The Weekly Pint

West Coast IPA - it used to get beer drinkers talking because they were shocked by it's bold personality. Today, it gets people talking because so few places are making them, and some of the ones that are making soft, hazy versions of the style that just AREN'T West Coast IPAs. I crack open a new one from MadTree to see if they've done it justice. I talked about breweries here in town that are ten years old... and way older and a drink something from Shaq that is in cardboard.

Yep. That all sounds right for The Weekly Pint!

Oktoberfest Is Winding Down, But That Doesn't Mean That We Don't Stop Drinking!!!!

We're back from a great long weekend of camping with the family - which means things are a little "out of sorts" around the house (when are they not?)

On this week's episode, I had the live audience choose a beer for me, although - when I was disappointed with their choice, we all called an audible and switched things up. After a long process of trying to figure out how old my beer was... we finally dove into the news of the week.

Seltzer Smash is back at March First - and I wanted to make sure you knew about it for all your 'Fizzhead' friends that need to get their seltzer fix.

In addition, there are some new breweries under construction around town that I felt we needed an update about.

To wrap it up - we had plenty of label approvals that were prime for some quick discussion.

The Weekly Pint is more than a live show that airs on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter every Monday evening around 9:30 pm - it's a happy hour where we all get together over a drink and talk about life. Sure, we talk about Cincinnati Beer news, crazy regional and national booze news, and big things that are happening in the world - but at its core, it's an excuse to hang out with friends.

If you remember, back to the Spring of 2023, things started out hectic - it started with a pretty crappy website crash that led me to take a month off to rebuild, recoup and relaunch everything. Some weeks, some months, some years, are just... chaotic.

This is one of those weeks!

This week's episode of the weekly pint starts a little rough because I'm a doofus. I hit the button WAY before I was ready to go live, so I got to start the show flustered, which is always fun...

We hit the ground running, though, as I cracked open a crowd-chosen can of Seventh Son's Tuk Tuk lager (which was great) and dove right into some label approvals for a few bourbons that you might want to keep your eyes open for in the near future.

From there, we talk about my recent experiences at my first FCC game - and how I screwed up the entire drinking experience there. We talked about some upcoming food in taprooms and how we all collectively saved one of our local breweries from closing (go us!)

It's a whirlwind of a show that I'm still recovering from... I think you'll like listening as much as I did making it!
