This episode we're joined by Mitch Belot, local purveyor of good old fun Saturday night music, Mamma T returns to answer your questions, and our second guest is Kyle Geeraert from Origin Malting & Brewing, the source of Wild Rose Brewery's barley malt.

Our first guest this week is Mitch Belot, joining us to plug the band's upcoming album. Josh confesses his fandom for the swampy blues-rock band, and gushes over their performance at a recent show here at the Wild Rose Taproom. Later, the guys try out some soon-to-be rejected catchphrases for the brewery, and each of their experiences having a couple too many pints and getting a little too before playing a show.

When Mamma T makes her return to the show she helps Josh re-establish his confidence, and talks with Jonathan about dressing for the job you want, not the job you have.

In this episode's second half we're joined by Kyle Geeraert of Origin Malting & Brewing. Origin is not only the suppier of malt barley for Wild Rose Brewing, but also for US-based Lagunitas, a journey that began way back on what Kyle refers to as "Barley Freedom Day," when the Canadian Wheat Board was abolished and opened up the market for barley farmers to sell directly to their clients. What originally began as a way to bring some vertical integration to the family farm, Origin grows and malts their own barley, and brews their own beer. This century old farm is the pinnacle of Alberta ingenuity and pioneering spirit.
