What if your next craft beer could change your perspective on brewing entirely? Join us in this exciting episode of the Afternoon Pint as we sit down with Craft Beer Girl, aka Barb, at the Garrison Oxford Tap Room. Discover how Barb's first taste of Breton Brewing's Black Angus in February 2022 ignited a passion for craft beer, leading her to explore Nova Scotia's rich beer diversity. From her initial hesitance to her ambitious goal of sampling 100 different craft beers, Barb's journey is a testament to the thriving craft beer scene in the region and the challenges breweries face with limited promotion from the NSLC.Ever wondered how the quality of water impacts the taste of your beer? Barb and Matt dive deep into the nuances of beer styles and brewing methods, discussing everything from the crispness of glacier water-like beers to the bold flavours of IPAs and bourbon imperial stouts. We reveal personal preferences, reminisce about cherished beer moments, and share the joy of discovering hidden gems like Cape Breton's scenic hikes and family trips. Special shout-outs go to unique breweries like Steam Whistle in Toronto and Two Crows' experimental flavors, emphasizing that beer appreciation is as diverse as the flavors themselves.We also explore the vibrant craft beer community and the role of social media in connecting enthusiasts and promoting local breweries. From our love for unfiltered beers to the influence of mood on beer choices, our conversation is filled with personal anecdotes and insightful discussions. Listen in as we touch on iconic moments, like savoring a  North Brewing Malternate Reality during a memorable flood, and exciting upcoming events like the Science of Beer at the Discovery Center.
