#146 Derek Emerson

Derek is a founding member of Toronto’s MSI (more stupid initials). MSI was a band that started in the late 80’s and was together until the early 90’s. Derek has also made a documentary on one man bands and is now writing a book on the Toronto Hard Core scene from the 80’s. This is a subject that is close to Derek’s heart and the book is scheduled for a 2018 release. I would like to welcome to the Podcast my new sponsor!! Beaus All Natural Beer. https://beaus.ca/ Full Time I.P.A. In three words: Hoppy, fruity, bold. It’s our newest full time brand, which is where we got the name! Tasting notes: Full Time I.P.A. pours hazy deep gold with a dense white foam. Aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and pine abound. The flavour mirrors the aroma impressions with pronounced juicy fruit. A balanced bitterness underpins the flavour. This medium bodied ale finishes dry with lingering hop and fruit notes. Lug Tread In three words: Crisp, balanced, refreshing. Lug Tread is a lagered ale (a term we coined!), it’s top-fermented like an ale, and cold-aged like a lager. It’s been our flagship brand since we opened in 2006. As of 2017, it’s now available in 355ml cans for the first time. It’s won more than 20 awards. Tasting notes: Lug-Tread pours a brilliantly clear straw gold, with rocky white foam. A Graham cracker malt character mingles with notes of freshly cut hay and a subtle touch of apple. Sweet, grainy malt is followed by balanced hop bitterness, and the finish is clean and dry.
