Domestic Pints ONLY

This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, John and Tom returned back from vacation and felt like clearing through some backlog, so we compiled some random beers we had in our collection to see which one would be this week's winner. First up is the selection from Dominion City: CIVIC PILSNER. Next up is a selection brewed in partnership with Spearhead Brewery and the Society of Beer Drinking Ladies: CHERRY DARK LAGER. The last selection is one from an old favourite, Cowbell Brewing Co., called JUICED SEAGULL. Outside of the beers, we also discussed our recent trip to Winnipeg and our experiences with their craft beer scene. We also discussed: Sasha Baron Cohen's divorce; organic snacks; coca cola on draught; I Think You Should Leave; and piss drinking.

We'll be back next week with most likely another seltzer series.

It's been a while since we last discussed seltzers, so we decided to kick off the emergent 2024 seltzer season by profiling the new tequila soda mixed pack by Cottage Springs Beverage Co. This box features four flavours: Pineapple, Grapefruit, Lime, and Mango. Along the way we also discussed: The Simpsons; Honey We Shrunk Ourselves; bad snacks; road beers; the upcoming NFL season and some recent changes on our teams; Kawhi Leonard; banned in Canada food dyes; and Tom also discussed his recent trip to the Alberta Beer Festival (shout out to One For The Road Brewing Co.)

We'll be back following the Easter holidays with another craft beer lineup.

This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, John and Tom return back to some familiar material, sampling a selection of more conventional lagers from the craft beer scene. First up, we embrace the cottage mindset with the satisfying LITTLE ISLAND LEMON LAGER. Next up is a selection from a recent episode, New Level Brewing, as we dive into HELLION LAGER. We wrap things up with our first Flying Monkeys beer, the pumpkin lager THEATRE OF MADNESS. We efficiently crushed these beers, but we did have some time to chat about: cottage mindset; safety meetings; yacht rock; British power metal; Grateful Dead bootlegs; and the LCBO food sampling stations.

We'll be back next week with another miscellaneous craft mix (trying to clean up some old cupboard stock before the summer!)

This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, John and Tom head to Toronto to sample some beers from the popular craft joint: Burdock Brewery. After introducing the brewery we get into the beers. First, the tasty helles-style lager, the Dad-vibey DELUXE. Next up is the futuristic lookin' VERMONT BLONDE. We wrap things up by forming a 'Flying V' and skating over to the DUCKS IPA. Because two of the three beers were small cans, we wrapped this episode pretty quick. However, along the way we did chat about: Murdoch Mysteries; Maury Povich; Billy Madison; the Dune 2 popcorn bucket; Brass Monkey; and Karen Carpenter. Boy did we cover a lot of ground.

We'll be back next week with a craft lager lineup

For close to a year, the masses have told us "we want another stout episode!" Finally, on this week's episode of Domestic Pints ONLY, we return back to the world of craft stouts. We profile a hodgepodge lineup from across the country, the first result being Brock Street Brewing Company's MILK CHOCOLATE STOUT from Whitby, Ontario. We switch over to Alberta, to profile the ICE CUTTER vanilla latte stout, courtesy of Sylvan Lake's Snake Laker Brewing. Our final selection is the unique ROOT BEER FLOAT STOUT by Toronto's Lost Craft Brewery. It was nice to return to one of our favourite kinds of beer. Along the way we also discussed: our teachers at Jockvale Elementary School and their strong memories; refrigeration before the advent of electricity, music; and what the ASMR acronym stands for.

We'll be back next week with a Toronto craft lineup.

Welcome to 2024! On this week's episode of Domestic Pints ONLY, we were happy to be joined by Curtis (John's co-host of The Seat Struck Movie Podcast), making his long awaited return. For this episode, we checked back on COLLECTIVE ARTS BREWING to discuss another lineup of tasty beverages. First up was the super low ABV 'BEYOND REASON' micro IPA. Next up was the optimal breakfast beer, the DAILY FORECAST: MIMOSA. Last was more domestic-styled COLLECTIVE LAGER. Along the way, Curtis and John recapped their night at House of Targ; discussed goldfish as pets; talked about mimosas; and had a brief chat on farting. We are men of multitudes.

Seasons greetings! On this special holiday episode, we decided to honour college students around the nation who are having their post-exam parties, cleaning up their pantries and fridges as they prepare to move, and discovering a mix of random beers. Today we profile three random drinks: PABST BLUE RIBBON LIGHT; BUD LIGHT MANGO; and lastly the PABST GROOVY LEMON STRONG ICED TEA. Along the way we chatted a bit about: our favourite Christmas songs; washing hats; Kid Rock ending his Bud Light boycott; 90s Batman movies; a quick rant about seltzers; Alex Jones; and DPOs proximity in the culture war.

This may be out last episode before the year ends. On that note, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy the holidays, we will be back soon with a special (and familiar) guest for another Ontario craft lineup

To be completely honest, the impetus for doing this episode was a desire to clear up our backlog. So for this week's Domestic Pints ONLY, John and Tom discuss a series of random craft lager—some of which have been in our possession for a couple of years. First up is the 100th MERIDIAN AMBER LAGER by Mill Street. Next up LONGHORN LAGER from Uxbridge, Ontario. The last item is the COFFEE LAGER by Sidelaunch Brewing Company (which as of this recording is currently unavailable to purchase, but keep your eyes open). Along the way we chat about: Christmas shopping; The Tragically Hip-Mill Street lawsuit; $10 pitchers of beer at college bars; Toronto slang; cannabus-induced paranoia; and pelicans. While we went into this episode with some apprehension, we left pleasantly surprised.

Next episode will be either an Alberta beer lineup... or another backlog episode. Stay tuned!

After yet another short hiatus (sorry, John was on vacation), Domestic Pints ONLY is back to discuss another lineup from TOWN SQUARE BREWING CO. It's almost been one year since we last profiled them, and in that year our co-host Tom has moved to a neighbourhood much closer to their brew pub, so we talk a bit about Tom's experiences going to the brewery. Our lineup this week starts with the reliable MOVING DAY LAGER. Next one up is the unique and smoky rauchbier PRAIRIE FIRE. Last is a beer released via partnership with Edmonton's The Tea Lady: the PEACH SANGRIA WHITE TEA SOUR. Along the way we chatted about: Halloween; overalls; engineers; the song 'Get Low'; craft beer in NYC; junior chicken vs. McChicken; Pokemon; Zyn; and tasteless tattoos. We had a fun time catching up, and look forward to sampling some more TOWN SQUARE beers in the future.

After a brief break, Domestic Pints ONLY is happy to be back, and on Thanksgiving to boot, for episode 130!

Next, we run through the lineup. We hit the road with the MX287 cerveza. Up next is lagered ale HUMILITY. Lastly, we wrap with the blonde ale BIRD DOG. Tom and John needed some time to catch up so along the way we chatted about a lot of stuff: Thanksgiving, Chats Falls and the mystery of the solar wheel (see the show notes below); Alan Jackson and Reba McEntire; a BDSM-themed brewery; John's Kingston story; and getting cat-called in a positive manner.

We start off with one of the wildest beers we have every profiled, the ORANGE DEMON creamsicle sour. Next up is the more traditional SEA WITCH passionfruit sour. We wrap things up by chatting the boozy SPACE WOLF galaxy IPA. Along the way we discuss: Barrhaven grocery stores; Uh Oh!; Tom and Evan's wolf story; and rant about IPA haters.

We were very impressed by these craft seltzers, and we would pick this over most domestic choices.

Along the way we discussed: Vizzy; surfing in Tofino; Drumheller residents; pomelos; school of hard knocks; and watermelon white claw haters.

After recently celebrating Canada Day we were in the mood for some classic Canadian drinks, so this week on Domestic Pints ONLY we returned to the world of CANNED CAESARS. The lineup for this episode is the LIFE RAFT vodka caesar, and two selections by MOTTS: Original, and Pickled Bean. Before getting to the lineup we did a quick little caesar recap, and after the discussion we also had an extended chat about the Seat Struck Movie Podcast (Tom is appearing this week as a guest!). Overall, we're still not the biggest fan of canned caesars, but if you want something to recreate a caesar in a pinch, these are a nice choice.

Next week we will likely be returning with more seltzers.

It's been a while since we did a cider episode, so why not delve into some craft ciders (that coincidently are produced by a brewery we discussed last year)? That's right, we're talking COWBELL BREWING hard ciders. We recap Cowbell before drinking and discussing the lineup from their mixed box: original, rose, and peach. We were pretty thirsty and drank through these varied drinks in record time, so not a whole lot of off topic discussion this week. Overall, these were solid!

Next week we return to Ottawa for another Beyond the Pale spotlight.

This week we're back with more seltzers, this time chatting the TRULY PUNCH MIX PACK. We sampled the four flavours: Citrus, Tropical, Fruit and Berry. We spent some time discussing the Truly seltzer brand before digging into the drinks. Along the way we also chatted about: aspartame; codeine; Gen Z smoking; university parties; and John shares his legendary OC Transpo 95 Barrhaven story. We were somewhat mixed on the drinks themselves, but these are definitely a good option for those of you who like your sweeter, fruiter beverages.

Next week we will return to the Edmonton craft beer scene with another brewery lineup!
