Cooper and Nolan are leaving it in park this week when they cover JURASSIC PARK III by special request! One of the earliest examples of fan service, this sequel features multiple actors phoning it in while CGI dinosaurs roam free in the background. It also asks the question: What if William H. Macy's character from Boogie Nights had his son go missing on an island full of escaped dinosaurs? That last bit might be an exaggeration, but it's not a stretch to say that this movie put the Jurassic Park franchise back in amber for over a decade. They say life finds a way, but can beer find a way to make watching this even slightly enjoyable? This episode (featuring a beer from Phillips Brewing & Malting Co.) holds the key to finding out - just make sure you lock the cage door when you leave.

For today's episode of the Let's Meet For a Beer Podcast, I sat down with Euan Thomson - Founder and CEO of RAFT Beer Labs in Calgary, Alberta.  Basically, Euan is a science nerd that makes sure beer doesn't taste funky!Euan grew up in Nova Scotia and moved to Calgary as a young boy with dreams of becoming a paleontologist.  As Euan grew older, his love for science remained, but his passion for dinosaurs was replaced with craft beer as he experienced the delightful flavors of The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company, Big Rock Brewery, and Wild Rose Brewery.While attending the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Euan was able to combine his interests in helping Alley Kat Brewing Company improve its quality control measures.  As Euan explains, “Alley Kat showed me that there was a demand for people with my skill set.”  Through a series of fortunate events, Euan soon found himself working for Phillips Brewing and Malting Company in Victoria, BC.  As Phillips Lab Manager, Euan was able to further develop his skill set.  Recently Euan returned to Calgary and created RAFT Beer Labs with a mission to help craft breweries increase their market share.  Outside of work, Euan and his wife are passionate about social activism.  Currently, they are rallying Alberta companies to support harm reduction initiatives - which he discusses on the podcast.Euan is a great person and making a positive impact in our community - I hope you enjoy the conversation! —Alberta Beer Festivals: website | twitter | instagramRAFT Beer Labs: website | twitter | instagram | facebook |

Show Notes: Liquor Plus Radio Episode 4: Brew of the Week Jan. 4-Jan. 10, 2012- Phillips & Garrison Brewing ‘Mash Up’ Baltic Porter Program Note: Liquor Plus Radio was designed to be raw and done in one take. Authenticity is the name of this game... Collaborative brewing efforts are growing in popularity amongst craft brewers and I can see why. They offer the same kind of cache and imagery that a winery gets when they speak of a Single Vineyard wine. The collaboration between the Phillips Brewery and Garrison of Halifax is easy to understand. Both are at the heart of their communities growing brewing culture, both got started facing similar financial and licensing challenges, both are primarily ale houses, and both are out of the box thinkers when it comes to crafting brews that are full of flavour, and if you have ever met either Matt Phillips of the Phillips Brewery or Daniel Girard of Garrison Brewing, you know you have met two kindered spirits. Why Porter… good question! Porter is traditionally brewed used lager yeasts and dark malts that results in a smoother texture and flavours of dark chocolate or cocoa, coffee and roasted nuts. The theory goes that Porter got its name because the street and river porter’s of 18th century London popularised it; nice. Cozy thoughts but I’m not so sure of the truth in this. Baltic Porter is also traditionally brewed using lager yeasts and dark malts but is much stronger. Back in the day this was to insure that the beer could survive the overseas trip from Finland, Estonia or Sweden over the North Sea to England. Today the extra alcohol simply adds more body to the brew. In terms of taste, first thing first, make sure you have it at the right temperature. Porters and Baltic Porters should be enjoyed at room temperature. Room temperature allows you to enjoy the complete texture, flavours, and complexities of the brew. Porters are ‘cozy’ beers and chilling makes them as cozy as sitting on an ice block with the air conditioning on. The texture is smooth and languid while the flavours feature dark chocolate, figs and hints of fresh ground coffee. Just on the finish you will notice a hint of black licorice that brings it all together. For the foodgasm we are all on a quest to get, pair this with a good hearty stew, casserole or pot pie. Rich cheeses like Beemster and aged Gouda rock with this brew. As for desserts go with choocalate cake or brownies, even some truffles would be heaven with this. As our Brew of the Week you can taste this beer in everyone of our 5 locations this Saturday January 7 from 3-5pm.
