Series 5 of Link Up in the building! For our fifth series of collab beers, we did it up heavy and we\'re kicking off with Montreal\'s Mell\\xf6n. Co-Founder Alex joined Tiff and Cee to chat about the last two years of the brewery, how the pandemic affected their business, how their amazing patio helps attract a new, diverse crowd, ways they can proactively try to recruit BIPOC to apply for future positions, and how they make their taproom welcoming for everyone. Mell\\xf6n delivered Link Up\'s first-ever farmhouse ale, hopped with 100% Motueka hops to create a peppery, lime-y, floral and crushable brew. 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\\xa0aim with\\xa0this 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.
