Cincy Brewcast

It's the Oktoberfestfest Quest Finale! See how takes home this year's Golden Gnome Trophy - it's a good one!

Oktoberfest season is the BEST season, and this has become a must visit festival for me every year - Oktoberfest at Sonder!

DogBerry Brewing Company is closed, but there's still a lot to understand about how that affects someone involved.

Norwood, Ohio, gets a big win with the opening of Braxton's new taproom at Factory 52. In what COULD have been a huge loss, HiWire recently announced the closure of their Cincinnati taproom to focus on their efforts back home in North Carolina, and with it, a partnership of sorts where Braxton will always be keeping some HiWire beer on tap there.

I sat down with Jake and Evan Rouse, two of Braxton's founders and owners, to talk about what this means for the brewery's future growth, for the future of craft beer, and for the future of what taprooms might look like.

It's a great conversation, and one that I know a lot of beer drinkers here in Cincinnati are going to be excited to hear! If you're curious to know more about Braxton or their new taproom space, make sure that you hit them up on the Braxton Factory 52 Facebook page.

When Mellotone Beer Project announced that they'd be taking over a VERY familiar brewpub space here in Cincinnati, I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew their head brewer and co-founder, Alexandra Nowell, knew what she was doing from her time in the industry, but what I have found since is a space that manages to brew traditional styles really, really well, without being afraid to put their own spin on them. It's easy to let craft beer get a little too full of itself, and this place knows exactly when and how to shake things up to prevent that!

I can't thank the folks at Mellotone enough for helping to make this episode come to life, it was great getting to check them out and share them with you!

If you want to check out Mellotone, make sure you head down to the brewpub in OTR, check out their website, and follow them on social media.
