Show and Tell w/ Bebo & Chris – Third Moon Brewing

This week on Between Two Fermenters, we’re joined by two longtime friends, collaborators, and absolute heavyweights of Ontario craft beer: Steve “Bebo” Pilotto and Chris Steininger from Third Moon Brewing.

Before Third Moon became one of the most talked-about breweries in the province, Bebo was a homebrewer turning heads with hazy IPAs, and Chris was a GLB superfan lining up for releases, hauling cases home, and chasing the beers he loved. Their shared obsession eventually turned into a partnership, and in May 2020, right in the middle of a global pandemic, Third Moon Brewing was born.

In this episode, Bebo and Chris get candid about the road that led them here, the pressure of turning passion into a livelihood, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in craft beer.

We dig into:

How two beer nerds met, bonded, and realized they were “the maniacs” in the room
Bebo’s homebrewing roots and the Unfazed by Haze collab that helped shape GLB’s hazy IPAs
Opening a brewery during COVID and why those early, chaotic days were both terrifying and magical
Friendship vs. Partnership – how that changes when beer stops being a hobby and becomes your life
Building Third Moon’s culture, team, and ethos (and why “everyone pushing the car” matters)
Why they brew the beers they want to drink, trends be damned
