Bens the type of host who’s not afraid to eat a burrito mid show, and this is the exact energy I’m looking for in a podcast about Ontario craft beer. Just the right amount of discussion of untapped (none)
I always assumed the Venn diagram of craft beer lovers and social justice/equity minded people was fairly small - me and my friends - but it turns out there’s a fair few, including Ben. It’s great to have someone championing inclusion and diversity in a meaningful way. It’s also a fun way to learn about the industry, a unique take on the Ontario craft beer scene and I dig the pot shots on Toronto, even though I’m a resident and former Londoner. Keep up the good work!
A show that makes me rethink the concept of Toronto being the centre of the universe.
Maybe London is where it’s at?
Great guests, and honest industry perspective that doesn’t always focus on the non stop fun time we have working.
Real talk. And then all that other stuff.
This guy will teach you the meaning of “CRAFT” beer.
As a lover of craft beer, I always wanted to see what’s behind the curtain. Ben’s high profile industry guests trust him and are relaxed when they tell all.
The listener feedback shows are my personal favourite, though. Funny stuff!
