, Chris is hanging out with Mandie, former co-host of the pod, catching up on all things Left Field Brewery, pandemic beer making, seltzer, and the usual amount of two friends just hanging out.

Back to basics with this beauty from Left Field, West Coast Swing IPA. A big assertively hoppy west coast IPA that just does all the things right. Also, I think you should have a zoom-based beer or wine tasting with friends. What is it, 2020?!

Flipping the script tonight, with a boi that is neither crispi nor hazi. It's Old Muddee from Muddy York, their version of a classic American Lager. Also the usual covid-based chatter, a new reverse advertisement or whatever it is I'm doing, and a report on our precious little doggy, Ginger.

Just like JC, Chris is back and sipping an absolute classic from Godspeed Brewery, thier Ochame IPA with green tea. Also the (now usual) covid-ranting. And new for season 6: this episode brought you Muddy York Brewing, the first in at least one reverse sponsorships.

Chris is briefly joined by the cutest, quietest co-host yet: his new adopted pup Ginger! Then it's time to sip a beauty NEIPA from Collective Arts, rant about Breed-specific (haha0 Legistlation, and sign off till after Easter.

Chris finally managed to grab a pair of the Godspeed Old-style Pilsner finsihed two ways (steel and wood), so tonight we're comparing them, then having a good old rant about St Patrick's day.

Chris is sipping a spicy beer, and eating spicy sauce. ALso talking International Woman's Day, and railing against the stupid racism of Silversmith Brewery, and their total non-apology.

Tonight Chris is joined by Justin and Paul from Storm Stayed Brewing in London. They talk about a few different brews, the brewery, life in London, and plenty of funny stories and banter.

Chris is sipping a delightful Fallow Year Ontario Lager from Avling Brewery, and talking home delivery, snofas, babies, and rugby. What more could you want?!

Chris is drinking an absolutely delicious Jelly King with Raspberry and Blackberry from Bellwoods brewery, talking about colour names, and also giving some insights into fasting, whether you're a spiritual person, or just somebody looking to learn another language.

Long one tonight, in this pre-recorded ep, Chris hangs out with two of his old friends, Troy and Fabian from Great Lakes. They talk about their roles at the company, the new brew pub downtown, the brewery's 34th anniversary, and life and brewing in pandemic times.

Tonight, Chris is sipping a delightful hazy IPA (albeit a low abv one) from Nickel Brook, and talking a little rugby, Black History Month, and generally having a time.

I had an absolute ball hanging out with Kevin Freer, of Block 3 Brewing. Talking lots about his beers, and beers in general, and also music, BBQ, and some other fun stuff. It was a long one, but I could have talked to him for hours!

Not an ideal night for recording an ep, but sometimes you just need to soldier on. Sipping an absolutely fantastic pale ale from the brand-new Red Tape Brewery, but also talking about losing a beloved friend. Legit content warning: there's talk about depression, mental illness, and suicide.

Chris is really tired, but here and ready to rawk. Tonight it's a can of the new Besuto English Best bitter from Godspeed, which is hella tight. Also, lots of sleepy silliness.

Tonight I'm super honoured to be joined by Dan Moor, former captain of the Toronto Arrows Rugby Club. I'm drinking a Lineout Lager by Indie Alehouse (in partnership with the Arrows), and he's sipping a Lone Wolf IPA from Fernie Brewing Co. We talk a bit about beer then a lot about rugby and generally have a wonderful time. Apologies for the sound quality: Zoom compresses the hell out of their audi...

Chris is drinking a delightful little sasion/wine hybrid from Indie Alehouse, and also giving their "Nasty Sauce" hot sauce a spin. Both are available in their bottle shop right now.

Chris sits down with one of the beer industry's most beloved people: George Eagleson from Niagara College Teaching Brewery. They talk a lot about George's long and storied brewing past, what his gig is like as a professor, their own amazing past, and generally have a ball. However you celebrate this holiday season, have a great one filled with lots of love, and a reasonable volume of beer!

Chris is drinking one of the nicest beers he's had in a whole long while, Baldr from Little Beasts! ALso lots of holiday chatter, and don't forget: next week will feature a truly amazing gift from Toronto Beer Podcast.

In this bonkers episode, Chris drinks the delightful Spice Factory winter warmer from Second Wedge Brewing, then samples the Spice Factory hot sauce made by Hurtberry Farm using the aforementioned beer in the recipe. Things get a little crazy.

Chris is drinking (beta-testing?!) this beauty Boarding Pass HBC630 from Great Lakes, talking single-hop/test-beers, and also bigging-up Little Beasts (again!).

This ep is 30% off! In this mid-week Black Friday event, Chris is sipping a delightful Akimbo Pastry Stout from Storm Stayed Brewing. He also curses out (literally, CW) Adamson BBQ, and explains what a good Black Friday looks like to him.

Chris is drinking an absolutely bonkers imperial sour from Storm Stayed Brewing, and giving the DL on more out-of-area-in-area-beer-delivery schemes!

Chris is sipping an absolute gem from Left Field Brewery, 10 Cent Beer Night DIPA. Also mourning the demise of his beloved Toronto Wolfpack, sharing a funny drunken story of his own "10 Cent Beer Night" and getting excited for a beer delivery from Storm Stayed Brewing out of London Ontario.

A short ep, but a good one, sipping on a Freakshow Crush Hazy IPA from Flying Monkeys Brewery, and talking about Thai food.
