Episode #240: Unofficial Beer of London with Gavin Anderson of Anderson Craft Ales | Adjunct Series

With their Cream Ale outselling all of the biggest beers in the LCBO by around 3-4x in the area, Anderson Craft Ales seem to have the unofficial craft beer of London, ON on their hands. Founder Gavin Anderson jumped back on the pod after three and a half years to chat about what's been happening since we last spoke, their upcoming 10th anniversary and some of the craziest beers they've ever done (including glizzy, roast chicken and pizza beers), all of the Anderson classics that they're bringing back from the archives for the anniversary, the evolution of their seasonal beers, why they continue to stick with short cans vs tall cans, why their town and neighbourhood is so important to them, the return of the Black IPA, Gavin's personal IPA renaissance, why they're cool with selling mixed packs of beers versus forced four or six-packs, and the rise of the Cream Ale. We got into six Anderson bangers - Tmavý Ležák 11° Czech-Style Dark Lager, Italian Pilsner, Cream Ale, Kuty Dutch Lager, IPA WCIPA, and Coconut Black IPA. This was a gem - cheers!

Episode #238: Intentional Cohabitation with Tristan Stewart of Temporal Artisan Ales, Kurtis Sheldon of Slow Hand Beer Company, and Phil Spurgeon + Kent Courtice of Boombox Brewing aka Threefold | Adjunct Series

One of the coolest and most innovative brewery collaborations this decade is Vancouver, BC's Threefold. A shared taproom comprised of three independent breweries - Temporal Artisan Ales, Slow Hand Beer Co., and Boombox Brewing - Threefold is the perfect manifestation of what combining your powers in the craft beer industry can look like. We had a bit of a podcast party, featuring Tristan Stewart of Temporal, Kurtis Sheldon of Slow Hand, and Phil Spurgeon + Kent Courtice of Boombox, and we got into each brewery's origin story and what they all specialize in, how the idea of Threefold came together, the build out of the space and how it fits into the Vancouver's craft beer landscape, how they split the labour, why Tristan brews for all three brands and how he manages it all, how they've built community around the taproom, and where they plan to take it from here. We got into two beers from each brewery - Slow Hand x Nammos Mediterranean Pilsner, Boombox Juicy AF NEIPA, Boombox Cyber Samurai Double NEIPA, Temporal Breezeway Czech Farmhouse Ale collaboration with Four Winds, Temporal Stout, Reconstituted Blended Stout, and Slow Hand Pilsner.

Our Brewery of the Year for 2024, Niagara Falls, ON's Counterpart has just kept on winning, dropping world-class barrel-aged beers, impeccable hazy IPAs and offering some of the best food options in a brewery in the country. Co-Founder Greg Gnyś jumped back on the pod for the third time to catch up on what's been happening since his last appearance, the opening of their sister pizza spot, Counterpie, how their Flow Fest craft beer festival went down in 2025 and what to expect in 2026, the evolution of their barrel program and how exceptional it is, their recent seventh anniversary releases, why they worked with Western New York breweries for their last anniversary and why they rocked with Quebec breweries this year, the Counterpart x BAOS 10th anniversary collaboration, bottle shares and how Greg gets hold of the best stuff in the US, and how they're growing their footprint across the province.

Episode #236: Keep Buffalo A Secret with PJ Dunn of Wayland Brewing | Adjunct Series

One of the blessings of living in Hamilton is the proximity to the US border. Since relocating in 2022, Cee has been digging into the Western New York craft beer scene, and the latest discovery might be the fave yet. Based in beautiful Orchard Park, Wayland Brewing doesn't feel like a suburban brewery - the taproom is a stunning 20-foot-plus atrium with floor-to-ceiling windows, a killer patio with a full-size bocce court, boasting an impeccable kitchen, four LUKR taps and a beer lineup to satisfy any craft beer fan. Co-Founder and Head Brewer PJ Dunn joined Cee to chat about how the brewery came about, the WNY craft beer scene and the history of their direct area (Orchard Park and East Aurora), how Buffalo has grown into a super cool city for beer and food, his aspirations with the brewery, the history of the building and how they went from hot dogs to a full kitchen, his accomplished business partners (in the restaurant and design world), his connections with Australia and Canada, and their upcoming taproom location in Lancaster, NY. They got into six Wayland gems: Especial Mexican Lager, Waylander German Pilsner, Errant Path Czech-style Pale Lager collaboration with Strangebird, Weissbier Hefeweizen, Case Study West Coast IPA, and Full Send NEIPA.

Episode #235: Built For The Locals with Lachie Fyfe + Zac Pattison of Thirty Eight O Six Brewing | Adjunct Series

There's no better feeling than having no expectations for a brewery visit and being blown away. That's exactly how Cee felt after visiting Thirty Eight O Six during a recent trip to his motherland of Australia. Nestled in the South Eastern suburb of Berwick in Melbourne, Co-Founders Lachie (Brewer) and Zac (Chef) have turned their industrial unit into something you'd be more likely to find in hipster city neighbourhoods like Collingwood or Fitzroy. The fellas jumped on the pod to chat about their connection to Berwick and how proud they are to bring their idea to life where they grew up, how Lachie went from an electrician to a full-time brewer and business owner, Zac's harrowing story of losing a pinkie during the build of the brewery, how they connect with their neighbours (shout out Bermuda Coffee Studio!), their lineup of beers and why they have so many core brands, the popularity of Pale Ales and Xtra Pale Ales in Australia, their approach to their food program and why it's so exceptional, Cee's incredible experience at the brewery with the food, why they attract such a diverse crowd, why they chose shared tables for the taproom, and where they plan to take it from here. They got into five 3806 bangers: Hazy Pale Ale, West Coast IPA, Hazy IPA, Pale Ale, and Oat Cream IPA. This was such a gem - cheers!

Guelph, Ontario, boasts one of the coolest and arguably most underrated craft beer scenes in Canada. Cam and Dan of Royal City jumped back on the pod after two years to catch up on what's been happening, their massive non-alcoholic beer program, their new pasteurizer and how they contract NA beers for other breweries, why they chose short cans for their flagship Lite Lager, their killer Lager and IPA tap takeovers and the challenges with running events, their new sparkling water and soda program, what an 80 Shilling is and why they decided to do one, the price of beer in Canada, the US and Australia and why it's important to keep craft beer as an affordable luxury, how they feel about the new sales channels in Ontario (grocery, gas, convenience), the dope BAOS 10th anniversary Schwarzbier collab, their volcano beer, how the Guelph.beer team of Guelph breweries work together and why the beer bus is so successful. They got into six Royal City bangers - Lite Light Lager, The Big Lubelski Polish-style Lager, Dry Run Non-Alcoholic Nitro Stout, 80 Shilling, Goldie Pale Ale, and Longest Night Strong Ale.

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.

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.
