The area of Ontario west of Toronto is home to some of the finest breweries in the province, and one that has gone under the radar for us here at BAOS is Flux Brewery in Scotland, ON - until now. Co-Founder Jeremy and Head Brewer Aidan joined Cee and Nate to chat about the brewery's humble beginnings, their Oktoberfest celebrations and the connection it has to the region, their approach to their range of beers, the resurgence of West Coast IPAs, the intention of their cozy and welcoming brewpub (to forget where you are for an hour or so), Jeremy's love of haze, and their position as a destination brewery. They ran through six gems from their range - Festbier Munich Oktoberfest Lager, Drawing Boast NE Pale Ale, Oakland Cellar ESB, Kiss That Frog West Coast IPA, Corduroy Darkbier and Etcetera New England IPA. This was a truly dope conversation and the beers were spectacular - cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads
