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.

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 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.
