Domestic Pints ONLY Domestic Pints ONLY

Sorry for the late episode: this was scheduled to drop last Thursday but due to some technical difficulties it was not uploaded and instead stuck in limbo. To save time, this will be a short blurb: this week we did our eighth entry in the stout series, running through selections from Western Canada: Railyard Brewing's NITRO STOUT; Old Yale's BROWN SUGAR OAT STOUT; and Town Square's RED VELVET RED PASTRY STOUT. We chatted about lots of things along the way, including: 90s basketball, Ed Sullivan, eating candy in the 1910s, and other stuff.

We'll be back shortly for our 'back of the fridge' episode!

After a lengthy period of time away, Domestic Pints ONLY is BACK to discuss a lineup of beers from a popular brewpub chain: 3 BRASSEURS. Did you know that 3 Brasseurs is from France? We talk about the history of this chain, and our own experiences going there at the Ottawa locations. We profiled a list of their available beers: White, Blonde, and IPA. Along the way we also discussed our recent vacation to Toronto, and our experience visiting their breweries (yes, we FINALLY went to Henderson!); Footloose; moaning; Jim (who knows you?); and IPA snobs. It was nice to hang out again after many weeks away.

We'll be back shortly for our next stout week episode!

Happy Cinco De Mayo! To celebrate this beloved Mexican holiday, we decided to profile some long awaited Mexican beers. First up is the classic CORONA! Following that is the more recently popular MODELO. We wrap things up with discussing a most interesting beer: DOS EQUIS! Along the way we chatted about: beer merch; Tom's experience in Mexico; Modelo stories; almost throwing up at the SkyDome; and 2000s beer marketing. There were all beers we were familiar with, so we had a lot of fun talking about our own experiences with these beverages.

We'll be back in a couple of weeks to discuss a lineup from an Ontario/Quebec brewup!

This week we tackle a topic we've considered for sometime: MIKE'S HARD LEMONADE. We discuss this drink's origins and our own memories of the branding around this drink (along with our experiences). We then move to sampling the drinks from the mixed variety pack: Lemon, Lime, Black Cherry, and Cranberry. Along the way we chatted: "alcohol guy"; nostalgic branding; Tuscan Lemonade; banned-in-Canada dyes; Chuck Berry; Yoko Ono; Beatles' 1; A Day in the Life; brand names used as product names; and the recent solar eclipse.

We'll be back next with a craft lineup of some kind.

This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, John and Tom returned back from vacation and felt like clearing through some backlog, so we compiled some random beers we had in our collection to see which one would be this week's winner. First up is the selection from Dominion City: CIVIC PILSNER. Next up is a selection brewed in partnership with Spearhead Brewery and the Society of Beer Drinking Ladies: CHERRY DARK LAGER. The last selection is one from an old favourite, Cowbell Brewing Co., called JUICED SEAGULL. Outside of the beers, we also discussed our recent trip to Winnipeg and our experiences with their craft beer scene. We also discussed: Sasha Baron Cohen's divorce; organic snacks; coca cola on draught; I Think You Should Leave; and piss drinking.

We'll be back next week with most likely another seltzer series.

It's been a while since we last discussed seltzers, so we decided to kick off the emergent 2024 seltzer season by profiling the new tequila soda mixed pack by Cottage Springs Beverage Co. This box features four flavours: Pineapple, Grapefruit, Lime, and Mango. Along the way we also discussed: The Simpsons; Honey We Shrunk Ourselves; bad snacks; road beers; the upcoming NFL season and some recent changes on our teams; Kawhi Leonard; banned in Canada food dyes; and Tom also discussed his recent trip to the Alberta Beer Festival (shout out to One For The Road Brewing Co.)

We'll be back following the Easter holidays with another craft beer lineup.
