Because two of the three beers were small cans, we wrapped this episode pretty quick. However, along the way we did chat about: Murdoch Mysteries; Maury Povich; Billy Madison; the Dune 2 popcorn bucket; Brass Monkey; and Karen Carpenter. Boy did we cover a lot of ground.

To be completely honest, the impetus for doing this episode was a desire to clear up our backlog. So for this week's Domestic Pints ONLY, John and Tom discuss a series of random craft lager—some of which have been in our possession for a couple of years. First up is the 100th MERIDIAN AMBER LAGER by Mill Street. Next up LONGHORN LAGER from Uxbridge, Ontario. The last item is the COFFEE LAGER by Sidelaunch Brewing Company (which as of this recording is currently unavailable to purchase, but keep your eyes open). Along the way we chat about: Christmas shopping; The Tragically Hip-Mill Street lawsuit; $10 pitchers of beer at college bars; Toronto slang; cannabus-induced paranoia; and pelicans.

The lineup for this episode is the LIFE RAFT vodka caesar, and two selections by MOTTS: Original, and Pickled Bean. Before getting to the lineup we did a quick little caesar recap, and after the discussion we also had an extended chat about the Seat Struck Movie Podcast (Tom is appearing this week as a guest!). Overall, we're still not the biggest fan of canned caesars, but if you want something to recreate a caesar in a pinch, these are a nice choice.
