We saw a serious chunk of the state, driving from San Francisco down to Corona, then onto Palm Springs, back up to Santa Rosa and all through the Napa Valley and Sonoma wine regions, down to Santa Cruz and San Jose, wrapping up in San Francisco - drinking craft beer exclusively from California. It was epic af.

🍻 Episode #240: Unofficial Beer of London with Gavin Anderson of Anderson Craft Ales ~ Adjunct Series 🍻

With their Cream Ale outselling all of the biggest beers in the LCBO by around 3-4x in the area, Anderson Craft Ales seem to have the unofficial craft beer of London, ON on their hands. 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 continue to stick with short cans vs tall cans, why their town and neighbourhood is so important to them, the return of the Black IPA, Gavin's personal IPA renaissance, why they're cool with selling mixed packs of beers versus forced four or six-packs, and the rise of the Cream Ale. We got into six Anderson bangers - Tmavý Ležák 11° Czech-Style Dark Lager, Italian Pilsner, Cream Ale, Kuty Dutch Lager, IPA WCIPA, and Coconut Black IPA. This was a gem - cheers! 🥥

🍻 Episode #239: Loyalty To Beer with Christian Klaus Riemerschmid von der Heide of Paris Beer Co. ~ Adjunct Series 🍻

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 München, his work with Labatt Breweries of Canada, Diageo and even Guinness, what brought him back to Canada, why they choose to grow and control as many of the ingredients as possible, their hop farms, what their sub-brand Tagwerk represents and how the Tagwerk Farm contributes, how he met the legendary Chuck Hahn in Australia, why he'd rather lose a hand than put marshmallow in a beer, and why he's so dedicated to beer. We got into a bunch of incredible Paris and Tagwerk beers - Tagwerk Tafelbier Bière de Table, Paris Salty Stinger Blue Raspberry Gose, Paris Head Gate Helles Lager, Paris Lazy Dog Helles Bock Festbier, Paris Bumble Mint Honey Weissbier, Tagwerk Smoked Oat Porter, Paris Barnyard Bully Double English IPA, and Hop't Sparkling Hop Water (Tutti Fruitti).

🍻 WHERE TO DRINK CRAFT BEER IN CLEVELAND, OHIO | Cleveland, Sandusky, Columbiana, Chardon 🍻

Cee has never been one for “birthday trips”, but 2026 felt like the right time to start a new tradition. Cleveland, Ohio has been hovering at the top of his list for a minute, so it was the perfect born day spot.

There were two “anchor” breweries that inspired the trip, and the research unearthed a slew of killer breweries, specializing in every style you can think of. From OGs to the new kids in the industrial park, Greater Cleveland has something for every palate and every vibe.

Here’s where we got to:

🍻 Episode #238: Intentional Cohabitation with Tristan Stewart of Temporal Artisan Ales, Kurtis Sheldon of Slow Hand Beer Company and Phil Spurgeon + Kent Courtice of Boombox Brewing Company aka Threefold ~ Adjunct Series 🍻

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 together, the build out of the space and how it fits into the Vancouver's craft beer landscape, how they split the labour, why Tristan brews for all three brands and how he manages it all, how they've built community around the taproom, and where they plan to take it from here. We got into two beers from each brewery - Slow Hand x Nammos Estiatorio Van Mediterranean Pilsner, Boombox Juicy AF NEIPA, Boombox Cyber Samurai Double NEIPA, Temporal Breezeway Czech Farmhouse Ale collaboration with Four Winds Brewing Co., Temporal Stout, Reconstituted Blended Stout, and Slow Hand Pilsner. This was a phenomenal conversation with three impeccable breweries doing something special - enjoy! 🧃

🍻 Episode #236: Keep Buffalo A Secret with PJ Dunn of Wayland Brewing ~ Adjunct Series 🍻

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! 🍺

🍻 Episode #235: Built For The Locals with Lachie Fyfe + Zac Pattison of Thirty Eight O Six Brewing ~ Adjunct Series 🍻

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 Brewing 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 Lachie went from an electrician to a full-time brewer and business owner, Zac's harrowing story of losing a pinkie during the build of the brewery, how they connect with their neighbours (shout out Bermuda Coffee Studio!), their lineup of beers and why they have so many core brands, the popularity of Pale Ales and Xtra Pale Ales in Australia, their approach to their food program and why it's so exceptional, Cee's incredible experience at the brewery with the food, why they attract such a diverse crowd, why they chose shared tables for the taproom, and where they plan to take it from here. They got into five 3806 bangers: Hazy Pale Ale, West Coast IPA, Hazy IPA, Pale Ale, and Oat Cream IPA. This was such a gem - cheers! 🥘
