This week we’re joined by former Wild Rose team member turned Bitter Sisters brewmaster, Marc Creaser. Marc calls in from the brewery to recount his beginnings in the craft beer industry and how Bitter Sisters is keeping their thirsty customers safe during Alberta’s re-opening.
Marc got started in craft beer nearly a decade ago while studying at Mount Royal. He had a bunch of friends working in the kitchen at the Wild Rose Taproom and through them got to know the rest of the team and knew he wanted to be a part of it. When a position on the packaging line opened up he dropped out of Mount Royal to join the team and a year and a half later Marc was the head of production & distribution.
After leaving Wild Rose in 2016 Marc spent 2 years working with a medicinal cannabis dispensary before re-entering craft beer at Legend 7, where he helped out on the packaging line and started getting his feet wet with brewing, and within 2 months he was brewing all on his own.
In his current role as brewmaster for Bitter Sisters he has massive creative control over the beers they make, and has diverged from the high-alcohol trend common in the craft space to create super crushable beers that have been receiving great feedback from their fans. This brand new brewery can be found in an iconic Calgary location, 510 Heritage Drive SW, the former home of Studio 82, the Trap & Gill, and many others.
After we chat with Marc, Mama T and the guys talk TV dream homes, debating the pros and cons of the digs from Three’s Company, Full House, and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Later we get a little touchy-feely with a (mostly) heart-to-heart about true love and forming relationships with people who will stay with you through your worst, and your worst farts.
