Cincy Brewcast

This week on the show, in addition to an action packed ‘From The Beer Fridge’ we attempt our first ever “Craft Draft” to fill up our hypothetical 24 tap handle taproom with some of the best beers that we can think of. This new exercise proved to be a whole lot more difficult (and fun) than we anticipated. It turns out that there is some really great local, regional and national beers that we all wanted in our taproom!

It’s time to talk Urban Artifact! As the brewery prepares for their big Grand Opening we talk about what will be on tap – and even try three of their beers to give you an idea what you’re in store for. We talk with Co-Founder Brett Kollman-Baker and Brewer Josh Elliott, and discuss the newest attraction of the fast-growing cultural scene in Cincinnati’s historic Northside neighborhood. We also have Cincinnati craft beer news and notes including Starkbierfest 2015, a new offering from Mt. Carmel and the return of an old friend from Madtree.
