Episode 3 of the Beercast features an interview with Cody Lobreau of beercrank.ca.

Cody started reviewing the beers at his local Liquor Mart in the golden age of blogging, and the Beercrank continues to be a great resource for Beerheads.  (It also features the best section on the web for non-alcoholic brews).

The episode also features a quick squint at the re-opening of two breweries in Winnipeg under the Manitoba government’s restaurant regulations.  Also, Brad sings the praises of Half Pints’ classic coffee beer, Stir Stick Stout.

Episode 2 of the Beercast answers the long-standing question: When the heck is Brandon getting a craft brewery?

The answer is soon, as Black Wheat Brewing (www.blackwheatbrewing.ca) is starting to ship product into the Brandon market, and is putting the finishing touches on their 10th Street home.

We talk to Ted Birch, part of the group spearheading the project, about the challenges of putting a brewery into a pre-existing building, and the importance of having a “lawn mower beer” in the product mix.  Also, a discussion on how post-COVID industry changes have made it a little easier to get your hands on your favorite craft beer, and another edition of “Beer in the Wild”.
