You know I love when a brewery here in town takes home an award. I think we’ve got some really great beer coming out of Cincinnati, and anytime an awards ceremony recognizes the hard work our local breweries are putting into it, my heart warms up a bit.

This year’s Ohio Craft Brewer’s Cup saw 8 different breweries bring home more than 23 new awards this year. Of those – 7 of them were gold medals. When you look at things from a bird’s eye view and realize how great the other breweries in the state are, and take that into consideration, the awards only become that much more impressive.

If you ever want to see a full list of all the awards that our local breweries have won – you can always head over here to do that – but I wanted to make sure that you’re caught up on this new crop of them today!
