CRATER CONVERSATIONS EP32: SHAWN MAILLOUX

Welcome to another edition of Crater Conversations, a weekly show live on CKLU now on at a brand spanking new time Tuesday’s at 5PM! So, what exactly is the show all about? Join your host, Crater co-founder Jess, each week as we sit down with a local guest. We’ll talk about their projects, their passions, and the things they love about our little rock town! We’ll be sitting down with performers, entrepreneurs, community leaders – anyone with a story. Personal anecdotes, first inspirations, childhood follies, who knows where this will take us but we can’t wait to find out! Can’t catch the show on air? No worries, all our episodes will be posted online afterwards for easy listening. If you’re inclined to tune in live turn your radio dial to CKLU 96.7 or stream live at https://www.cklu.ca/ 5PM every Tuesday.

What could make cracking open a cold beer better? Knowing its been conceptualized, recipe concocted and carefully brewed, right here in Sudbury! Stack Brewing just celebrated its 5^th anniversary this summer with Burgergedon, their annual parking lot party which offered an epic feast of burgers from the Townehouse Tavern! It can be tough to recall a time before Stack became a staple in our fridges and beer sections but they sure have covered a lot of ground! From their mainline fair like Valley Girl, Saturday Night or Black Rock, to some of their more experimental brews like Lazer Hozen, Blood Orange Expansion, or Grano Picante. They’ve even branched into TV with their Letter Kenny collab, Puppers and tons of limited edition event brews like their UP festival IPA, or Changeover, their 5^th anniversary Brett IPA. Shawn Mailloux is the owner of Stack Brewing and we got into it about where he comes up with ideas for new brews, how Stack got started, Northern Ontario Microbrew Festival, and his preferred tunes while in the shop.
