Chris is getting into an unexpected homage, and that's a-okay! It's Kawasemi from Godspeed Brewery, and it's a delightful snappy little lager. And tonight's PSA is that if you don't like the rugby talk on this podcast, you're really not going to like the next two months. Because it's RUGBY WORLD CUP!!!— — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Brosh…

Chris is welcoming the cooler evenings with a massive warming barley wine from his good pals at Great Lakes, NOT Sawdust City (though they're awesome too), like his concussed brain totally mistook for most of the first part of this episode. Apologies, Great Lakes, concussions are a real thing, and aren't cool. Which is why today's PSA is all about …

Chris is getting into a seriously funky masterpiece, Limberlost Pomme from Sawdust City. A tart and funk-forward beer/cider hybrid.— — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Broshttps://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothersTBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).…

Chris and Jordan St John sit down to drink PBR, discuss lagers, then trail off into stories of high school band, and whatever else catches their fancy.

We might have missed last week, but this ep is like 2.7x the norm, so don't worry: we're ahead! Sipping the sublime Karma Simcoe from Great Lakes Brewery, then going on a serious tear about bud light, trans rights, and the idiocy of craft breweries serving bud light (yes I'm talking about you Rhythm and Brews).— — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Cur…

In honour of getting mentioned not once, but twice, on the most recent ep of Beer and Bull$hit, Chris is dedicating this ep to his good buddy, Ben Johnson.

Chris is getting into it for the last ep of the season before a break that will include St Patrick's Day; a good day for a stout. Sipping a Kuro Nitro Dry Stout from Godspeed, and laying down some good ground rules for celebrating the patron saint of Cote D'Ivoire. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Broshttps://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com…

Chris is hanging out with Ben Johnson from the Beer and Bullshit podcast ahead of his return to the digital airwaves later this week.

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 Broshttps://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we…

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 Broshttps://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-c…

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

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 …

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 Broshttps://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothersTBP 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.

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

Chris is getting closer and closer to Oktoberfest, and is getting into a big festbier, from Holsten.

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!بقلم Chris Schryer

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 ear…

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 suppor…

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 Broshttps://thecurriebrother…

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. Electro Tonic: https://eastboundbeer.com/products/ele…

It's a spirit night on the Toronto Beer Podcast, enjoying a Granny's Gin from Last Mountain Distillery, the pride of Lumsden SK. Also TWO big PSA's to keep you all being awesome people.بقلم Chris Schryer

Chris is drinking a delightful IPA from Rorschach Brewing, but discovering he's completely lost his sense of taste..... Ominous..... Anyway, then he goes on a good long rant about Pride and Rainbow-washing. It's a good one.بقلم Chris Schryer

Chris is testing the limits of his luck tonight, drinking a 5+ year old bottle of homebrew..... After discovering it was (expectedly) not awesome, another was tried. And failed. But don't let that stop you! Summer is a great time to get into homebrewing. Chris gives some good places to start out, including Toronto Brewing: https://torontobrewing.ca…
