You can't talk about Cincinnati beer without mentioning Brink Brewing company. They've won more medals at GABF than any other local brewery, and have done it on the back of some amazing beers. To me, they have personified what it means to be a neighborhood brewery. It hasn't been easy, and with their head brewer/co-owner recently making the jump to a bigger brewery with the newly opened Third Eye Brewing in Sharonville... it seemed like a good time to touch base and talk about the last couple of years. I sat down with Brink's owner Andy McCleese to talk about how they've gotten to this point and how you direct and push forward a brewery like Brink without losing the parts that seem to make it so special to it's legions of fans who fill the taproom with smiling faces.

It's always joked about new breweries, how long it took them to get their doors open. We laugh about the roadblocks and hurdles (it's a lot funnier once it's over with and the taproom is full of happy beer fans) - but few places can even come close to the journey that Northern Row has been on. Year after year they worked their butts off to get the taproom open. And here we are. Finally. The brewery/distillery/winery/restaurant has a TON going for it, and couple it up with a taproom that is unlike anything else in this city and there is definitely a lot to talk about with them. It's a daunting task, but one that I'm more than willing to take on. I took an evening to hang out in the taproom and get to the bottom of their story. Who are they and how do they fit into the bigger landscape of Cincinnati Craft Beer? What's with this "outlaws welcome" tagline that we keep hearing? And for a lot of you... most importantly, is their beer any good? There's a lot of ground to cover, and we spent nearly two hours trying to get to it all. You can read more about the brewery here on the blog... but my recommendation? Just listen! I can guarantee that we will be back to here to keep diving deeper, the beer deserves a lot more looks into it - and we didn't even scratch the surface of what's going on with distilling or winemaking. I think you'll find them on a future episode of Drinking With The Gnome as well!

It's not normal yet... but this is getting us one step closer, that's for sure! This is the first show that's been "in" a taproom since all of this happened, and it feels so good to be that way. I sat down with not just Municipal Brew Works, but some other folks from around Hamilton, too, to talk about what reviving this city is all about, and the community that has sprung up around a place like Municipal. We chatted about how the brewery has been doing during the chaos of this spring/summer and what they've got planned for us in the near future. We drink a few beers, sit in the sunshine... it's not a bad way to spend an evening.

I have been in love with Listermann Brewing Company for a very long time. From when we would stop in to buy a few bombers before a day of home brewing, all the way until now - these folks have done a ton for Cincinnati and our growing beer scene. As the world around us seems to try to tear itself apart and burst into flames, I needed to check in with them to make sure that they were doing ok, and I wanted to try to get a peek at how they have made it all work in the craziness that 2020 has brought us. There were lots of questions that I had... especially about the expansion that they are on the cusp of.

I can't even begin to tell you how much it pains me to have weeks where I don't get an episode of Cincy Brewcast up... yet here we are. It's not that I don't have a good excuse - I have a toddler, and an infant that are creating a level of chaos in my household that is unprecedented - but it doesn't help me feel better about it. From the beginning of this website and when "The Gnome" was born I tried pretty hard to not let my crazy life overflow into the Gnome, and not to let the Gnome overflow into my crazy life. That line gets blurry sometimes, though - especially now, and it's unavoidable. So. No show this week, which I'm extremely sorry for. We'll be back next week - and I'll be live tonight with The Weekly Pint. Sorry guys.

It seems like adaptation is the name of the Cincinnati Beer game lately... not that it hasn't always been the game in craft beer - but it's been crazy lately. Mt Carmel Brewing Company is no strange to adapting, and their business has always thrived on being a little slower, and maybe even a little more thought out for the long haul than their newer brothers and sisters in the game are. On the cusp of the big "reopening" - I talked to owner Mike Dewey about how exactly the manage this beast, and what things might look like in the short (and the longterm) for them.

In the craziness of the current state of breweries and beer drinking in Cincinnati, Ohio - it's pretty refreshing each week to get a chance to sit down and talk to our local breweries about how things are going. Sure, it's awesome to hear how everyone is dealing with this all in their own ways, but more importantly it's awesome to get a breath of fresh air and feel some normalcy that comes (in my life) from chatting over a couple of beers. It's been far too long since we sat down with Fretboard to talk about what they've been up to - and they've been up to a TON - from their second location in Hamilton to getting ready to can their award-winning Vlad Pilsner - they even let us in on the great news that they are starting construction of their long-awaited patio in Blue Ash - there's some great stuff in this episode!

As things just keep evolving - we're now faced with a big moment, breweries are going to be allowed to let their customers back onto patios, and soon enough in taprooms to have a beer - but are we ready for that to happen? Our local breweries are faced with that decision right now, and they're all handling it very differently - This week, I'm solo and working my way though all of this (plus a couple of beers!)

While part of this week's episode might not be what I thought it was going to be - It's a really great one. I got Bobby Slattery from Fifty West on the line to chat about how they are dealing with all of this, while also opening up their burger restaurant, and putting the finishing touches on their big expansion at the same time (read more about that here). The brewery is just another example in the long line of Cincinnati breweries that are managing to show us their ability to bring a bit of joy to their customers in the middle of the chaos that breaks out around us. This week was pretty jam packed full of chaos - but as the world around us attempts to find their place in this new normal... so am I in my life. I'll get there, we'll get there - hang in there Cincy. Guests This Episode Bobby Slattery - Fifty West Brewing Company From The Beer Fridge Fifty West - Brett Is My CoPilot

I LOVE Mike Stokes and his company, Cincy Brew Bus. With all that has been going on, they've been on the surface of my mind a lot. It's obviously not the same world as it was, and running a company that tours taprooms doesn't look anywhere like it did a year ago. We talked about that, of course. We also drank a few beers, and talked about the general overlook of the current craft beer scene in Cincinnati. Mike shares a deep love for this community in the same way that I do, and it makes for a good time. We were at DogBerry Brewing up in West Chester, so during the show we worked our way through a flight of their beers... so even if you get bored with hearing us talk - you can look forward to a little beer tasting to make it worth your while!
