    Episode #250: Lick A Tree, Bite A Grapefruit: LCBO West Coast IPAs | Adjunct Series

    The West Coast and American IPA has had a resurgence this decade, and it's an exciting time to be a fan of clear and piney India Pale Ales. Cee and Nate made a list, headed out to respective LCBO stores in Hamilton and Ottawa, and grabbed a bunch of readily available West Coast and American IPAs. While crushing the beers, they got into the actual WC resurgence as a pendulum swing to the over-abundance of hazy IPAs, how many breweries are now introducing a West Coast IPA as a SKU in the LCBO (when traditionally it had mostly been the OG breweries), the difference in availability between stores and regions, the vast variety of approaches within the umbrella of both West Coast and American IPAs, the popularity of those weird social media skits about how gross IPAs are, the brands who have stood the test of time and how they got their longevity, and the evolution of the style into the Modern WCIPA (less malty, more hoppy, more approachable). They got into a slew of LCBO Westies between them: Nickel Brook Head Stock, Bellwoods Pig, Burdock Bears Pale Ale, Sawdust City Lone Pine, Amsterdam Bone Shaker, Cameron's Resin Rodeo, Bellwoods West of the Moon collaboration with Dominion City, Anderson Craft Ales IPA, Muskoka Mad Tom, Great Lakes Octopus Wants To Fight, Great Lakes Karma Citra.

    Episode #249: You're Tasting Money with Nick Bobas of Slake Brewing | Adjunct Series

    Prince Edward County is fast becoming one of the most exciting craft beer destinations in Canada, and one brewery arguably set off this latest wave. Slake have been going from strength-to-strength over the past six years, so Co-Founder and Head Brewer Nick Bobas jumped back on the pod to hang with Cee and Nate. They got into their growth over the past two years since they were on the podcast, their recent sixth anniversary and the three beers they dropped to celebrate, how their taproom and lineup have changed over the years, their approach to LCBO and pricing, their strong connection with Quebec and why folks from La Belle Province love The County, how getting Freestyle Manilita hops works, their unique approach to and process for their beers, the world of fruit extracts, their approach to volume and packaging, why they do mostly low ABV beers, the differences between a Session IPA and a Pale Ale, the value of hop selection, and how collaboration has been for them. We got into a gang of killer Slake brews: Stray Light Lager, Mosey Pilsner, Low Key Quebec-style Pale Ale, Cozy Dunkel collaboration with True History, Rest In Peaches IPA with peaches collaboration with Blood Brothers, Pollen IPA, and Darren the One Eyed Cat (2026 Cabernet Sauvignon) Grape Ale. This was amazing - cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

    Episode #248: The Beer That Built The House with Simon Livingstone of L'Espace Public | Adjunct Series

    One of our oldest friends of the show is Simon Livingstone, Co-Owner and Head Brewer at Hochelaga institution, L'Espace Public. Simmo (as Cee calls him) jumped back on to hang with Cee and chat about what they've been doing since his last time on the pod over four years ago, the success of their low ABV Lager, the move to tall cans to please retail stores and how that affects their production, their dedication to short cans amidst a tall can-friendly market, how "the beer that built the house" - Bière de Balcon (affectionally known around the brewery as Tony Balconi) - continues to outsell their other brands, whether "jabroni" is a slur, the importance of music venues and the government crackdown on permits in Montreal (including their own space they want to permit to show live music), why they collaborated with rock venue Turbo Haus, how the BAOS collab Bière de Vacances came about and the changes to the newest batch (and the lactose shortage), Simmo's passion for low ABV fruited coffee sours, and their upcoming collaboration with Montreal legends HELM. They got into five killer L'Espace beers: Olympique Lager de Course (Light Lager), Bière de Balcon Sûre aux Framboises (Raspberry Sour), Turbo Soif Italian Lager collaboration with Turbo Haus, Bière de Vacances Sûre Creamsicle (Creamsicle Sour) collaboration with BAOS Podcast, and Bière de Vacances Sûre aux Pavlova collaboration with BAOS Podcast for our 10th anniversary. This was a lot of fun - enjoy Simmo's raps!  BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

    Episode #247: XTRM TURBO with Marc-André Filion of Messorem Bracitorium | Adjunct Series

    Arguably the most well-known craft brewery in Canada, Montreal's Messorem Bracitorium have absolutely dominated the global landscape over the past seven years. Co-Founder and Graphic Designer Marc-André Filion jumped back on the pod for the first time in over two years to chat with Cee and Nate on our longest podcast of all time, spanning over 6 hours!! This broke the Third Moon record of just over 5 hours that held for 2.5 years - incredible. Filion talked about their brand visuals update, how they've taken the brand global so fast, their dedication to quality, their killer Lager program, why they've ran with so many beer series, their merch business, their approach to collaborations and why they love them, how their French beer names confuse people sometimes, how their barrel program has evolved over the years, their dedication to Quebec and how they make sure they service the locals first, and why Lagers should be rated properly. They got into a gang of insane Messo brews - Il Fut En Temps : Rice Lager, Czech Pils De Foudre, Demoliri 0040 NEIPA, Destructio 0018 Double NEIPA, Temporalis #0065 Triple IPA, Mort Bleue Barrel-Aged Stout, and Polotmavé De Foudre. This was an incredible episode - we hope y'all can break this up into manageable chunks to soak up the convo! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

    Episode #246: Let's Try A New One with Scott Shailer of Woodcutter's Brewing | Adjunct Series

    One of our big goals for 2026 and 2027 is to expand the pod to breweries in regions that we haven't typically covered, and this one is certainly a first. Hailing from Whitehorse in The Yukon in North Western Canada, Woodcutter's Brewing has been doing some super unique stuff for the last six years and change. Founder and Head Brewer Scott Shailer sat down with Cee to chat about their "only brew it once" approach to their beers, his eclectic career that took him to Ottawa, Gatineau and Whitehorse, what a hop rocket is and how they use it to maximize efficiency from their hop rate, how he works with the nearby Alaskan breweries and their close relationship, why they're Canada's Smallest Music Venue, their 8-seat taproom and the Woodcutter's Blanket next door, what the Yukon scene is like and the palate of the region, how close the Whitehorse breweries are, and why he'll never distribute his beers. They got into six fresh crowlers - German Hefeweizen, Temagami Retro IPA, Tatamagouche NEIPA, Belgian Dubbel, Mango Bier, and Smoked Porter. This was a gem of a chat - enjoy!

    Episode #245: That Tastes Like Nine More with Andrew McCready of Bickford Brewing | Adjunct Series

    Toronto's Smallest Brewery, Bickford Brewing, jumps back on the pod just in time for their second anniversary. Founder and Head Brewer Andrew McCready joins Cee and Nate to chat about what's been happening since we last spoke, their Best New Brewery award from the CBAs, their growth into the LCBO with core brands, how they continue to remain experimental and fun, why they brew collab beers at other breweries, we discussed all five of their second anniversary collab beers (and drank three of them on the pod), Untappd beer ratings and Google Reviews and their impact on breweries, his experience beer judging in both GTA Brews and professional organizations, how he plans to iterate on his popular Patio Crusher series, his Oktoberfest plans, their recent break-in and his house fire that disrupted the year, the difference between a Kentucky and California Common, and how he continues to build and connect with his community. They got into seven killer Bickford beers - Patio Crusher Tangerine Light Lager, 3 Way IPA West Coast IPA collaboration with Samara and Steadfast, Copper & Pine Red IPA second anniversary collaboration with Granite, The Hot Minute Hoppy Brown Ale second anniversary collaboration with Jordan St. John, Vital Signs Passionfruit NZ Sour second anniversary collaboration with Pierced Mug, What Gose Round Raspberry Gose, and Buried Bridge Pilsner.

    Episode #244: I F**ks With Ducks with John Jenkinson + Matthew Park of Burdock Brewery | Adjunct Series

    One of the most legendary and impactful Ontario breweries for us from around the time the podcast began is Toronto's Burdock Brewery, and it's kinda wild this is only their first appearance. Co-Founder Matthew Park and Head Brewer John Jenkinson joined Cee and Nate to talk through both of their histories in beer (including John's first ever Head Brewer job and Burdock's Edinburgh roots), why they decided to focus mostly on Lagers and Saisons, how their wine beer hybrid obsession began and their partnership with Pearl Morissette winery in Niagara (and the BUMO series), the process of making a beer wine hybrid, their move into 8oz Pilsner cans and LCBO acceptance, their choices on packaging and why they're betting on 8oz cans, the importance of being a gateway to new craft beer drinkers, why they opened their Kensington location and the story of their extremely unique steakhouse taproom next door, how their dedication to The Band came about, and why they named their flagship IPA "Ducks". They got into seven impeccable Burdock brews - Deluxe Golden Lager, Pocket Pilsner, The Last Waltz Gold Lager collaboration with The Band, Alto Bianco Quadruple Fruit Grape Ale, Ducktown West Coast Session IPA collaboration with Beertown, Bears Pale Ale, and Ducks IPA. This was hilariously awesome - cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads
