Cooper and Nolan are ready to protect and serve this week, when they finally cover SGT. KABUKIMAN N.Y.P.D.! This trip to Tromaville (by way of NYC) has been a long time coming, and the guys are bringing in a noted tapehead and trash cinema fan to help them navigate all of the strange sights and sounds. And with some of the most ridiculous plot points, practical FX, and wigs you could possibly imagine, this special guest definitely has his work cut out for him - but not as much a Nolan trying to tiptoe around the movie's problematic stereotypes. Words won't do this one justice, you're just going to have to taste it, so grab your chopsticks; this episode (featuring a beer from Godspeed Brewery) is a comedy experience you'll want to dive into.
Chris is getting into a fun little hop bomb from his pals at Godspeed, and bringing you the penultimate episode of the Toronto Beer and Rugby Podcast (at least until the Six Nations). — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).
Chris is getting into an unexpected homage, and that's a-okay! It's Kawasemi from Godspeed Brewery, and it's a delightful snappy little lager. And tonight's PSA is that if you don't like the rugby talk on this podcast, you're really not going to like the next two months. Because it's RUGBY WORLD CUP!!! — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin).
Pilsners have been enjoyed since their invention in Bohemia, now the Czech Republic, since their release in the fall of 1842. Since then, many iterations have been created and the pilsner has grown into one of the most beloved beer styles in the world. The beer continues to evolve and grow, with 21st century interpretations like the Italian pilsner to nods to the humble beginnings like using pitch lined wood barrels for aging. Pilsner is the Madonna of beer, constantly changing while always being authentically a star.Guests:Luc Lafontaine's brewing career spans 30 years across multiple continents, anchored by a decade-long stint at Dieu du Ciel Brewery in Montreal before venturing on his own to open Ushi Tora Brewery in Tochigi (Toe chee gee), Japan back in 2014. After years of travel and collaboration with some of the industry's most celebrated brewers, Lafontaine moved back to Toronto, Canada to found Godspeed Brewery in 2017. Today, his “inspiration first” approach to brewing has refocused his attention on Czech brewing tradition, where, in partnership and consultation with the Czech government, he's looking to break new ground for lager brewing in Canada. Tim Adams is the founder and owner of Maine-based Oxbow Brewing Co. Founded in 2011, Oxbow specializes in producing farmhouse ales and lagers and has retail locations in Newcastle, Portland and Oxford.

Chris is getting into it for the last ep of the season before a break that will include St Patrick's Day; a good day for a stout. Sipping a Kuro Nitro Dry Stout from Godspeed, and laying down some good ground rules for celebrating the patron saint of Cote D'Ivoire. — — — — Theme: Link Ray Gun by The Currie Bros https://thecurriebrothers.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-currie-brothers TBP on Insta @TorontoBeerPodcast (does what it says on the tin). https://paddynotpatty.com/
Chris is comparing the new Sklepnik Old-Style made in Bim's fantastic new 40hL pitch-lined fermenting barrels made by the coopers at Pilsner Urquell against the regular version made in stainless steel tanks.

Chris is drinking a Biere de Soif from Godspeed Brewery x Brasserie de la Senne, and getting all giddy and excited about the release later this week of Godspeed's Sklepnik from the new Pilsner Urquell pitch-lined barrels they recently acquired.

This week, Beer Sessions Radio will introduce you to the world of lagers and beer-food pairings. Jimmy and our guests Mirella Amato, Todd DiMatteo, along with Luc “Bim” LaFontaine will have a lively discussion about pairing techniques and considerations, as well as the light beer scene around the world. The episode breaks off with Todd from Good Word Brewing and Public House promoting his upcoming Little Beer Fest on April 9 with 65 breweries gathering in Duluth, Georgia. Godspeed Brewery's Luc then talks about his time in Japan and Czech exploring the world of craft small beers, before explaining his process when it comes to pairing beers and food at his retail shop house. All these conversations happen as Mirella from Beerology took us through a demo of her new course Mastering Beer & Food Pairing, brought to you by Beerology® by using Todd and Luc's examples to demonstrate her technique-focused curriculum!Photo Courtesy of Andrew Budziak.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Chris is getting into a serious serious bottle from his beloved Godspeed, a "mega-blend" no less!
There are a lot of parallels between good music and good beer, from the similarly creative processes of conceptualizing new beers and writing new songs to the way independent makers are fighting for their place at the table in two industries that are dominated by massive corporations. Beer media and music publications have a lot in common, too. Although I mostly write about food and drink nowadays, I got my start by writing music reviews for the San Francisco Bay Guardian while playing guitar in an indie band in the city. Several beer writers, actually, started out as music writers. And more than a few brewers, publicans, and brewery owners had early careers in the music industry. In this episode, I talk to Blake Enemark, head brewer at Tailgunner Brewing Company in Calgary, Alberta. Before he became a brewer, Blake played guitar in a band called We Are the City, touring in a van from show to show and recording a bunch of cool songs. Since he left the band, he's become an award-winning brewer who spent a couple of years working with Mike Lackey at Great Lakes Brewery in Ontario, followed by gigs at breweries like Last Best and OT Brewing in Calgary. We met at the Central European Brewers Conference in Budapest, Hungary, where Blake was giving a presentation on modern IPA techniques. (Interestingly, he says that one of his most popular beers at Tailgunner is a Czech-style pale lager, a style that is close to my own heart.) We talk about music and brewing, what the two fields have in common and what sets them apart, as well as Blake's influences, from brewers he never brewed with (but was inspired by) to mentors like Luc “Bim” Lafontaine of Godspeed Brewery in Toronto. By chance, we're speaking at the Hungarian Rock Museum, which is filled with vintage guitars, musical equipment, and photographs of people rocking out.
Long one tonight considering there's no guest, but it makes sense, as Chris is having a booty-call with a pair of lovely beers from Godspeed. There's stories, memories, rants, and a PSA about starting breweries. A calm comfortable night to be sure.
Woah woah woah, this one is crazy! Kaede from Godspeed is a massive 10% still (not carbonated) beer bursting with big jammy dark dried fruits, and a huge helping of sweet maple syrup. Also, Chris tries the house hot sauce from Godspeed, and it's rock solid too! What a day!
Just like JC, Chris is back and sipping an absolute classic from Godspeed Brewery, thier Ochame IPA with green tea. Also the (now usual) covid-ranting. And new for season 6: this episode brought you Muddy York Brewing, the first in at least one reverse sponsorships.
Chris finally managed to grab a pair of the Godspeed Old-style Pilsner finsihed two ways (steel and wood), so tonight we're comparing them, then having a good old rant about St Patrick's day.
This week we talk with Maxim Morin, the Sales and Communications Coordinator of Godspeed Brewery in Toronto and get a peek into his insight on this crazy industry. www.godspeedbrewery.com Theme: Cold Funk by Kevin MacLeod - incompetech.com Support us on Patreon: https://tinyurl.com/OCBGPodcast Don't forget to donate to these amazing organizations! https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#donate
Chris is really tired, but here and ready to rawk. Tonight it's a can of the new Besuto English Best bitter from Godspeed, which is hella tight. Also, lots of sleepy silliness.
Chris is back on familiar ground, not just drinking a hazy boi, or a beer from Godspeed, but BOTH! Also some cask days sorrow, a cool way to share beers online, and giving some love to the Mi'kmaq lobster fishing community in NS.
This time we’re excited to conduct a Godspeed Brewery mega-tasting! We are loading up with S-E-V-E-N, SEVEN Godspeed brews while talking Toronto beer, the international appeal of Godspeed Brewery and much more!

Chris is absolutely LOVING this first packaged barrel-aged beer from Godspeed brewery, and also discussing how to be a better person in this very complicated world we find ourselves.
Chris is drinking an absolutely delicious Oberkassel from Godspeed Brewery and he goes on a bit of a rant about people invading his neighbourhood.
Chris is drinking a delicious Fukami Dunkel from Godspeed and hosting his BYOB party. Not sure if anybody B'ed their OB, because everybody watching live seemed shy, but it was a fun little get together, and if we're honest, Chris mostly likes to hear himself talk anyway. That's why people start podcasts.....
Chris is confused and coming off a rough Monday, but the good news is both him and his computer are back in fine form and sipping on a Godspeed Dark Czech Lager (well, not the computer). Also bigging up the Pink Boots Society brewday this Sunday.
Change is good for everyone. The podcast has been running for around four and a half years now, and we feel like it's time we switch it up. We've now updated all our previous episodes into five seasons based on the year they were released, and all future episodes will be released with a thematic narrative element, beginning in 2020. Between now and Christmas 2019, we'll be reposting the Top 10 most downloaded episodes of all time, starting with Episode #90 with Luc from Toronto's Godspeed. Luc is a great guy, and his (mostly) traditional beers are exceptional. We hung out with him last summer at the brewery in Toronto to crush some fire and get into his eclectic beer history. Even if you've heard this one before, it's always fun to revisit a chat with such an intelligent guy. Cheers! ------------------------- It's crazy to us that we're at episode 90. Amazing. For this latest milestone, we hung out with the legendary Luc "Bim" LaFontaine at the almost-one-year-old Godspeed Brewery in Toronto. Godspeed were the most hyped Ontario brewery of 2017, and Luc's smooth, traditional beers have caused a stir across the province's beer scene. We chat about his humble beginnings with Dieu du Ciel, his brewery and tea farm in Japan and his plans for the future. Beers Reviewed: Godspeed Otsukaresama Dortmunder; Godspeed Yuzu; Godspeed Ochame; Godspeed Ibushi; Godspeed Sora; Godspeed Kemuri.
