Calling this Raygunnin’ from now on.

It's nice to see CTV Kitchener listening to the good people at Block Three Brewing about this bidding process, but it's absolutely wild to me that they failed to mention:
1) The bidding process actually requires the winning brewery to pay the city a large sum of cash -- literally paying for exclusivity rights, and
2) The previous winner of the "craft tier" bid, Four Fathers Brewing, was founded by a guy who can be seen on video hitting a woman.

I assumed the City of Kitchener would want to support local business owners who aren't, you know, fu***ng scum bags.

A local craft beer producer says the bidding process to be the preferred beer supplier at city run sports venues, only gives big brands a chance.

Another annual visit to , another mortgage payment spent in the retail space, another scheduling conflict preventing me from seeing the enigmatic Sam Corbeil IRL. Bitter sweet.

Finally made it into in Port Elgin today. Great spot, nice beers, good vibes. A pint or two and a chat with was a nice little respite from the family cottage. Also, great hat selection. Had to get a snap back.

The rumours we can still get booze at agency stores during the LCBO strike have been greatly exaggerated.

FOUR MORE YEARS!
It’s been four years to the day since we recorded our first episode of the show, which obviously means there have been 88 episodes. To celebrate reaching our Lindros Show, Ben and Chris celebrate with a look back at that inaugural episode with Steam Whistle’s Greg Taylor; plus we chat LCBO strike and Charlie Sheen’s fastball. Get it wherever you get your podcasts today after Kenny the intern gets back from lunch and uploads it. 🐂💩🍺🏒⚾️

Sure, has created an inferior podcast to ours that’s in direct competition and I don’t want to support Big Podcast coming for our homegrown local efforts, but credit where it’s due: I just made a rare pop in to a Beer Store because Doug Ford and found the Canuck there was packaged THREE FU***NG DAYS AGO.
At $60 a case for tall boys that’s a no brainer. GLB: S**t podcast, fresh beer.

Long weekend is as good as any time for a . Rocking two Jumbo dogs today and a dollar store vase full of Czech pilsner on tap (sometimes a pint isn’t enough and you need a dollar store vase on hand, OK?). A little slider as a chaser, Belgium and France on the outdoor TV and you can be damn sure all signs are pointing to an afternoon nap.

There will be no new episode this week as our intern, Kenny, spilled beer on our audio equipment. This is Meta AI’s interpretation of the event and it’s not too far off. We might run a “classic episode” if we still have any strength left after beating Kenny with a rubber house. Thank you for your patience.

The first time you see a commercial about the Blue Jays Chip & Dip Bowl Giveaway night: “Why would any one want that stupid thing?”

The second time you see a commercial about the Blue Jays Chip & Dip Bowl Giveaway night: “That thing is actually kind of hilarious.”

The third time you see a commercial about the Blue Jays Chip & Dip Bowl Giveaway night: “I need that fu***ng chip and dip bowl.”

Once you quit hearing “IBUs” and “piney,” the rest is soon to foller.

It’s new episode day and it’s a doozy. Ben welcomes back Ontario craft beer veteran Sam Corbeil and chats about celebrating 10 years of their brewery, the importance of beer awards, why non-alcoholic beer sucks, and complicated, silly beer names — plus they chat John Irving, death row pizza, and Ben pitches his lawn mowing TV show.

Also: an important service announcement about recreational sports injuries in honour of

"[A]s a small business owner, you're far too busy to collaborate with and elevate the voices of LGBTQ+ people. However, if you simply slap a rainbow on a beer can or update your business social media avatar to a rainbow image, a lot of consumers will infer that you actually do those things."

You may have noticed an increase in imagery and messaging relating to the LGBTQ+ community popping up from your favourite brands this past week. This is of course, because it’s Pride Month, a…

NEW EPISODE: A little later than usual this week, but well worth the wait. Ben and Chris chat with Beer Guy, Jordan St. John, author of many beer books, some of which he’ll tell you the name of, editor of The Growler beer guide, beer instructor at George Brown College, and rent-controlled midtown Toronto resident. The guys chat beer criticism, free beer, erotic fiction, and awards — plus a Pell’s Corner for the ages.
Get it at your local convenience store today.
