We went to the Nita brewery to sit with Andy and chat about the new Ottawa Beer Collective Spring Box.

After our chat about the Spring Box we got to talking about Nita itself and their upcoming plans. This is part 2 of the interview with Andy.

The Sping Box is a 12 pack of beers from breweries in the Ottawa area collected in one box and available for delivery from Operation Come Home or Canada Post. As well as in local Beer Stores in Ottawa and Toronto.

If you’re a brewery and want to be included reach out to Andy at Nita.

Katy (@klwatts) is joined by Chuck Thibert (@varxint) and Dan Beaudoin to chat about Brasserie Étienne Brûlé (@brasserieeb) and what made him make the big move from Toronto to Embrun to brew beer! Show Notes:

• Just in case you need more information about who Étienne Brûlé is (isn't it nice that you get a history lesson with your beer?).
• I will admit I have a domain registering addiction and it took all of my will power not to stop the podcast and register those domains.
• Ecocert is a Canadian organization that certifies organic producers, processors and distributors. It's pretty rigorous; to be certified you have to be audited yearly and there are surprise audits.
• I think the restaurant that Dan is talking about is Pure Kitchen Ottawa.
• Dan is putting me through my paces this episode. Biofine Clear is a fining agent that helps clarify beer. Unlike gelatin or isinglass (made of fish bladders), Biofine Clear is vegan friendly. If you are into reading about fining agents and whether its vegan-ness has any affect on taste (spoiler: it doesn't) you can read this interesting exbeeriment.
• The Windsor is a local tavern in Vankleek Hill. Well known to be a hangout for the Beau's crowd and host to great bands and even better after parties.
• There website now (kind of) works, although it's mostly a showcase of instagram photos.
• Dan is referencing /r/TheBrewery and ProBrewer.com.
• We've talked about Cask Days before on the show. It truly is something that every beer fan has to experience at least once (or yearly).
• Oh those long German words, so hard to pronounce.
• Here's more information on how taxation has affected the Japanese beer industry - it's fairly interesting.
• Watch out! Dan is going to convert all of Embrun to craft beer - and that's great!
• Be fancy and serve your lambics using a basket!
• Things I will work on - not saying "really good" as a beer description on the podcast.

Beer:

• Vagabond (Blonde Ale)
• L'embrunoise (Witbier)
• Bohemien De Notre-Dame (Czech Pilsner)
• Citrale (American IPA)
• 5W30 (American Stout)
• La Combattante (Saison)

You have no idea..

Katy (@klwatts) invited Shane and Rob from Beyond the Pale Brewing Company (@btpbrewing) to her apartment to record a podcast. Little did she know what she was getting into.. Show Notes:

• I sometimes wonder how I get all of these people to come into my apartment. Oh right, beer.
• A beer a day for 41 years - that's job security.
• It's true, the hotel I stayed at in Mexico did blow up.
• Gainsbourg is a brewpub in Gatineau that JB used to brew at. It was known to serve some fantastic beers. I've heard mixed reviews recently.
• The amount of beer delivery options available in the United States is staggering. 
• I am now actively trying to sabotage Beyond the Pale's opening at City Center.
• Huh, summer 2015 ehhhhhhhhh?
• But anyway, murals at breweries are a thing I guess (although these are from breweries who are actually open).
• Sour beers are trending, along with Beyond the Pale's Hamilton location going a bit funky Ottawa has a new brewer that's exclusively brewing sour (Small Pony Barrel Works).
• In case you didn't see the 'Gose Island' label.
• In case you didn't know who Gary Glitter is.
• "There's only so much beer you can drink. Drink all the best ones!" - Shane Clark
• Beyond the Pale's 4th Birthday Party is December 3rd and tickets are still available!

• Aromatherapy
• Juicy Dream
• Pink Funk
• My Bourbon Milkshake
• Saison Tropicale
