    Episode #233: Beer By The Law with Scott Shuler of Hofbräuhaus Buffalo | Adjunct Series

    One of Cee's major bucket list items is to get out to Europe and experience the rich beer heritage firsthand. In the meantime, the next best thing is to hang out at the satellite brewery for Bavaria's Hofbräuhaus just over the border in Buffalo, New York. During our last visit in December, we connected with Braumeister Scott Shuler for a tour, which of course turned into a podcast. Scott and Cee chatted about their unique 450+ year history, why it's government-owned and Bavarian laws apply to Hofbräu beers anywhere in the world, the arrangement between Munich and the satellite locations to brew their classic beer in very specific ways, the freedom Scott has with other related seasonal beers, why altering the water profile breaches the German Purity Law of 1516, his eclectic beer history from Tampa to Buffalo, the impeccable and authentically German food program at the brewery, and why he'd love a trip out to Bavaria. They got into five crowlers straight from Buffalo: Hofbräu Original Premium Lager, Hofbräu Münchner Weisse, Dunkel, Hofbräu Schwarzbier, and Hofbräu Doppelbock. This was a fascinating convo - cheers!

    Episode #232: Taste Makers with Alexander Diamandas of Yakima Chief Hops | Adjunct Series

    While we talk about hops on essentially every episode, we rarely get to do a deep dive into the topic with someone who actually works in the field (get it? field? hop field? ha). Alex Diamandas of Yakima Chief Hops joined Cee and Nate to chat about his transition from home brewing to professional brewer to hop slanger, the big hack of Idaho 7 in the whirlpool, how hop extracts are actually made and the fundamental differences between Dynaboost and Hyperboost, how the HBC program works to transition new hops from the farm to the market, how you can add hops to the mash for a unique flavour, the marketing value of putting the hops on the label, how they're the only hop vendors globally that are grower-owned, how hop selection works, why harvest is the funnest and busiest time of the year, the new Cryo Fresh product for fresh hops, and the tariff situation along with the Canadian warehouse. The beers for this episode all featured Yakima Chief Hops, and all of the Town beers were supplied by Jeff Talmey of Town: Town Square Wheels Hazy IPA, Fairweather High Grade NEIPA, Town Better Days West Coast IPA, Slake Slow Slow NEIPA, Sawdust City Lone Pine West Coast IPA, Town Neon Trees Hazy IPA, Town Motel Royalty Hazy IPA, and Town Double Wheels Double NEIPA.

    Episode #231: The Third Space with Colin and Stephanie VanderMeulen of Dune Hopper | Adjunct Series

    From a strong start that landed them New Brewery of the Year for 2024, to now clearly making it inside our annual Top 10 Breweries in Ontario for 2025, Dune Hopper is going from strength to strength. Co-Founders Colin and Steph joined Cee and Nate to chat about what's been happening since their last appearance on the pod, the importance of collabs and how they can help grow the presence of a brand, how their community rallies around them during the slower months, how they do "the sofa test", how they sour beer with yoghurt, what it means to them to have made the BAOS lists two years in a row, their love of animals, what's going on in The County with all the incredible breweries, Colin's travels for beer, and some of their favourite beers that they brew. They all got into seven killer Dune Hopper beers - Drift Light Pale Lager, Tent Pitcher Craft Lager, Fox Trot Hazy IPA, Solo Trip - Riwaka Single Hop Hazy IPA, Adventure Blueberry Cheesecake Pastry Sour, Wild Life Czech-Style Dark Lager collaboration with Pierced Mug, and Raspberry Moon Pastry Stout.

    Episode #230: Liquid Is King with Conor Begley of Fathers Brewing | Adjunct Series

    Northern California's Fathers Brewing has only been on the scene for less than 6 months, and is already making a splash. Co-Founder Conor Begley joined Cee to chat about his looping journey from software to beer and back again, their plans to grow the brand, why they decided on making organic, clean beer, why bottles are superior to cans, their lab reports that break down the insane amounts of toxins like arsenic and microplastics in most beers, his random meeting with the king of craft beer Jim Koch (of Samuel Adams), why business is a fun game to him, how they currently sell their beer and the move into a distribution partnership, the rules of shipping beer, how they met their brewer, where they plan to take the company, their unique approach to social media (and how they ship free beer to anyone who wants to try it if they follow them on Instagram!), and how they like to work with creators. They got into the two beers from Fathers - their Clean American Light Lager, and their Clean American Lager. This was shorter than usual but a banger of a chat - cheers!

    Episode #229: Love The View, Love The Beer with Guillaume Savard of Microbrasserie Le Ketch | Adjunct Series

    For the first interview pod with Nate back in the co-host chair, we had to time it so it was with one of our favourite breweries in the province of Quebec. Guillaume Savard of Le Ketch joined Cee and Nate to catch up on what's been happening the last couple of years, their taproom and patio improvements, how Eggers Hops changes the names of their hop varieties and Guillaume's love of NZ hops, the different styles that they're expanding into (including some nano beers), why they use local honey in basically all of their beers, their insane volume of collabs, why Guillaume travels so much to grow the brand, his experience in Europe and the response to his brews, and their festivals in the US. We got into four killer Le Ketch brews: Easy New Zealand Lager, Dock 139 NEIPA with Freestyle Nectaron, Oscar Dry Stout, and Dock 137 Triple IPA with Citra, Eggers Lily (Riwaka) and Nelson Sauvin.
