The Kroger Company jumps into the Cincy craft beer growler scene with their new craft beer growler bar at their fabulous new flagship store at Oakley Station in Cincinnati. We are joined by Cincinnati-Nashville Craft Brands Manager Nate Wolejsza and “Adult Beverage Steward” Ryan Brock as we discuss Kroger’s commitment to craft beer in general, what the plans are for the Oakley Station growler bar and also discuss their commitment to fine wines and craft ciders. We taste seasonal beers from Madtree, 50 West, Sam Adams and Kroger’s own Tap Room No. 21 and discuss the impact Kroger has on Cincinnati’s craft brewers–and vice versa.
