Ralph Morana – Bar Volo

The guest on this episode is nothing short of a legend. Some call him the Godfather of beer in Ontario, while others simply call him Ralph. Ralph Morana is the visionary behind Bar Volo, Cask Days, Birreria Volo, and so much more—a man who has shaped craft beer culture in Toronto, across Ontario, and beyond.

From transforming an Italian café on a corner of Yonge Street into one of North America's most influential beer spots to pioneering cask ale in Ontario, launching the IPA Challenge, and building Cask Days into an internationally recognized event, Ralph has done it all, inspiring so many along the way. Bar Volo gave brewers a space to experiment, connect, and push boundaries. It helped shape the beer industry we know today.

Ralph’s story has been told many times, but rarely by the man himself. With this episode, we change that, as we sit down with Ralph to reflect on his journey, the stories behind Bar Volo, and the legacy he continues to build with his sons, Tomas and Julian, with their always evolving locations.
