Tonight the Cincy Brewcast team returns to the “friendly confines” of the studio and is joined by two outstanding local home brewers, Shayne Brammer who brews under the “Blue Hen Brewing” banner and Adam Stone, flying the flag for “Big Slam Brewing”. They relate the real-life stores of the triumph and tribulations of home brewing, why they do it and why they love it. We pull some of their beers (all delicious, by the way) “From The Beer Fridge” and then we try one of the “big hitters” of the craft beer world, Russian River’s Pliny The Elder (courtesy of Shayne). Along with the Pliny, we also try two big beers from Mike’s recent Florida trip, American Wild BA Barleywine with Brett and Son of Yam Spiced Yam Ale from JDubs Brewing in Sarasota. Plus an extra huge edition of “This Week In Beer” with major developments from 50 West, Mt. Carmel, Rhinegeist, Madtree, Fibonacci, Urban Artifact and more, all on this week’s edition of Cincy Brewcast
