Episode #8: Link Up | Liam Moat and Gordo Jones of Nickel Brook Brewing
The third drop from Link Up's Series 2 keeps us in Ontario with an OG brewery - Nickel Brook. Marketing guru Liam Moat and Head Brewer Gordo Jones (fresh from Vancouver) joined Tiff and Cee to crack open their Link Up offering, a 6.1% IPA with Citra, Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin and Magnum hops. They chatted about the various diversity and equality initiatives they've participated in, why it's important the taproom looks like the outside world, and how programs like Link Up and Black Is Beautiful create valuable conversations. Cheers!
About the Link Up season:
We're back with a brand new season of BAOS Podcast, and this one is something very special and very close to us. We'll be focusing this entire season on Link Up, a non-profit started by the good folks behind Microbrasserie 5e Baron in Aylmer, QC and Tiffany and Cee here at BAOS and High Season Co. Our aim with this program is to help BIPOC from underrepresented communities learn about and enter the craft beer industry in essentially any area they wish - from a brewing apprentice to taking the Cicerone course for front-of-house opportunities, from hop farming to the yeast lab, from beer media to design and photography, we're here to help diversify an industry that is in dire need of it.
