Beer and Bullsh*t

#55 - BFFs 4 EVA

When their guest backs out of this week’s show, Ben and Chris opt to take a quiz to see how much they know about each other. Tune in for TMI, including their dream jobs, embarrassing sexual encounters, Chris’ trip to the east coast, and how Buck Martinez likes his hot dogs. 

#54 - Scott Simmons

Ben chats with Scott Simmons, the President of the Ontario Craft Brewers association, about provincial taxes for brewers, the future of retail craft beer in Ontario, codes of conduct, what's in his beer fridge, and more. 

#53 - Cass Enright

Ben and guest co-host Chris Schryer chat with International Man of Beer Mystery Cass Enright about the early days of The Bar Towel, the Free Our Beer Campaign, and tourism and hospitality in Ontario -- plus we demonstrate an embarrassingly poor knowledge of vexillology. 

#52 - Do it doucement

Ben and Chris discuss three year-old pale ales, cheesy, sexist beer labels, True Lies, the World Beer Mile, and the Pell’s Corner Japanese spin-off.

#51 - Music of Tim Bruce Johnson

A solo Ben chats beer news and pint sizes and shares some music from Regina-based singer songwriter Tim Bruce Johnson. 

#50 - Fiftieth episode mailbag extravaganza

To celebrate the show's fiftieth episode, Ben and Chris delve deep into the Beer and Bullshit inbox and social media DMs to answer all your burning questions. Come for the competitive eating, hangover talk, pints vs. flights debate, and food trucks, but stay for the "woke" brewery exploration, real talk about LeBron, and the reason you should hate guys named Chet. 

#49 - Matt Tweedy

Ben and Chris talk to Matt Tweedy of Tooth and Nail Brewery about the Ottawa beer scene and why draught is king, and ponder whether or not craft beer has gotten too serious, or if maybe it isn't serious enough. Plus 13 year-old dictators, taking over people's bodies, and shameless plugs to buy Beer and Bullshit merchandise! 

#48 - Rob Arsenault

Ben and Chris chat with Rob Arsenault, aka The Drunk Polkaroo, about his prolific content creation and the beer scene in Hamilton; plus bats, walking your cat, and an awkward but well-intentioned segment on men’s health! 

#47 - I’ll race your daughter right now

Ben and Chris drink a “lambic” beer and talk about it a bit, challenge the kids of their neighbourhood to various feats of strength and combat, and debate the merits of Starbucks’ newest offering. Plus Ben issues a “would you rather" challenge and Hunter talks about working for a bowling magazine and brings Dave an explosive gift.

#46 - Gavin Anderson

Ben and Chris chat with Gavin Anderson of Anderson Craft Ales and talk about ushering in the short can craze, being the first craft brewery in Ontario to use CO2 capture technology, and straightforward branding as a symptom of poor creativity; plus they debate mandatory singing vs. mandatory dancing, the ability to stop time, and alibi-busting tattoos.
