This time on This Pint Has 20 Ounces we raise a glass with the Brad Smylie, owner/operator of the recently expanded RAW Distillery, and with Alison Planche from the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s community engagement team. During the break we’re sitting down with Mama T again to get to know her and ourselves a bit better.

Our first guest is Brad Smylie, owner/operator of Canmore's RAW Distillery, is outrageously modest for the huge things he’s achieved. Their unique spirits just recently won a silver medal in San Francisco’s World Spirits Competition. Looking at their product line it is undeniable that RAW is breaking the mould, include their Best in Class White Rye and their legendary Peppercorn Gin. Their rye is made with 100% real rye grain (no corn here!) and their beers are made with 100% unmalted barley. Their spirits can be found on the shelves of many Co-op and Sobeys wine & spirits stores, and they can regularly be found at farmer’s markets around the province. But if you’d like to drink their beer you’ll need to go visit their brand new 3 story facility in Canmore, which includes not just their 5 keg system that runs directly to their taps, but also a world class restaurant they created in collaboration with The Blake.

We know Mama T is a great source of advice in turbulent times, but she also has a reputation for making us reflect on ourselves. This episode we chat about which sitcoms T and the guys would be at home in (Three’s Company for T, and Alf for Josh!) and later we debate who would play T when Calgary’s film industry finally creates a Mama T biopic.

After the break we sit down with self-proclaimed “professional beggar” Alison Planche. Alison works with the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s community engagement team, and has played a big part in the “make your own fundraiser” program, which has led to awesome events for an awesome cause like Old Crow Tattoo Shop’s heart tattoo event “Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve.” We talk about how to keep your heart healthy even if you’re a lover of beer and smoked meat sandwiches: everything in moderation. Alison also fills us in on the yearly Ski For Heart event at Chateau Lake Louise, a combined cozy ski weekend and bumpin’ party, and tickets for the 2020 event will be on sale soon!
