Our second year of Cincy Brewcast begins with an excellent episode where we finally meet with the guys from 50 West Brewing Co. Co-owners, Head Brewer Blake Horsburgh and CEO Bobby Slattery sit down and talk about all things 50 West--their brewing philosophy, the quest for excellence in both experience and product, their planned expansion to increase production for both distribution and package and so much more.There are, of course, several great beers involved, including the "State Lines" American-style lager (an in-house controversy, we were told) the "Done in a Day" DIPA, one of the best Double IPA's ever issued from a Cincinnati brewery and a new variant of their hyper-popular "Coffee Please" Stout--this time with Mexican Churro flavorings.There is also some "Asked and Answered" action, courtesy this week of Tina where she asks Blake and Bobby pressing questions that you wanted to ask--and maybe some stuff you didn't need to know about Blake, Bobby, Tina and Angie's days at Ohio University!So join us for this extra-fun and exciting edition of Cincy Brewcast, "The Voice of Cincy Craft."

Kickstarting Wiedemann, A Legend Reborn!

We are proud to offer, as our 52nd episode--yes, it's been a year folks--our talk about the relaunch and resurgence of Cincinnati-area "heritage" beer brand George Wiedemann Brewing Co. We are joined by the driving forces behind their resurgence--and their big Kickstarter campaign--John Newberry (Owner and Founder), his wife Betsy and brother Doug. We talk about the importance of heritage brands to the future of craft beer, the entry into a crowded market and the built-in marketing importance of a brand that is over 100 years old. We also try a couple of Wiedemann's beers (currently being brewed at Cellar Dweller Brewing in Morrow): their Royal Amber Dortmunder Lager and the especially tasty "Special Bock". We are also honored to be selected again by Urban Artifact Brewing to debut their "Otso" Double Tart Brown w/Coffee. A busy show and a great conversation with Wiedemann Brewing Co. on this edition of Cincy Brewcast, "The Voice of Cincy Craft!"

First Anniversary Show!

It's a first anniversary party on Cincy Brewcast! No, not ours, but three of the newest and fastest growing craft breweries in Cincinnati. First, we visit and do our show on location at Urban Artifact Brewery in Northside, where we are joined by co-founders Bret Kollman-Baker and Scotty Hunter. They discuss UA's first year in business and their upcoming First Anniversary party at the brewery on April 23. They will be having special beers, bands, food trucks and much more.Then, we revisit the big Anniversary party at Braxton Brewing Company last week--we talk to Jake and Evan Rouse, Richard Dube, Jonathan Gandolf, Dave Dixon and Lisa Graham, whose Brewhaus Dog Bones educational program received the inaugural "Trophy" Grant from Braxton.Finally, we sit down for a one-on-one interview with Kevin Moreland of Taft's Ale House on their busiest day--Reds Opening Day also is the day Taft's opened last year--so they obviously host a mega-party! Kevin talks about the year that was for Taft's, the fine "liquids" that come out of the old church on Race Street and what Taft's means to the OTR community--and vice versa.So sit back, relax, crack open a cold one, and enjoy this all-new episode of Cincy Brewcast, "The Voice of Cincy Craft"!
