Summer quickly approaches, and there are few better ways to welcome in the warmth than with a cold beer. Regardless if you are filling up a cooler or your beer fridge, though – you need some packaged beer to do it, right? Luckily for us, here in Cincinnati there are plenty of great beers being released to do just that. How is a beer drinker supposed to keep track of it all, though?

There is no need to worry, I’m here to help. I keep a running list every month – a roundup. In this post I keep track of all the releases that hit packaging in town. It’s continually updated throughout the month, so that you know what to head out to find!

Keep in mind, it’s always being updated – so check back often. It’s also not perfect, sometimes I miss one here or there. If you see something is missing, or not right, shoot me a message and let me know!
