Hosted by Troy Burtch, Between Two Fermenters, a podcast brought to you by Toronto's Great Lakes Brewery, is your go-to deep dive for all things craft beer from an insider perspective.
On this inaugural episode, Troy is joined by Peter Bulut (Owner/President) and Mike Lackey (Brewing Operations Manager) to take a trip down memory lane as GLB turns 37 years young on February 12. The fellas share some stories they've never told before, talk about the struggles and challenges of owning a craft brewery, burning beer, chasing down a keg thief, give some predictions for beer in 2024, and lots more. Go behind the scenes with these two industry legends to learn more about the history of GLB. "Oh, the stories we could tell."
Learn about "Hop Creep" with Cole Raiskums during our "Coles Notes" segment. Raiskums, the Quality Assurance Lab Supervisor with GLB, talks about an interesting phenomenon in brewing science that was recently discovered called hop creep. Also, discover what's going down at the GLB Brewpub with Emma Worthy. "Brewpub Corners" belongs to Worthy, the General Manager of GLB's second location, where she'll spill the beans each episode on new specials, highlighting events, and telling stories about Toronto's Eastern Waterfront.
Burtch wraps up the episode with the "Around the Industry" segment of the pod, talking about Ontario beer taxes... and how the government needs to modernize the tax structure to help the industry continue to grow. Did you know that Ontario breweries pay the highest beer tax in Canada?
