As the year comes to an end, we are blessed as always by a new month of some great beer releases from our Cincinnati Breweries. The difficulty of keeping track of it all is real, though – and I understand that. I do my best each month to keep a running list of everything that is being released from your local breweries and taprooms so that you don’t have to try to do it. If you see something that’s wrong, or missing… let me know, though. I do my best, but I’m not perfect!
