Graham Sherman
Pitmaster, Owner – Toolshed Brewing

          After a 2003 Visit to Memphis Graham Sherman stumbled upon the “Memphis in May BBQ World Championships” and from that moment forth
his life would never be the same. That first introduction to low and slow smoke and the famous Memphis dry ribs made him realize that what he
previously thought of when people said “BBQ” was actually called “GRILLING”!! Immediately upon returning to Calgary, Graham’s grill was
swapped out for a smoker, propane was exchanged for hickory wood and the journey began! Graham, together with passionate, fellow BBQ
enthusiast Darren Clark formed THE NOTORIOUS P.I.G competition BBQ team and they have never looked back.

Now almost 20 years after that amazing trip to Memphis, the team has racked up piles of BBQ awards including multiple trips to the World BBQ
Championships and even a gold medal at the 2022 World Food Championships. THE NOTORIOUS P.I.G now inspires the BBQ menu
available at Tool Shed Brewing Company and the many game changing techniques for world class BBQ are available through the many BBQ
classes offered to all fellow aspiring pitmasters!
