It’s been far too long since the brewcast has visited Cincinnati’s first brewery/cidery/distillery, March First. Since our last visit, the taproom has opened and the brewery has started to grow into a fantastic addition to our craft beer scene here in Cincinnati – but how does it all work? We sat down with the folks […]

There’s always a ton of things going on in this city, events… releases… beer drama. It doesn’t matter which week you explore, each one is as exciting as the previous. This is what makes an episode like this fun. Due to a short notice cancellation, I had to scramble to put this show together (without

It seems like we’ve been waiting for this to happen forever, but Alexandria Brewing Company has opened their doors for business, and it’s time that the Brewcast sat down with Andy and Brad for a flight of beers – their beers! The topic of conversation drifted from the beers themselves, to the way that Alexandria

If you haven’t heard about Fretboard lately, you haven’t been paying attention. They’ve been making a whole bunch of noise locally with not just a couple big personnel pickups, but with a tap lineup that gets people talking with a near perfect mix of traditional styles and fun boundary pushing flavors. They’re only six months

I always feel like a fish out of water when I’m trying to throw a last minute show together. Couple that up with the face that this week’s episode is a “solo show” and what you get is a short version of the brewcast, filled with a bit of rambling. I did manage to crack

This was a test of some new streaming stuff that I’m working on, and we fired up Instagram live from our dining room after a long weekend out of town, with a sick baby (and a sick gnome) to drink a couple beers and talk about what’s been happening in the latest Cincy Beer releases.

There has been a lot of changes with Cellar Dweller/Valley Vineyards in recent months. Their longtime head brewer Steve Shaw left to help start up Wiedemann, and they picked up a great talent with CJ Katsetos to put a new spin on their brewing program. New beers, new spins on old beers… there’s a lot

They’ve been chugging along in Blue Ash, working to change minds and fill thirsty bellies for more than a year now and it begs the question: Why has it taken the Brewcast that long to get out to Blue Ash to do a show with the Queen City Brewery of Cincinnati? I don’t actually have

There are few celebrations that can be compared to Bockfest in Cincinnati. It’s a unique beer style, it’s a unique festival and it’s the perfect time of year to get out of the house, and have a couple beers in the sunshine. Where else can you burn a snowman effigy one week, and then dress

As the mighty Ohio River rises around town, Cincy Brewcast finds itself at 13 Below. We were there to offer up a pint or two to the river gods, to attempt to appease their quickly approaching waters, but more importantly were there to talk about beer. 13 Below has been open for around 6 months,

It’s been way too long since I’ve done a show at West Chester’s DogBerry Brewing Company. This brewery has been a fun one to watch over the last year, as they’ve grown from being a nano brewery into a neighborhood gathering spot, pumping out 20 unique taps from their shiny new 10bbl brewhouse, and they’re

We hadn’t been out to Hamilton Ohio’s Municipal Brew Works to chat with them since the week they opened their doors back in 2016, which meant I needed to find a good excuse to make this show happen. Luckily for me (and you) they’ve got their second bottle release coming up, a release of a

One thing that keeps me going when it comes to beer blogging, or podcasting about craft beer is the people. It’s the reason this whole thing got started, and it’s still the reason that I basically work a second job (an unpaying job, mind you) while trying to be a Dad, A Husband and maintain

The chaos reins supreme in this week’s episode! The day was already a hectic one, with more beer releases taking place on one day than I think I’ve seen yet. In addition to the releases, there was also a really fun event being put on by the Northern Kentucky Homebrewer’s guild that I had to

We’re back in the heart of one of Jungle Jim’s famous beer festivals again, and things are big, dark and boozy for this one! Craft Beer Joe joined me at the Barrel Aged Beer Bash to talk about Barrel Aged Beer, and what exactly that means for your tastebuds. The definition of what a Barrel

There is always something really fun about doing a show ‘In Studio’ (and you’re going to see more of these in 2018 as I complete construction on the new Cincy Brewcast studios) it brings back the fun that some of the early shows had, where you never really knew what beers you’d be drinking. This

Let’s get it out of the way right off the top, I know. This is the least Christmasy Christmas show that we’ve ever done. I have taken the liberty to assume that I know you guys as an audience, though. This topic is too fun to not let it take center stage, even with the

I hope that you’ve been watching the folks up in Middletown’s Rolling Mill Brewing Company, because as 2017 starts to wind down they’re kicking things into high gear and hoping to have their doors open before the new year. When I first wrote about the brewery they were still working on getting the space ready,

It’s been well over a year since we’ve done a show with the incredible people at Anderson’s Paradise Brewing, and what perfect timing to find our way back to their remodeled taproom to do another show? The brewery was hosting their first ever bottle release the day we recorded, and it made for some fun

The Big Cis Brewcast is an annual event dedicated to the memory of the late Mike Cisneros. Mike didn’t just sit next to me as the host of Cincy Brewcast, he was also a dear friend and one of the best, kindest people who I have ever met. What better way to celebrate a life

You’ve heard it said before – “people on the west side only drink Bud Light”. We spent this episode proving what not only is that not true, but why people on the west side now have a brewery offering up some of the best beer that has been available on that side of town in

I love seeing new breweries open, and love it even more when they are located in areas that I feel are desperate for a place of their own. Mason is exactly one of those places. The city of Mason is a great place, with a ton of history that gets overlooked, but it feels like

It doesn’t matter how you pronounce it, Bircus is unique. They are brewing beer in Ludlow, with the plans to open their very own Circus/Brewery Taproom that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. We joined owner Paul Miller, Head Brewer Sean Gregor and their sort of “Jack of All Trades” Ryan Fardo to talk

This episode of Cincy Brewcast saw us finally getting a glimpse at what Alexandria Brewing company will look like. The brewery has been working their butts off to get rolling down in Alexandria, Kentucky and has hit just about every speed bump that is possible when doing so. We spent a lot of time exploring the

We’ve done three shows now at Streetside, ranging from a pretty standard ‘Getting To Know You’ show back in December, to a really crazy one during their first can release of ‘Suh, Brah’ – which saw us setting up a table literally in the line that morning to do a show. It seems that no

What’s been happening since we were last at Listermann Brewing Company? The short of it is a LOT. We last broadcast from the Listermann taproom in June of 2015, and since then it’s nearly tripled in size – gained a proper bar that makes the old one look like a toy. An indoor beer garden

I have a love for Jungle Jim’s, both from the Brewcast’s perspective (we’ve been there a few times for live shows now) and from a beer drinker’s perspective. It’s a store that is unlike any other – especially if you’re looking for somewhere to buy some beer. In addition to them being a fantastic, world

We’ve talked before about Bad Tom Smith – actually, I love talking about them. (You can read some of the posts I’ve written about the brewery to get a better idea why). They personify the story of redemption that their namesake Bad Tom had at the end of his life. From a brewery that was

Rivertown has been around for a long time (in beer years) and they’ve somehow managed to keep changing, and evolving with the local scene, while still staying true to who they are. The biggest change so far in their life has taken place with the openin of their new, massive production brewery in Monroe. Sounds

There’s a bigger world of craft beer than I spend my time swimming through here in Cincinnati, and once a year I like to pay homage to that by branching out to Athens, Ohio for Ohio Craft Brew Week to chat with some breweries about what they’ve got going on out there – and for
