The brewery is making a move from their lowly, small warehouse into the massive 18+ Million Dollar MadTree 2.0 facility in the former Rock-Tenn industrial site in Oakley. This wide ranging interview ...

On one hand, I get upset with myself when it takes me this long to get out to a local brewery to help them share their story with you. It drives me crazy. On the other hand, it feels so flippin' good to finally get out there - that I almost forget about how crazy it makes me. The folks over at Cincy Brewing Company have been on my "need to record list" for far too long - but my lord am I glad to finally get out there. Their beer is better than ever, they are starting to really figure out who they are - and the taproom is finding it's place in this bigger community in a really fun way. I dig this one, a lot. We talked about how they got started, who they are, and about what they're brewing. We even dove into the big question of "how big is too big" for a place like Cincy Brewing Company. It's a long, fun show!

It covers two sides of the food truck world. If you have a food truck or are just nerdy about the behind-the-scenes "stuff" that it takes to run one - check out Food Trucker Magazine. If you're looking for a food truck, though - Queen City Mobile Food Truck Association is the place to go. This organization can find the best truck for your taproom, event, or whatever you need a truck for. They're great people, doing great work!Bret Kollmann Baker over at Urban Artifact. Bret's a great dude, and his brewery is cranking out some of the most fun, innovative beer in this city (and well beyond). They've got an online store that you should check out - especially since they'll ship it right to your doorstep (depending on where you live. These folks are sponsors... they make this happen. You can help too, though. If you want to dedicate a few bucks each month to the Brewcast, to the website, the YouTube channel... all of that. You can always hit up the support page and do just that. It helps... it helps a lot!

What a whirlwind of a show! It seems extremely appropriate that right after discussing how Cincinnati can become more of a draw for beer-tourism that the city should win an exclusive party from Untappd. If you missed the post about the event the important stuff you need to know is that in the month of March our city was one of the top 7 cities for Untappd check-ins. Digging a little deeper into that, MadTree was the top checked in verified venue in the city which is why the party was held there. We were joined with an all star panel for the show, Christopher Walker from Have a Drink Show (you know them by now, right?) helped me keep the show running by co-hosting, and Mike Stuart from MadTree joined Greg Avola from Untappd to help us on the content side with a great interview. We talked about Untappd, what makes it work, where it's come from, and where it's going along with digging into a couple of the most heated debates about the platform (let's settle those vintage arguments finally). With the Brew Professor himself at the table it only Made sense to chat about this mysterious Sensorium series that the brewery has been teasing lately. In a world where Untappd reins supreme for beer check ins (with all the good and bad that comes with that) it was fun to have a brewery's voice there as well to show their side of what the app does for them. It was a great show... make sure that you not only listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, or Google Play - but for the love of beer, share the show with your friends too! Let's keep this thing growing! There is a lot of fun stuff in the works, and I don't want anyone to miss out!
