Toronto Beer Podcast

Back after an accidental break, and rocking a new season, Chris and Mandie talk more about hard rootbeer, awesome summer beer festivals, homebrewing, and just how damn busy they both are.

Summer is clearly upon us as there are dogs barking, awards to discuss, home brewing, is root beer the next big thing, RTDs, and heaps of events.

Chris and Mandie are talking CBC and getting ethical with how they spend their money. Get it in you!

Today, Chris and Mandie talk about all the stuff they've been up to, both drink beer with Sorachi Ace hops (just realized that), their mutual love for The Strumbellas, and lots about good glassware for beer.

Today Mandie and Chris are extra friendly and talkative. Covering home brewing, dog brewing, guerrilla gardening and new beers.

In today's episode, Mandie and Chris talk about their respective holidays, what they're drinking, and why they're sick of people saying Canada lags behind the USA in craft brewing.

Chris and Mandie do a string of non-sponsored advertisements, just because they like things so darn much. Talk about events, freeloaders and actually nice people with charitable requests, then lots on issues contract brewers face.

Featuring our first guest (sort of), big American beers and American stuff, Paddy's patio woes, The Toronto Brewery District, and upcoming stuff.

Today Chris and Mandie are trying not to point fingers, and pausing like Pinter wrote the script. Talking babies, how they spent their holidays, best of 2015, and their good and bad predictions for 2016.

It's Christmas time, and Chris and Mandie are all over it. Talking news around the city, then Christmas traditions, old and new. Also, beer.

Now containing 13% more musical references. Chris has a jazz voice and a minor nipple injury; we talk seasonal beers; the 4 top 3 bars Chris needs to visit; Sight Glass Videos; stupid Alberta; stupid The Beer Store; and Christmas excitement (stuffing! baking! beer festivals!).

In today's episode, Mandie and Chris discuss the weather (seriously); new beers they're digging (and one very old one); traveling; Ballast Point being bought by Constellation; how Left Field develops recepies, how they prioritize business decisions, and advice to aspiring brewers; and Christmas!

Chris and Mandie get all caught up on Cask Days and fried chicken; Chris is not a go-getter; Halloween exploits; we love the Blue Jays; home brewing and the "Kuerig of home brewing"; Chris possibly mixes the worst metaphors in podcast history; Alberta has seriously turned inter-provincial beers sales on their ear through taxation, and Mandie thinks it might be from lobbying by the big guys, and Ch...

Getting back into the swing of things (see what I did there?), Chris and Mandie talk a lot about baseball, voting, the Mill St buyout, ABI in general, the differing values of success, festivals coming up, and a bit more baseball. Check it out!

In today's episode, Mandie and Chris are LIVE ON LOCATION at Beau's Oktoberfest. It is noisy, windy, and they are shouting the hell out of a Blue USB microphone, but it's the usual romp. Fake Norwegians, wicked infections, beer, and the business of running a festival. Get it in you! Prost! Huge thanks to Dine Alone Records for letting us jump on their wifi to upload today's episode.

In today's episode, Mandie and Chris talk about what's happening for both of them, home brewing, the best parts of running a brewery, more on sexism in brewing, their first IPAs (sort of), the LCBO growler fills, and Left Field's NEW SEASONAL BEER! This is also the last episode of season one. We're taking a little break, and will be back with an episode for Toronto Beer Week.

In today's episode, Chris and Mandie talk about recent festivals, another great podcast, a crazy 1990s vintage beer tasting neither of them could legally attend, a list of the 20 best beers in the world, entitlement in the craft beer scene, lots and lots on sexism, both in the world and in the Toronto scene, and their upcoming plans.

We're grumpy today, but we work through it. Talking depression, weddings, drunken poor behaviour, Toronto's Festival of Beer (times like a billion), bros, and upcoming fun and excitement.

In today's (quiet) episode, Chris and Mandie get caught up, talk about Muddy York (they're noisy), Aggregate beer rating sites and using Untappd, their average scores of their favourite IPAs from last episode, all that noise about Left Field, raising kids around beer, and some of what they've got going on. Now quiet down over there.

Chris and Mandie get all caught up, talk more Wrigley, then get into the hops. Are we getting desensitized? What are our favourite IPAs? Then talk some summer time events. Good times had by all!

In today's show, Chris and Mandie get all caught-up and talk about their respective trips; Mandie geeks out on baseball and Chris gets personal about pens; they talk about what they're drinking, what they're loving and the CBAs; *gasp* cloudy beer, "Ontario Pale Ale", and poor craftsmanship, aka "The Gossip Circle", OCB Week and their plans, our FIRST CONTEST, and catching up with @LeftfieldWrigle...

Chris is sick and miserable. Getting caught up, then lots of talk about beer sales, growlers, Chris hates social responsibility, clean up your empties/stuff found in returned bottles, what exactly is "craft", the Molson Indy is The Molson Indy again, more on beer sales, the Left Field day trip to Buffalo, and Chris' trip to Ontario' Southwest.

In the inaugural episode of the TorontoBeerPodcast, Chris and Mandie introduce themselves, talk about their plans for the summer, and things get political.
