Why not take a couple of those topics that have a tendency to get a little heated in online discussions and pull them apart a little bit on this weeks episode? I can’t promise that we ever actually solve any of the beer world’s biggest problems, but we certainly talked about them and had a […]

It’s been far too long since the Brewcast met up with Bircus in Ludlow. Since our show in October of 2017, they’ve been brewing up some great beer for their fans, and doing so in the historic Ludlow Theater, which doubles as their taproom. We took a few minutes to sit down with owner Paul

It’s hard to ignore all the things that are happening at Karrikin in Fairfax. They’re putting out some really amazing spirits, operating a great tasting room restaurant to enjoy them and are firing on all cylinders right now. But the beer side of me wants to make sure that everyone remembers – It’s a brewery!!

There are some beer styles that are considered ‘Trendy’ and two of the ones that jump to mind for me were both on tap at Darkness Brewing when the Brewcast rolled in last week. We grabbed a Brut IPA and a Cascadian Dark Ale and asked owner Eric Bosler about the styles, as well as

It’s time to get to know Silverton’s upcoming HighGrain Brewing Company – the project designed to bring beer, food and sustainability head first into each other into a space that celebrates all three equally. Andy Foltz was back again for this episode to help out with the co-hosting duties, and we were joined by Matt

You’ve been hearing a lot about Fifty West in the news lately – from Del’s beer fast that went viral across the globe, to the recent news that the brewery is going to be opening up their third location late this year (or early next year) in Chilicothe… there’s definitely a lot that’s been going
March First is doing a great job at putting out all of the beverages that they enjoy, and using their status a brewery/distillery/cidery to experiment with whatever their minds dream up. While this episode of Cincy Brewcast drifts from beer a little bit – it’s only expected when you set foot into a place like

I was joined this week… or a couple weeks ago depending on how you look at it by my good friend from Hunting Agnes, Bryan Booth to talk Bourbon, and to talk the Prohibition Bourbon Bar (you can listen to that episode if you haven’t already) and we were having so much darn fun that

Alexandria Brewing Company is gearing up for their quickly approaching first anniversary – which means it was definitely time for me to head back out to the brewery to chat with owner/brewer Andy Reynolds to see what he’s been up to. With one of the areas best Bock beers on tap… just barely it was

I’m not ready for this – the dive into Bourbon. It’s not that I don’t know about Bourbon, I freaking love the stuff. I also know plenty about it to talk about it. The massive topic of ‘America’s Spirit’ is just that, massive. So this is most definitely not a “Bourbon show”. It’s an exploration

You can find your way into most Cincinnati bars and find yourself a great Manhattan. We live in a good era to be a drinker, after all. However, when it comes to this cocktail… there’s a lot to appreciate and understand if you want to take things to a different level. The history? There’s a

In studio, a couple beers, a couple microphones – you never know what you’re going to get. I love these shows, the unplanned ones from the studio. It opens up the discussion, and let’s us get to know the people that are on the show a little better than a typical episode might. This week

The evolution of our local breweries is one of the exciting parts of watching our craft beer community. Things don’t often stay exactly how they are when a brewery opens their doors, and most of the time it’s for the better. This week, sitting down with Queen City Brewery of Cincinnati, it become’s clear that

It’s Paddy’s Day in Cincinnati – and I made the rounds. I ventured out to some of the hottest spots in Cincy to figure out what makes St Patricks day more than you might think it is on the surface. Sure… there is a lot of Guinness and Green beer that get’s poured – but

They are all in a never ending process of ‘Growing Up’ and evolving, our local breweries. It’s not a huge shock that our oldest locally owned brewery in the bunch, Mt. Carmel has been on a similar path of never ending growth and evolution. What is shocking for these guys though is how much they’ve

When I planned a show during the weekend that I knew I would be out of town, in what’s been called ‘Beer City USA’ over and over – I had a brilliant plan to just pretend we were still in Cincinnati, drink a few Cincy beers and talk about what’s been going on in our

This week’s episode of Cincy Brewcast was recorded live, on location at Streetside Brewing Company with Garrett Hickey. It was an exciting Monday as the brewery helped their friends at Cleveland’s Masthead Brewing celebrate their one year anniversary with a satellite party by tapping three of their beers. It’s been a little while since we’ve

I thought this was going to end up being a solo show, drinking a beer or two and telling you about it after being snowed in for a weekend. It turned out that The Beercat came through and gave me a quick rundown of this years Jungle Jim’s Barrel Aged Beer Bash that I missed

Take a breath, as we dive this week down the deep rabbit hole of where it all started, and how beer got to where it is in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to be invited to Boone County’s Library to give a talk about beer. If you’ve never tried to compress 220 years of brewing

It’s probably the single event each year that gives me the “reset” that I need. Coming at the end of the year, which is such a good time to reflect anyways – Big Cis is the chance for me to remember back to starting Cincy Brewcast. The focus for the show, the focus for the

Sam Adams has opened their Cincinnati taproom (as you remember reading about, I’m sure). And there are a lot of questions about what it’s like. I take tonights quick, solo show as an opportunity to answer those questions, drink a couple beers and get some audio out to you that I’ve been itching to for

Things never go as expected at Urban Artifact, and I say that in the best way possible. The shows are always packed full of some of my favorite moments from the podcast, and this episode doesn’t let up at all. We dig into some of this week’s upcoming releases from Urban, chat a little bit
In true Cincy Brewcast fashion, every once in a while, we’ve gotta hit up one of the area’s busiest events and record a show. A little noisy? Maybe. A lot of exciting? Definitely. I wanted to capture a little bit of the excitement that is surrounding the opening of Sonder Brewing in Mason, not just

It’s not often that you can get Brady and Kenny in the same room together. It seems like ever since planning began for 2.0 that MadTree has been on such a wild ride that the duo rarely gets to sit down together for an interview (especially when you’re just a lowly lawn ornament blogger) –

This week finds Cincy Brewcast recording on location, deep in the heart of Olde Milford. We are finally sitting down with the folks from Little Miami Brewing Company to talk about who they are, and why you need to stop by their brewpub soon. The brewery is built to fit in with Milford’s already existing

There will always be something special (and fun) about getting back “in studio”. It reminds me of how we started this show, just sitting around a table drinking a few beers and talking about what’s happening in our craft beer community. Without a couple of friends to drink with, though – it just wouldn’t work,

I LOVE seeing new breweries open up. I’m sure that you’ve picked up on that by now – haven’t you? Getting to know new people, and seeing how they put their spin on something that is so important to not just me, but to people all across Cincinnati is exciting. Watching places grow over the

Not that they’ve ever gone away, but it’s been far too long since we’ve had Rivertown Brewing Company on Cincy Brewcast, and it’s time to remedy that situation! It’s fitting that at the same time they are not only on a absolute tear with not just new beers, but bringing back crowd pleasing favorites as

It’s hard to believe that when Williamsburg’s Old Firehouse Brewery opened up 3+ years ago, that there were only 15 breweries or so in the Cincinnati area. We’re now over 50 and it’s an entirely different perspective that you’ll get when you talk to owner Adam Cowan. The balance of keeping things fresh, and building

There’s a lot to talk to Fifty West about… and I suppose that’s partially my fault for not having a chance to sit down with them on the show for about a year. Of course, it’s also their fault for having a TON of stuff going on at all times. From some big medal wins,
