Episode #244: I F**ks With Ducks with John Jenkinson + Matthew Park of Burdock Brewery | Adjunct Series
BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast
One of the most legendary and impactful Ontario breweries for us from around the time the podcast began is Toronto's Burdock Brewery, and it's kinda wild this is only their first appearance. Co-Founder Matthew Park and Head Brewer John Jenkinson joined Cee and Nate to talk through both of their histories in beer (including John's first ever Head Brewer job and Burdock's Edinburgh roots), why they decided to focus mostly on Lagers and Saisons, how their wine beer hybrid obsession began and their partnership with Pearl Morissette winery in Niagara (and the BUMO series), the process of making a...

Episode #243: Can You Hang? with Donovan Fast of Eighty-Eight Brewing Co. | Adjunct Series
BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast
Alberta is one Canadian craft beer scene that we haven't tapped into enough, so we're fixing that right now - we were stoked to sit down with one of the most hyped breweries in Calgary. Production Manager and Head Brewer Donovan Fast leads the liquid for Eighty-Eight Brewing Co., and he joined Cee and Nate to chat about his international craft brewing career that took him from Manitoba to Germany to Alberta, what he learned from the classic German brewers, how he landed the Head Brewer job before Eighty-Eight opened (and has been the sole Head Brewer in their history), how the Calgary craft...

Episode #242: Drink Gold with Prathit Naniwadekar of Aurum Brewing Company | Adjunct Series
BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast
One of the newest breweries in Ontario (at the time of recording) is Prince Edward County's Aurum. Meaning "gold" in Latin, their slogan "Drink Gold" is incredibly appropriate for a brewery that focuses mostly on German and Czech-style Lagers and Ales. Co-Founder and Head Brewer Prat joined Cee and Nate to chat about his eclectic beer history - from India to Ontario, how he met his Co-Founder Joe and how they came across the space that turned into Aurum, why they chose the County and why they focus on the styles that they do, Prat's experiences in Germany and the Czech Republic that shaped...

Episode #241: Where The F**k Have We Been? | Adjunct Series
BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast
It feels like almost every year we end up taking some sort of a short pause over the summer for obvious reasons, but in 2026, it was a little longer than usual. Both Cee and Nate were off galavanting across the globe, so we figured the best way to ease back into the pod was to run through all the shenanigans they got up to. Here's some teasers to get you going: Nate spent time in glorious Mexico soaking up the few beer options available, along with sampling a much wider variety of fire in Rimouski and Saint-Flavie in Quebec. Cee, on the other hand, was going nuts in places like California,...

Founder Gavin Anderson jumped back on the pod after three and a half years to chat about what's been happening since we last spoke, their upcoming 10th anniversary and some of the craziest beers they've ever done (including glizzy, roast chicken and pizza beers), all of the Anderson classics that they're bringing back from the archives for the anniversary, the evolution of their seasonal beers, why they...

BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast
It's not every day we get to speak to someone as accomplished as Christian Klaus Riemerschmid von der Heide. Co-Founder of The Paris Beer Co. in Paris, ON, Christian joined Cee to chat about his upbringing in a small town in Bavaria and how the local brewery is a key part of life, why most German breweries had their own malting facility, his unique beer journey from his first apprenticeship to his Head Brewer position at the esteemed Augustiner-Bräu, his work with Labatt, Diageo and even Guinness, what brought him back to Canada, why they choose to grow and control as many of the...

BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast
One of the coolest and most innovative brewery collaborations this decade is Vancouver, BC's Threefold. A shared taproom comprised of three independent breweries - Temporal Artisan Ales, Slow Hand Beer Co., and Boombox Brewing - Threefold is the perfect manifestation of what combining your powers in the craft beer industry can look like. We had a bit of a podcast party, featuring Tristan Stewart of Temporal, Kurtis Sheldon of Slow Hand, and Phil Spurgeon + Kent Courtice of Boombox, and we got into each brewery's origin story and what they all specialize in, how the idea of Threefold came...

Our Brewery of the Year for 2024, Niagara Falls, ON's Counterpart has just kept on winning, dropping world-class barrel-aged beers, impeccable hazy IPAs and offering some of the best food options in a brewery in the country.

Episode #236: Keep Buffalo A Secret with PJ Dunn of Wayland Brewing | Adjunct Series
BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast
One of the blessings of living in Hamilton is the proximity to the US border. Since relocating in 2022, Cee has been digging into the Western New York craft beer scene, and the latest discovery might be the fave yet. Based in beautiful Orchard Park, Wayland Brewing doesn't feel like a suburban brewery - the taproom is a stunning 20-foot-plus atrium with floor-to-ceiling windows, a killer patio with a full-size bocce court, boasting an impeccable kitchen, four LUKR taps and a beer lineup to satisfy any craft beer fan. Co-Founder and Head Brewer PJ Dunn joined Cee to chat about how the brewery...

Episode #235: Built For The Locals with Lachie Fyfe + Zac Pattison of Thirty Eight O Six Brewing | Adjunct Series
BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast
There's no better feeling than having no expectations for a brewery visit and being blown away. That's exactly how Cee felt after visiting Thirty Eight O Six during a recent trip to his motherland of Australia. Nestled in the South Eastern suburb of Berwick in Melbourne, Co-Founders Lachie (Brewer) and Zac (Chef) have turned their industrial unit into something you'd be more likely to find in hipster city neighbourhoods like Collingwood or Fitzroy. The fellas jumped on the pod to chat about their connection to Berwick and how proud they are to bring their idea to life where they grew up, how...
info_outlineOne of Cee's major bucket list items is to get out to Europe and experience the rich beer heritage firsthand. In the meantime, the next best thing is to hang out at the satellite brewery for Bavaria's Hofbräuhaus just over the border in Buffalo, New York. During our last visit in December, we connected with Braumeister Scott Shuler for a tour, which of course turned into a podcast. Scott and Cee chatted about their unique 450+ year history, why it's government-owned and Bavarian laws apply to Hofbräu beers anywhere in the world, the arrangement between Munich and the satellite locations to brew their classic beer in very specific ways, the freedom Scott has with other related seasonal beers, why altering the water profile breaches the German Purity Law of 1516, his eclectic beer history from Tampa to Buffalo, the impeccable and authentically German food program at the brewery, and why he'd love a trip out to Bavaria. They got into five crowlers straight from Buffalo: Hofbräu Original Premium Lager, Hofbräu Münchner Weisse, Dunkel, Hofbräu Schwarzbier, and Hofbräu Doppelbock. This was a fascinating convo - cheers!
