In this special mini-sode, Blair visits Joe and Lindsey, co-founders of Grain & Grit Brewing Co. in Hamilton, Ontario.

They talk about how the background and vision of their brewery and how they try to give back to the community. We also talked about Max who is a 7-year-old boy from the Hamilton/Dundas area who has Duchenne Muscular Dystropy, a degenerative muscle disorder. Grain & Grit, in collaboration with Max and his family have made Max's Big Beer, a Milkshake IPA with Peach & Vanilla and 50 cent from every can sold will go to Jesse's Journey, which is searching for a cure for Duchenne at the University of Toronto Mississauga.

Lindsey and Joe also tell us about some great things they have coming up in the future, including the Ainslie Wood Community Market, and some exciting beers.
