239 - The Tell-All Tankard

It’s time for another dive into the Question Jar! (or should we say, the Tell-All Tankard?) In this episode, Tori and Jo catch up after a hectic week, cracking open a couple of colourful beers—including one that turns your tongue blue—and sharing what’s been going on in their lives. From Aussie Schwarzbiers to imperial gelato sours, there’s plenty of tasting chat and spontaneous tangents sparked by what’s in our glasses. Also: plushies, ice cream nostalgia, and why a gumball at the bottom of your Mr. Whippy might be the hill you die on. Food and beer pairing gets its moment in the spotlight, with us discussing our favourite comfort meals and the beers we’d choose to go with them—whether it’s spicy tacos with a juicy NEIPA or a fresh salad with a zingy gose. There’s also time for beer memories, from Tori’s Tokyo sunset pint to Joanne’s cruise ship Sam Adams epiphany, plus thoughts on how we share (or don’t share) our beer fridges with guests. Spoiler: if you’re offered something from the stash, you know you’re loved. June also means Pride Month, so there’s a passionate discussion about supporting queer breweries all year round—not just for the rainbow beer photo op. Tori shares her work beer fridge win, and Joanne recommends a few books from her Prideopoly reading challenge. Camping plans, upcoming travel, and the eternal challenge of choosing the right beers to pack for a weekend away round out a warm, funny, and wide-ranging episode.
