Step aside wine-and-cheese, there’s a new king of tasting pairings in town. This week’s guest, Shawn McDonald of Springbank Cheese in Marda Loop, is here to take our tastebuds on a journey with a beer-and-cheese tasting flight.
Known by many as “the cheese troll,” Shawn has been working with family-and-friend operated Springbank Cheese for more than 15 years. Int hat time he’s seen the palates of Calgarians expand dramatically, at times in tandem with phenomenons such as Alberta’s craft beer explosion. In addition to some insights on the cheese industry and the multi-province history of Springbank cheese, he brought a variety of cheeses to sample with the perfect pairing of Wild Rose brews:
Following our culinary journey with Shawn, Mama T helps answer questions about activities that everyone looks silly doing, with some shots fired and guitar players and hula-hoopers. Afterwards we discuss the unwritten rules of life, and the unwritten rules of working at the taproom.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang.
