Producer Special S.2 E 10 – Support Local

Producer’s Special – S.2 E.10 – Support Local  
Well we wish 2022 could have started off on a better foot but once again Ontario has been placed in lockdown due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These restrictions have been especially hard on the service industry including craft breweries and restaurants.
In what was originally scheduled to be our 2022 Year in Review, we decided to push that episode off for 2 weeks and instead we wanted to highlight the craft breweries that have supported us since our inaugural episode in September 2020. 
This podcast was designed around craft breweries and to showcase what our provincial craft brewery scene has to offer. Be sure to check out our Instagram for shipping and delivery options from all of the breweries featured on the podcast thus far.

Producer Special S.2 E.6 – Leaving a Legacy

Thanks to dear friend of the Podcast, Trevor Wilhem, whom you might be familiar with from Producer’s Special Season 1 Episode 7 as Trevor provided the podcast another special beer. Last time Trevor generously shared a 4 pack of Bluebeary Ale from Trans Canada Brewing Company in Manitoba he received for working as an essential worker during the Pandemic. This time, Trevor purchased the 2021 Snoopys Legacy from Black Lab Brewing, a beer he rated a perfect 5/5 on Untappd! Tune in to see whether we enjoyed this beer as much as he did.
