This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, John and Tom return back to some familiar material, sampling a selection of more conventional lagers from the craft beer scene. First up, we embrace the cottage mindset with the satisfying LITTLE ISLAND LEMON LAGER. Next up is a selection from a recent episode, New Level Brewing, as we dive into HELLION LAGER. We wrap things up with our first Flying Monkeys beer, the pumpkin lager THEATRE OF MADNESS. We efficiently crushed these beers, but we did have some time to chat about: cottage mindset; safety meetings; yacht rock; British power metal; Grateful Dead bootlegs; and the LCBO food sampling stations. We'll be back next week with another miscellaneous craft mix (trying to clean up some old cupboard stock before the summer!)

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.
