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...

Episode #234: Frothy, Wet & Cold with Cameron Fryer + Daniel Schmidt of Royal City Brewing Co. | Adjunct Series

BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast

Guelph, Ontario, boasts one of the coolest and arguably most underrated craft beer scenes in Canada. Cam and Dan of Royal City jumped back on the pod after two years to catch up on what's been happening, their massive non-alcoholic beer program, their new pasteurizer and how they contract NA beers for other breweries, why they chose short cans for their flagship Lite Lager, their killer Lager and IPA tap takeovers and the challenges with running events, their new sparkling water and soda program, what an 80 Shilling is and why they decided to do one, the price of beer in Canada, the US and...

Episode #233: Beer By The Law with Scott Shuler of Hofbräuhaus Buffalo | Adjunct Series

BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast

One 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...

Episode #232: Taste Makers with Alexander Diamandas of Yakima Chief Hops | Adjunct Series

BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast

While we talk about hops on essentially every episode, we rarely get to do a deep dive into the topic with someone who actually works in the field (get it? field? hop field? ha). Alex Diamandas of Yakima Chief Hops joined Cee and Nate to chat about his transition from home brewing to professional brewer to hop slanger, the big hack of Idaho 7 in the whirlpool, how hop extracts are actually made and the fundamental differences between Dynaboost and Hyperboost, how the HBC program works to transition new hops from the farm to the market, how you can add hops to the mash for a unique flavour, the...

Episode #231: The Third Space with Colin and Stephanie VanderMeulen of Dune Hopper | Adjunct Series

BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast

From a strong start that landed them New Brewery of the Year for 2024, to now clearly making it inside our annual Top 10 Breweries in Ontario for 2025, Dune Hopper is going from strength to strength. Co-Founders Colin and Steph joined Cee and Nate to chat about what's been happening since their last appearance on the pod, the importance of collabs and how they can help grow the presence of a brand, how their community rallies around them during the slower months, how they do "the sofa test", how they sour beer with yoghurt, what it means to them to have made the BAOS lists two years in a row,...

Episode #230: Liquid Is King with Conor Begley of Fathers Brewing | Adjunct Series

BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast

Northern California's Fathers Brewing has only been on the scene for less than 6 months, and is already making a splash. Co-Founder Conor Begley joined Cee to chat about his looping journey from software to beer and back again, their plans to grow the brand, why they decided on making organic, clean beer, why bottles are superior to cans, their lab reports that break down the insane amounts of toxins like arsenic and microplastics in most beers, his random meeting with the king of craft beer Jim Koch (of Samuel Adams), why business is a fun game to him, how they currently sell their beer and...

Episode #229: Love The View, Love The Beer with Guillaume Savard of Microbrasserie Le Ketch | Adjunct Series

BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast

For the first interview pod with Nate back in the co-host chair, we had to time it so it was with one of our favourite breweries in the province of Quebec. Guillaume Savard of Le Ketch joined Cee and Nate to catch up on what's been happening the last couple of years, their taproom and patio improvements, how Eggers Hops changes the names of their hop varieties and Guillaume's love of NZ hops, the different styles that they're expanding into (including some nano beers), why they use local honey in basically all of their beers, their insane volume of collabs, why Guillaume travels so much to...

Episode #228: Vermont's Happy Place with Jonathan Mogor of Soulmate Brewing | Adjunct Series

BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast

Vermont has been one of our favourite places on earth for over a decade now, so it was phenomenal to finally have a VT brewery back on the pod! Jonathan Mogor of Soulmate joined Cee to chat about the origin of the brewery and their lengthy construction, how the name came about, their unique crowdfunding approach to their business (you can become a co-owner via the link below), how they got over 500 5-star Google Reviews, the wide range of beers, why they use their tongue-in-cheek beer names, his love for Quebec and Quebec craft beer, why their community is everything and how they've managed to...

Episode #227: Beers By The Pond with Aidan Grummett of Flux Brewing Co. | Adjunct Series

BAOS: Beer & Other Shhh Podcast

Our biggest surprise of 2023 was Scotland, ON's Flux Brewing - we knew their branding and social presence was awesome, but damn, their beers were impeccable. Brewer Aidan Grummett joins Cee back on the pod to catch up on what's been happening for the past two years, their new enclosed patio, why they opened themselves up to collaborations and what that's meant for them, what a Zoiglbier is, how they crafted their own image and brand, their move to 16oz cans, his disdain for growlers and flights, their potential barrel program, the fact he's never had a Guinness, the lactose trend, Session IPAs...

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 came about, the WNY craft beer scene and the history of their direct area (Orchard Park and East Aurora), how Buffalo has grown into a super cool city for beer and food, his aspirations with the brewery, the history of the building and how they went from hot dogs to a full kitchen, his accomplished business partners (in the restaurant and design world), his connections with Australia and Canada, and their upcoming taproom location in Lancaster, NY. They got into six Wayland gems: Especial Mexican Lager, Waylander German Pilsner, Errant Path Czech-style Pale Lager collaboration with Strangebird, Weissbier Hefeweizen, Case Study West Coast IPA, and Full Send NEIPA. This was such a phenomenal chat - cheers!
