Craft Breweries of the East Coast with Brooklyn Doran & Rory Taillon

Brooklyn Doran and Rory Taillon are two extraordinary musicians from Ontario. Brooklyn is a songwriter of incredible charm and talent, and Rory is a powerhouse vocalist and performer. Their careers has brought them to the East Coast so often that they may as well be honorary Maritimers.

The pair have made a habit of touring craft breweries across the East Coast, exploring the natural synergy between music and craft beer, and have become enthusiastic experts. So, we asked them about their favourite East Coast craft beers and their favourite East Coast craft breweries. Continue reading Craft Breweries of the East Coast with Brooklyn Doran & Rory Taillon →

Monthly Roundup: June 2019

Since the dawn of the music industry it has been declared that June would be a month of singles being released just in time to hype music festivals and tours. Uncoincidently, it also corresponds to the spawning of a sufficient number of mosquitos to dampen any enthusiasm for the former.
