I’d put Wooden Cask into a category that can only be described as ‘Legendary’. The brewery has “only” been around since 2016, but the ownership traces back all the way to the early days of the resurgance of the Cincinnati craft beer scene. If you are looking for a brewery that forges its own path, even as trends explode around them, you’re going to fall in love with Wooden Cask.

The beer leans towards classic, European styles (though, you might find a Hazy IPA or other modern styles tucked alongside them, too.) and they package it all in a taproom that feels like warm and comfortable but yet big enough to fit whatever group you happen to have with you.
