The Weekly Pint

If you remember, back to the Spring of 2023, things started out hectic - it started with a pretty crappy website crash that led me to take a month off to rebuild, recoup and relaunch everything. Some weeks, some months, some years, are just... chaotic.

This is one of those weeks!

The Weekly Pint is more than a show - it's a happy hour where we all get together over a drink and talk about life. Sure, we talk about Cincinnati Beer news, crazy regional and national booze news, and big things that are happening in the world - but at it's core it's an excuse to hang out with friends.

If you like what I do here - or anywhere you like to consume my content, know that it all happens because of folks like you.  If you want to support The Gnome, you can always go to http://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/Support and do just that.

This time of year, we're hit hard with all the big stout releases... and after a chilly weekend "camping" with the family - I'm ready for it!

It's been a wild week, and as we wrap up Oktoberfest Quest, and head right into Beer, Booze, and Bonks, I think it calls for a beer or two!

I'm getting desperate for a normal week to get caught up on all the stuff that I feel like I'm falling behind on. Treading water... but with a beer in my hand.

The world has been... surprise... chaotic. The entire show that I had planned for tonight's live episode of The Weekly Pint has to be scrapped for a quick little episode instead.

Not to be let down, though... I'll run through a couple of previews of some stuff coming down the road - because, well... why not?

Oktoberfest Is Winding Down, But That Doesn't Mean That We Don't Stop Drinking!!!!

We've got a few Cincinnati news stories to cover this week, but very quickly Oktoberfest dominates the conversation again. We're MAYBE a week away from this year's Oktoberfest Quest finals, which means I'm in crunch mode, both with drinking, and planning. We crack open way too many beers, and live in the chaos from the very minute I hit record.

Just as expected, right?

The start of a new country song? No... Just sort of how my week has been going already. Nothing that a cold beer and a good conversation won't fix!

We've all been shouting from the rooftops for years - Ohio (and especially Cincinnati) is making some of the best beer in the country. This year's Great American Beer Festival is a great showcase of that!

Moeller Brew Barn announced today that they are closing their Monroe taproom - and the messages came flooding into my inbox all day, with folks telling me that they thought the location was "cursed". In this week's episode, I take a little dive in to explain to you why I think that the brewery closed its doors - and guess what? It's way simpler than a "curse".
