I don’t need to go through the cicerone process to have a full understanding of flavour profiles. I also don’t need to have a full understanding of flavour profiles to know what is “good” and what is not “good” Winnipeg’s biggest problem in the brewing process is its water. It’s too hard and nobody invests the time, effort or capital into a solution, because that takes away from a brewery’s primary function - profit. The second problem is that because of our market, every brewery’s favourite adjunct into a beer is “local” - we are roughly 3-5 years behind the rest of the country in terms of process and technique. We have exactly one brewery (Kilter) with an established barrel program, we have almost zero clout outside of our own provincial border other than just networking collaborations (although this is going to be changing soon) and the breweries typically rely on “local” style branding to mask major flaws in their beers or overall lack of effort in the brewing process. There’s a reason TCB has to pay vendors for front row shelf space, there’s a reason Stone Angel shut down, there’s a reason Half Pints (gonna miss them, sad they went downhill) is up for sale. These places haven’t changed, never adapted and got lazy. I don’t need to be a cicerone to see that. Sookrams, Kilter and (sometimes) LBJ are the big three in Manitoba and it’s going to stay that way for a long time with reason. Nobody else wants to put the effort in, why bother when you can coast off local collaborations with charities, awareness causes and vendors because that’s all our market tends to care about because that’s all they’ve been taught to care about. We’re gonna see some evolution this summer / fall and I know you’re not going to believe me, but I’ll say it anyways - I’ve got quite a bit to do with it. Hopefully the change results in some positive progression moving forward, our market will be better for it. It’s going to be nice to see some Manitoba branding on beers brewed outside of this province.

I'd like to know what you're basing your opinion of Good and Bad on.... Is it personal preference, or did you go through the Cicerone process and have a full understanding flavour profiles and such?

Havnt heard that lol...I'd rather hear that than anything outta Kate's yap

Even when he calls touchdowns tuddies? lol

Lol... Yeah I don't mind him at all

He had a much better supporting cast by the looks of it. That Oline is brutal

Side note. Luke Willson is already better than Madani and Brit Dort in his first few minutes.

Well we all know it was Jake Thomas’s fault.

Fact we lost to a team QB'd by Arbuckle watching him tonight is pretty sad..

Yeah, they get the ball on the 30? The Argo put himself into the endzone. What would happen if a player intercepts a ball at the 5. Can they run into the endzone and then get the ball at the 30?

Als fans learned how to do the wave!! See there are other things to do than honking a Fkn horn!

I think the hazy IPAs that exist outside of Manitoba are far superior to anything we do inside this province and that *may* be part of the reason that Manitobans have a weird impression of them. Even Kilter (who I love) does a bad job of them these days. Inside Canada, the true champions of hazy IPAs are in Quebec (Messorem, Le Ketch, Bad Bones, Nano Cinco, Brewskey) or Ontario (Badlands, All My Friends) and I guess Alberta has a few top guns as well (Irrational, Polyrhythm, Establishment) but I would say overall, only Messorem/Ketch/Bad Bones can hang with the folks down south brb gonna go pour myself a beer

Huh....what's the call here? I think it's int. But then what? If he caught it while standing out of bounds in the endzone, that's just an incompletion right? If he caught it in bounds....and then stepped out inside the endzone...what happens then?

Sanchez is horrendous, his NFL analysis as well may be the worst/bland ive ever seen.

Mcmanis with a huge play there.

Arbuckle is still the same guy he always was. An underachieving Matt nichols.

Sanchez main point on anything QB related is how they have so much pressure on them to win. Have heard that point on 3 different QB's tonight.

Farhan with the big chubby

Nice to see their entire fan base travels with the club.

The face on the one Argo fan in the endzone seats 🤣

Interception and a fumble leading to a TD. In the first half. Think we have our answer

Nielsen has gotten much better compared to his first year.

What good is a qb throwing all over the place & 500 yards offense if they lose? I guess the consolation is the offeensse looked good burning to the ground. Brown threw all over the field. really didn't test the Rider defense on deep routes much. Basically Drew threw 3 touchdown passes but when he had to score late in the game he couldn't. JBR raves about his arm. I don't see it. He threw a lot of underneath & mid range passes. His accuracy was top notch but it wasn't good enough. He can't run to save his lif even when he's healthy. There seems to be no fire with Brown. Just a guy chillin' all the time. Guys in the huddle need to believe that he'll do whatever it takes to win. That was Jake Maier's problem. He inspires no one. The RedBlacks offense is Calgary 2.0. Brown will continue to put up big numbers but how many games will Ottawa win with that defense??

yeah because it would be so nice to have to NOT drive all the way to the states for Culvers and at least we have more than one Olive Garden....I'm old enough to remember when we had more than one Red Lobster and I think the other was on Henderson

Fletcher would be a natural for the Stamps offense.
