The last time we hung out with JF on the pod was back at their winter bottle release in St. Jer\xf4me in 2017. We'd kicked it at one of our fave events of the year, Journ\xe9e P\xe9ch\xe9, every March for the past few winters but we were long overdue to have the guy who created the greatest coffee stout in the country back on the pod for a long chat.
This interview was basically our own private, virtual Journ\xe9e P\xe9ch\xe9 with the legend himself. We cracked open both the 2020 and 2021 P\xe9ch\xe9 Packs, including the Sidama Coffee, Blackcurrant, Mexican and Bourbon variants, while we got deep into the history of P\xe9ch\xe9 Mortel, how he feels about the event being cancelled two years running, how DDC pivoted during COVID, his stance on NEIPAs and pastry stouts, and a lot more. As always, this was an engaging conversation with someone who changed the game in Canada. Enjoy, cheers!\xa0
