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.

Listermann Is Definitely One Of The Best Breweries In Cincinnati

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.

Northern Row Has Been A LONG Time In The Making

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!
