165 - Brewery Spotlight: Boréale (Artisan Series Box) (ft. Austin)

On the way back from a cottage weekend in beautiful Quebec, John picked up a special box of artisan releases by the popular microbrasserie Boréale . This week on Domestic Pints ONLY we discuss the brewery and then run through the box contents: the light ISA Des Chutes, the hoppy Pale Ale Des Bois, the honey sweet double Blanche Du Lac, and wrap things up with the "puffin beer", the IPA des Côtes. Joining us for the ride, for the first time, is friend of the show AUSTIN. Along the way we chat about: weird taste in glasses; Cabella hunting games; Motorace USA; urban fishing; the Pepsi Taste Challenge; and $10 breakfast at the strip club.Nous ne sommes pas fini! After sampling the first half of the UNIBROUE sample pack, this week John and Tom returned to go through the rest of the lineup. Starting with the lighter P'TITE MAUDITE variant, followed by DON DE DIEU, and the iconic LA FIN DU MONDE. Along the way we discussed: Parlez-Moi, Tom's visit to the Alberta Craft Beer Fest, John's Montreal hockey trip, finding vintage smut at flea markets, weird IG reels algorithm, and we mention getting featured on Feedspot's top Canadian Beer Podcasts (for real!).Next week we head to Ottawa for a new craft lineup!Timestamps:05:42 Beer#1 (ISA DES CHUTES)15:42 Beer#2 (PALE ALE DES BOIS)24:28 Beer#3 (DOUBLE BLANCHE DU LAC)41:39 Beer#4 (IPA DES COTES)01:01:247Wrap up, final scores, and conclusionCredits:https://www.boreale.com/produits/serie-artisan/Intro and closing song: "Drink Beer (Till the Day That I Die)" by Dazie Mae (www.daziemae.com)Artwork: IG @nartsattack (www.natalierivet.com)
