An awesome raccoon that knows how to get his own snacks, his own booze... AND he knows Karate? That sounds like a good start to this week's episode!

Fueled by Habesha Cold Gold, Malort, HighGrain's JJs Fruit Stand, and some kind of boozy boba balls... There are a lot of rabbit holes that we have to resist diving down!

When it gets cold outside, I just sort of want to dive deep into my beer cellar... so that's exactly what we'll do tonight. We'll drink some schnapps, drink our beervent beer... and then dive into a big old Imperial Stout - because why not?

The whole time, we'll talk about local news like Santacon, and a sale that a lot of folks really think is a little more than just a good deal.

This one is late - and I know it's going to be late. Hung up with working obligations, that's just how it's gotta be this week... and I don't really like it. On the PLUS side, today kicks off Beervent, so I'll hurry to get my first beer in before midnight, and then we'll talk about how I'll make it up to you throughout December!

This week is my favorite holiday - Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday to celebrate, and it's also the beginning of another one of my favorite seasons to drink in. What better way to celebrate than with a show that most certainly ISN'T a show?

On this week's episode, we drink some Voltage Peppermint Schnapps, A beer that is VERY seasonal (Decorative Gourd from Seventh Son), and then dive into the beer cellar to try a 2019 Straight Jacket from Revolution.

This is all to fuel a conversation about upcoming events (you ARE coming to my live show at Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt and the Holiday Craft Beer Extravaganza, right?) Black Friday releases that you need to know about, and the upcoming closure of Cincinnati's only dedicated cidery, Northwood Cider.

This episode is sponsored by Cincinnati Christkindlmarket, so I have to give a massive shoutout to them for making it possible, it also wouldn't exist without folks like you who support via Patreon. If you want to become a 'Gnomie' you can go to https://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support - some really cool stuff coming over there in the new year!

The government is moving again, so I'm back to collecting label approvals... that's the good news. The bad news? They're also trying to federally ban weed water. It's definitely time to be loud about your opinions, which is exactly what this show is for!

We drink some Casamigos margaritas, we talk about Rogue... it's an action-packed and LONG episode of the show that isn't a show (which might have also been plagued by technical difficulties... awesome)

I also have to give a huge shoutout to this week's episode sponsor, Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt and their Holiday Craft Beer Extravaganza... where I'll also be hosting a live episode of Drinking With The Gnome on Black Friday this year! Stop by and have a drink with me in person!

The weather is very - seasonal today - and while I swear that I'm NOT Ready... I am getting there. Let's drink some big beers, play with some fire and get even MORE ready!

Huge thanks to Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt as well as the Holiday Craft Beer Extravaganza for supporting this episode - don't forget to come hang out with me on Black Friday this year for a live recording of 'Drinking With The Gnome'!

I keep reading articles telling me that craft beer is dead, the some kind of boom or bubble is bursting and that we're all doomed. Is that true? Also... why am I drinking Voltage Peppermint schnapps before the holiday season? What can is under the wrap? There's a lot to unpack on this week's episode!

The title might have NOTHING to do with what we ended up talking about, but that doesn't mean that we don't have a lot to talk about on this week's episode. Quite the opposite, actually. I start things off (after the regular technical difficulties) with 'The Schnappening' that was a little sweet... not peaches... but candy-like and delicious. From there we talked about everything from what's happening at Bad Tom Smith in Madisonville to the current status of 'Intoxicating Hemp' here in Ohio. The upcoming Halloween celebration wraps things up for another action packed week!

Here's what I drank this week: Kruskovac Pear Liqueur, Streetside Strawberry Jelly Donut Demogorgon.

I realized earlier in the day that I hadn't had a cocktail on the show (that isn't a show) for a very long time... so I figured I'd remedy that on this week's episode. I ALSO realized that in addition to not having one, I'm also a lousy bartender. These two facts combined together result in the episode's live audience creating a cocktail for me - and it ends up... interesting.

To keep things a little tastier, I ended up by cracking into a can of Urban Artifact's 'Fall Bear' brown ale... a NOT sour beer from the brewery that way too many people think aren't able to make a not sour beer.

It was a great episode!

It's a great weekend to open a couple beers and hang out! Cincinnati brings home a whole bucketload of gold medals in a GABF that saw Ohio set new records with it's wins. On top of that... hemp-derived THC is banned? What is going on?!

It's a recipe for a good episode of the show that's not a show.
