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. This was a gem - cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

Episode #211: Get To Know The Beer with Jordan Pollock and Jimmy Hildreth of Meier's Creek Brewery | Adjunct Series

Upstate New York is arguably one of the most exciting craft beer scenes in the US, with tons of breweries across the state pumping out brews that attract thirsty drinkers in droves. One such brewery is Meier's Creek, with a gorgeous farmhouse brewery in Cazenovia, NY and a fun city location at Inner Harbor in Syracuse, NY. Director of Brewing Operations & Sales Jordan Pollock and Head Brewer Jimmy Hildreth joined Cee to chat about their storied craft beer histories, how the brewery started its life as Empire Brewing and the subsequent purchase that transformed it into Meier's Creek, their dedication to their flagships and how they get to know their beers, all things Oktoberfest, Jimmy's excitement around their haze program and where they plan to take it, the state of the industry in New York, how their environment plays into their products, and their upcoming brewery in Lake Placid, NY. They got into six Meier's Creek bangers - Floatin' On By Pilsner, Oktoberfest Festbier, Peakfinder NEIPA, Way Over Yonder West Coast IPA, Velvet Fog Hazy IPA, and Berry Man Fruited Sour.

Episode #142 | You're Lucky We Turned Up | Lauryn Hill Wildin' Again, J. Cole x Lil Yachty Podcast, Best Decade For Hip Hop?, Doja Cat Viral Again

Kicking off Notion's birthday week with a pod, the fellas get into how YouTube AdSense revenue works, Halloween 2023, Lauryn Hill said we're lucky she even turns up to the gigs she books, Doja Cat went viral for a ridiculous video, they discussed what the best decade in Hip Hop was, the new Megan Thee Stallion video "Cobra", The Kid Mero's new podcast Victory Light, and they went really in-depth into the nuances of J. Cole and Lil' Yachty's conversation about new rappers, "fake" rules, and track and field analogies on "A Safe Space" podcast. Less problematic than usual, thankfully. Bless.

Episode #74 | RIP Virgil Abloh | Drake + Kanye Reunion, 2022 GRAMMY Nominations

We woke up on Sunday November 28th to the news of Virgil Abloh's passing, and had to dedicate the episode to one of the most influential members of the culture of our era. Alongside showing love to a man who changed the game in so many industries, we touched on Drake and Kanye West's reunion at a party in Toronto, we ran through the R&B and Hip Hop GRAMMY nominations for 2022, and we had to make the call who was the most influential out of J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, The Creator and A$AP Rocky. RIP Virgil. ICYMI: Cee - I Got Next ft.

Episode #226: Top 10 Breweries in Ontario for 2025 | Adjunct Series

The second of our two biggest and fave podcasts of the year, Cee and Nate sat down to celebrate Ontario craft beer in 2025. It's always super dope to reflect on the year that was - we talked about some of our favourite Ontario experiences, beers and taprooms. We also showed extra love via the awards, including Hidden Gem, Glassware, Community, Gone But Not Forgotten, and the coveted Best New Brewery. Just like 2024, we leveraged the points system - #1 gets 10 points, #2 gets 9 points, etc. We've enjoyed having a new Brewery of the Year for each Top 10 to date, and we're stoked to continue the run. We say it every year, but 2025 was the hardest batch of decisions to date - it's safe to say that Ontario craft beer has never been better. Let us know if there are breweries we need to check for in 2026. Cheers to Ontario beer! 🍺 BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

During our mid-summer trip to Michigan to cover the 20th Anniversary MI Summer Beer Festival, we figured we should connect with a few local breweries. Stephen and Jason from Detroit's Batch Brewing were kind enough to hang out and ply us with some of their phenomenal and extremely unique beers, while discussing the Detroit/Michigan beer scene. Beers Reviewed: Batch Pale Wise, Batch Unrequited, Batch Stoan Boans, Batch Requited, Batch Candy Flip, Batch Second To Last Word, Batch Strawberry Kolsch Slushie.

Episode #6: What If The Beer Sucks? with Michael Gray (Gather Brewery & Glassworks) + Alexander Chramow (Lovebird Snack Club) | The Business of Beer

Independent bottle shops were one of the biggest wins from the pandemic for Ontario craft beer drinkers, and in this latest episode of The Business of Beer, we catch up with two bottle shops x contract breweries that approached it completely differently. Michael of Gather Brewery & Glassworks and Alexander of Lovebird Snack Club joined Cee and Nate to chat about the logistics and challenges of opening a bottle shop in Ontario, why it's so difficult to maneuver around the laws, the benefits and downsides of both approaches (starting a contract brewery then a bottleshop vs starting a bottleshop then a contract brewery), the limitations of contract brewing, working with the LCBO, the bureaucracy of alcohol sales in Ontario, how it works with licensees, and their future plans for their beers. The fellas delivered a killer lineup of crispies for the pod: Lovebird Good Things Rice Lager, Gather Dam Good Lager American Lager, Lovebird x Emmer's Proof Sourdough Helles Lager, and Gather Big Pants Pilsner Czech-style Pilsner.

Episode #1: Can I Get A Flight? with Caitlyn Whalen (Town Brewery) + Jamie Brash (Fine Balance) | The Business of Beer

Welcome to our brand new season, The Business of Beer! This whole thing started in early 2024 when Cee and Tiff did a pod focused on why so many craft breweries are closing, and that led to a whole slew of episodes focused on varying aspects of the craft beer industry. These episodes became so popular with guests reaching out to be on the pod to not talk about their own brewery that the team figured it'd make more sense to kick off a dedicated season. We're setting it off with two phenomenal taproom managers - Caitlyn of Town Brewery and Jamie of Fine Balance joined Cee and Nate to get into the misconceptions of what taproom managers actually do, the pricing of retail beer, changing consumer habits in the taproom, the popularity and importance of new releases vs flagships, taproom challenges, the value of merch for a brewery, hospitality and the value of great service, Google reviews and the Untappd effect on breweries. They cracked a series of killer brews - Town Square Wheels Hazy IPA, Town Easy Tiger Non-Alcoholic Lager, Fine Balance Trailhead American Pale Ale, Fine Balance Spicy Water (Raspberry), Town Hot Knives Hazy DIPA, Town Local Hero Non-Alcoholic IPA, Fine Balance x Slake Mountview Farmhouse, and Fine Balance Spicy Water (Peach). This was a brilliant way to launch a new series - enjoy! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

Episode #162: Quincy Bones with Steve "Bebo" Pilotto and Chris Steininger of Third Moon Brewing + Nathan Lefebvre of NathanDoesBeer | Adjunct Series

The most epic podcast of all time was our first episode with (arguably) the most hyped brewery in Ontario, Third Moon, back in October of 2020. That episode came in at around 4 hours and 40 minutes, and Co-Founder Chris gave us a memorable tour of his incredible beer basement. We finally had them back on, and you already know we had to break some records. Landing at just over 5 hours, Bebo and Chris hung out with Cee and Nate to catch up on all things Third Moon since 2020, they dug into some newer styles that they've been doing (lagers, smoothies), their brewery and team expansion, how their barrel program has grown, the insane power of Untappd over the craft beer business, their approach to packaging, and they touched on the Ontario beer taxation issue. They cracked six absolute gems - Kills Pilsner, Rise Pale Ale, Midnight Kills Dark Lager, Love Lies Bleeding (Bulldog Comet), Barrel-Aged Kills (2023), and Quintuple Bone Tree IPA, fondly known as Quincy Bones. Epic af as always - we hope you make it through! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

Episode #160: The Cost Of Brewing Craft Beer with Troy Baxter of Badlands Brewing + Tiffany Alexis of LiquidxHappiness / High Season Co. | Adjunct Series

This episode was a milestone in a bunch of ways - it's the highest podcast episode number we've gotten to ever; it's the first in-person pod we've done in the Adjunct Series; and it was the first time a brewer came to our home for a chat. Love it. Troy Baxter of Badlands hung out with Cee and Tiff to talk about everything surrounding the costs of craft beer, including the hop and grain harvest issues, why beer prices rarely move, big beer costs vs craft costs, why some beers cost more than others, how inflation has affected beer, Ontario vs Alberta tax rates, beer sales over the years, and some deeper finance talk around CPI, economics and money supply. They got into some of Troy's home-roasted Brazillian coffee beans via Morning Roast, along with two Badlands beers - Badlands Pils and Bike Tree (2024). This was an extremely valuable pod - cheers!
