Students, as a group, are justly famous for their ability to put away impressive amounts of cheap beer. With classes resuming in September, this show samples some of the less expensive beer available around Edmonton to find out if cheap price always equates to cheap taste. Shane Groendahl of Edmonton Beer Geeks Anonymous also joins in for a free range discussion about local beer, and has his first taste of hallowed hipster brew Pabst Blue Ribbon live on-air.

Talking Pints

Episode #8

Shakespeare said that all the world was a stage, and all the men and women merely players, but Shakespeare was a lazy swine who couldn't even be bothered to write his own plays. The world is not a stage but a bar, and each of us gathered there for a pint and a chat until the indomitable bouncer shows us the door. Sherbrooke Liquor's Talking Pints exists to document the events of that bar, or at least those that take place around Edmonton-- the conversations, characters, and beverages that make them up. Each month, the affable and ill-informed Lewis Kelly tracks down a different local brewing luminary for a topical talk on all things related to Edmonton beer. The show explains the wonderful and sometimes bewildering world of beer to the non-expert, and introduces the movers-and-shakers of the local brewing landscape.
