Episode #237: A Beer Fan First with Greg Gnyś of Counterpart Brewing | Adjunct Series

Our Brewery of the Year for 2024, Niagara Falls, ON's Counterpart has just kept on winning, dropping world-class barrel-aged beers, impeccable hazy IPAs and offering some of the best food options in a brewery in the country. Co-Founder Greg Gnyś jumped back on the pod for the third time to catch up on what's been happening since his last appearance, the opening of their sister pizza spot, Counterpie, how their Flow Fest craft beer festival went down in 2025 and what to expect in 2026, the evolution of their barrel program and how exceptional it is, their recent seventh anniversary releases, why they worked with Western New York breweries for their last anniversary and why they rocked with Quebec breweries this year, the Counterpart x BAOS 10th anniversary collaboration, bottle shares and how Greg gets hold of the best stuff in the US, and how they're growing their footprint across the province. We cracked the entire seventh anniversary lineup - Folklore Czech-style Amber Lager collaboration with Jackalhop, Seven New England Pale Ale, Dead Sea 2 NEIPA collaboration with Le Ketch, Dream Taker Double NEIPA collaboration with Brasserie Sir John, Strange Beast Triple NEIPA collaboration with Nano Cinco, Empire (Macadamia Nut) Imperial Pastry Stout collaboration with Brasserie du Bas-Canada, Empire (Hazelnut Coffee) Imperial Pastry Stout collaboration with Brasserie du Bas-Canada, Zombie Party (Smooth Libre) Smoothie Sour collaboration with Brasserie du Bas-Canada and Brasserie Sir John, and Zombie Party (Tropics Syrup) Smoothie Sour collaboration with Nano Cinco and Jackalhop. This was a banger - cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads
