9 - Stout Week (ft. Steve) (Mill Street vs. Siding 14 Brewing Company vs Eighty Eight Brewing Company vs. Polar Park Brewing Company)

This week on Domestic Pints ONLY, we mix things up by pivoting away from the usual domestic favourites to instead focus on a specific beer type: stouts! But we aren't going it alone, we're joined by our first guest--and noted stout aficionado-- Steve! With a new guest also comes a tweaked rating system, where we instead focus on the five C's (creamy, cascade, coffee/chocolate, colour, and content). This ep each of us picked a selected craft stout to drink and rate. First up is John, and due to a shipping issue he was unable to use his original choice, so we pivoted to the reliable MILL STREET COBBLESTONE NITRO STOUT. Our second stout comes courtesy of Steve and his hometown of Ponoka, Alberta: COAL PUSHER STOUT (by Siding 14 Brewing Company). Up next is Alex with his unique Calgary choice: GOOD MORNING VIETNAMESE COFFEE STOUT (by Eighty Eight Brewing Company). Tom concludes our ep with a choice out of Edmonton: KODIAK ISLAND CHOCOLATE OATMEAL STOUT ( by Polar Park Brewing Company). With the extra guest added this is our longest episode yet, but if that doesn't dissuade you we think you'll enjoy this eclectic selection of stouts from across the country.
