613BeerCast #63 - Beer Trade #1: Hamilton
Released: Aug 1, 2017
Hamilton is becoming quite the beer hot spot! Thanks to Brewtrippers and a quickly formed beer swap over Twitter we're able to sample several beer treats from THE HAMMER.
Show Notes: Our very first beer trade! Cheers to Sean and Jenn at Brewtrippers for swapping beers with us - we really enjoyed drinking some new to us beer from new to us breweries! If anyone else is interested in trading beers drop us a line at info@613.beer! Beer trades have been happening forever, I guess it has it's own subculture. We have great plans for this podcast not to mention plans to better the world, plans to take over the world.. all discussed after the podcast is finished recording. Beer styles - what is a Grisette? Mixed fermentation brewing has been a bit of a trend lately. Expect to hear more of that with other breweries soon. Fairweather's bottle labels have the same stylings of this type of button up shirt. Yeah, I think you want to sit, eat and drink at MERIT too! These are Rockets and these are Smarties in Canada. What does rye contribute in beer? Are flagships necessary anymore? Don't forget your beer math: 1 barrel (bbl) = 1.17 hectoliters (hl) = 117 liters (l) = 344 bottles of beer = 195 Canadian pints Beer List: Grisette - Fairweather Brewing Company Silky - Fairweather Brewing Company Chanan - MERIT Brewing Young Rival - MERIT Brewing Pineapple Rye Pale Ale - Grain & Grit Beer Company Subscribe: RSS: http://www.613beer.com/613beercast?format=rss iTunes: http://bit.ly/613BeerCast-iTunes Google Play: http://bit.ly/613BeerCast-Play YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/613Beer Join the Conversation!
