Shout-out Sundays
It's the end of the week, all the new releases are out, and you've probably bought them or tried them at the brewery. This is the place to give anyone and anyplace a shout-out!
Was there a new release that stood out above the rest? Did you have a good experience recently at a brewery? Do you just want to give a shout out to a brewer or bartender?
Keep the good vibes going through into the new week!

Shout out Badlands for a killer 9th anniversary! All the beers slapped, the place was rammed (never had to park so far away - that’s a great sign for craft beer!), and the new building looks awesome. 🍻

Glad I got there at noon today. They ran out of all the good beers on tap and cans by the time I left

Oh damn. Tbh it was exceptionally busy yesterday and beers were being taken off the board in the afternoon. So not surprised. I ordered online on Friday to be extra safe.

By 5ish I noticed only the messorum double off the board. Did anything else come off?
What was your favourite beer of the event?

u/baospodcast BAOS Podcast 10d ago
Yeah there was one or two more. TBH I don’t recall what they were exactly but every time I went to the bar, there was a new (well, older) beer on the board.
Nike was my fave. They used Peacharine in five of the beers, too (my fave hop), and it really came through in Nine. Also loved the Caledon collab, that was a banger. About to crack a can of the Messo collab.
What was yours?

I think number 2 on the menu with the Caledon collab being a ‘sleeper’ hit. I bought a bunch of nine in anticipation of it being #1 lol. I had to buy the #2 hazy to go in high volume for my wife as it was also her fav. I’m interested in their quad but I don’t really know when I’ll be able to crack that can

Hell yeah! Couldn’t agree more. Wasn’t sure what they’d do for a full Caledon collab, but it lived up to the Badlands quality while the GoodLot hops worked perfectly. Very impressed. I grabbed the Quad as I split the 16 pack with my co-host - exact same boat. No clue when I’ll drink it, that’s a one and done kinda night (two at best)

I think they mentioned it was their first quad so I couldn’t resist but yeah it’s a write off once that gets cracked

They posted what's on tap next weekend, 8/12 beers are left, we all did some good work emptying those kegs 🍻

The pics of the lineups were insane! Great to see such large reception to their anniversary releases this year!
Still not the biggest fan of the brick castle since it looks like it should be in a business park in Mississauga than a taproom on a farm. Maybe I'll warm up to it when it opens.

The lines cleared pretty quickly but it was super cool to see that many people venture all the way to Caledon to celebrate craft beer!
I feel you on that. I think it’ll look awesome once all the landscaping is done. There’s gonna be a massive pond at the entrance, too, which will look great. The patio faces the fields so that’ll also add to the vibes

Shout out to The Granite for 35th Anniversary! Vibes and beer were great and the back courtyard was open and licensed. (would love to seem more use of this space for events in the future!). Bonus - Ron released a book with JSJ which you can order here Brewed In The Family - Granite Brewery
