Ben chats with Sam Corbeil, Brewmaster for Sawdust City Brewery. Sam talks about the proliferation of IPAs, the unappreciated stout, chicken wings at Cask Days, and the cookie company marketing collaboration that kind of sort of almost happened once.
Being an adult is terrifying in different ways. Also Jordan came out with a map and we mourn the absence of Cask Days this year.

Central City Brewers + Distillers (Surrey, British Columbia) released a Canada-wide collaboration with 12 Canadian breweries. Each of the 12 collaboration beers is inspired by the province in which it comes from, and was brewed at Central City’s brewery in Surrey. In Ontario, this pack was split into two 6-packs (East, West) and sold at the LCBO for $14.95 / 6-pack. Show Notes: Recording logistics can be hard, especially when Chuck, April and Katy are planning on going away for a long weekend or two. THE PODCAST SHOW MUST GO ON! Check out 613BeerCast #59 - Across the Nation Collaboration (East) to listen to what we thought of the first part of this pack. Cask Days is an annual event in Toronto that celebrates unfiltered, unpasteurized, naturally carbonated real ale. It's held on the third weekend of October. Chuck recorded 613BeerCast #60 - Sam Corbeil from Sawdust City Brewing Company when he and April were in Gravenhurst for FunkFest. AGCO = Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. The all mighty who regulate how, what and where alcohol is consumed in Ontario. Style profile: Kellerbier. Taste buds exist, but the tongue map is a misconception. Do you remember the Dickie Dee? Top Ottawa ice cream choices by 613BeerCast: Merry Dairy, Pascale's Ice Cream. Beau's Oktoberfest is happening on Friday, September 22 and Saturday, September 23. Hop profile: Idaho 7. Yukon has no special liquor restrictions.

Katy (@klwatts) is joined by Chuck Thibert (@varxint) and Dan Beaudoin to chat about Brasserie Étienne Brûlé (@brasserieeb) and what made him make the big move from Toronto to Embrun to brew beer! Show Notes: Just in case you need more information about who Étienne Brûlé is (isn't it nice that you get a history lesson with your beer?). I will admit I have a domain registering addiction and it took all of my will power not to stop the podcast and register those domains. Ecocert is a Canadian organization that certifies organic producers, processors and distributors. It's pretty rigorous; to be certified you have to be audited yearly and there are surprise audits. I think the restaurant that Dan is talking about is Pure Kitchen Ottawa. Dan is putting me through my paces this episode. Biofine Clear is a fining agent that helps clarify beer. Unlike gelatin or isinglass (made of fish bladders), Biofine Clear is vegan friendly. If you are into reading about fining agents and whether its vegan-ness has any affect on taste (spoiler: it doesn't) you can read this interesting exbeeriment. The Windsor is a local tavern in Vankleek Hill. Well known to be a hangout for the Beau's crowd and host to great bands and even better after parties. There website now (kind of) works, although it's mostly a showcase of instagram photos. Dan is referencing /r/TheBrewery and ProBrewer.com. We've talked about Cask Days before on the show. It truly is something that every beer fan has to experience at least once (or yearly). Oh those long German words, so hard to pronounce. Here's more information on how taxation has affected the Japanese beer industry - it's fairly interesting. Watch out! Dan is going to convert all of Embrun to craft beer - and that's great! Be fancy and serve your lambics using a basket! Things I will work on - not saying "really good" as a beer description on the podcast.

Chris and Mandie get all caught up on Cask Days and fried chicken; Chris is not a go-getter; Halloween exploits; we love the Blue Jays; home brewing and the "Kuerig of home brewing"; Chris possibly mixes the worst metaphors in podcast history; Alberta has seriously turned inter-provincial beers sales on their ear through taxation, and Mandie thinks it might be from lobbying by the big guys, and Chris agrees; dig Ryan Morrow and Sam Corbeil's birthday beer 1105; the podcast is officially powered by Bullfrog Power, and Chris gets digital advertising backwards; Mandie is going on vacation, and Chris is not. Get it in your ear holes!
