Episode #204: For The Love Of Quality with James Wilson and Derek Cartlidge of Blue Mountain Brewing Co. | Adjunct Series

Formerly known as Thornbury Craft Co., and before that King Brewery, Blue Mountain Brewing Co. is the newest incarnation of the brewery we've been enjoying since 2002. CFO of owners Colio Estate Wines Derek Cartlidge and Brewmaster James Wilson joined Cee on the pod to chat about the eclectic history of the brand, why the recent name change, why the Blue Mountains is the Apple Capital of Canada and how that lead to their award-winning ciders, the make-up of their core range and how they decide on seasonals, their incredible new kitchen, how Colio Wines came to own Thornbury Craft Co., their first barrel-aged beers, the history of their century-plus year old building in Thornbury, and their thoughts on the tariffs and interprovincial beer business. They got into six Blue Mountain bangers - Light Lager, Belgian Witbier, Slope Side Passion Fruit, Orange & Guava Sour, Blueberry Pomegranate Sour, Peak Shadows Oatmeal Stout, and Baltic Porter. This was super fun - the audio breaks up a little but bare with it, it works out just fine! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads
