The Weekly Pint

You hear it from all your friends... there's a craft beer "bubble," or no one cares when new breweries open anymore. You might even start to believe it. However, as Fabled Brew Works opens its doors this week, we see it in action. Folks are excited about new breweries still, and I am flippin' excited. It's ok for you to be too!

This week on the show, we talk about that, plus a few other local and national beer and booze stories that I know you'll enjoy. Crack open a cold one and hang out with us!

I drank a tasty Zombie Ice this week from Three Floyds, and although I called it a little "soft" - it was really good.

I have been camping with the family for the last four days - which was awesome. I can't even tell you how much I enjoy just unplugging for a little bit and getting outside. With that, though, comes a lack of preparation for this show, which means I don't have much news for us to talk about.

We covered what I was drinking while we camped, we talked about the Funky Buddha news, and we had a drink together (I had a really old Wiedemann Watermelon Lager).

This week we have some good stuff to talk about. There are a few breweries that have either been sold, acquired, or bought... and I'm interested in what that means for each one of them. We also have some news out of Oskar Blues about their flagship beer, Dales Pale Ale, and its move into a brand family instead of just a brand. For a really wild story, we'll also talk about this "Chicken Beer" that is making the rounds...

If you know me, you know that I'm always sipping on something while I make shows - and this week, it's a great one. I drank CincItalian Pils from West Side Brewing... and I enjoyed it so much I opened another one as soon as I finished recording.

It's been another chaotic week - but things are finally calm. In this week's episode, we talk about my misery and how it all started. We also drink a really tasty beer from Sonder. 16 Lots gets a mention since I'm getting pretty excited about the upcoming grand opening of their second location down at Newport on the Levy. We even chat about World Beer Cup and all the medals that came home for Cincinnati Breweries.

It's a fun episode, though I'm a little biased about that.

Oh, boy. This is one of those days. I'm stressed and beat up from battling more technical difficulties on the podcast side of my life. I'm grumpy. When you boil it all down, though - that's why this show exists. It's an excuse to drink together and enjoy a few minutes of sanity in an otherwise "not so much" life. With all of that being said, this week, we tackled a few big topics:

Huge, huge thanks to everyone who hangs out and listens to this show! If you're new to the podcast, know that this show really shines as it was meant to be... live! Tune in ever Monday night on Facebook and YouTube to get the full experience - and share it with your friends!

It's a long one... I blame the fact that I've been busy and pulled away from making podcasts way longer than I should have been. On this week's episode, we talk about a Consolidation of craft breweries, the changes happening at Rhinegeist, the closure of a North High taproom, and some fun talk about why I'm so freaking excited about 16 Lots!

On this week's episode - I drank TWO beers. Give me some credit for that. I drank Fifty West's new West Coast IPA, and then because I got antsy, I cracked open a can of Bad Tom Smith's 'Don Fernando' Mexcian Style Lager.

This week on the Weekly Pint, we tackle local and national beer news all at the same time... Fretboard goes light, "big beer" goes big, and it shows where the money really is. To kick things off, though, we have to talk about the new Cerveceria Ortega which feels like it might have a big hill to climb in the world of craft brewery taprooms. To wrap things up, how about some talk about Non-Alcoholic beer? It's a lot, it's a whirlwind of happy-hour show chaos.

On this week's episode, I explain how the show is turning into a full-fledged show. After 165 episodes... it's probably about time! I talk about where I've been and talk a little bit about where I'm going. Marco Freeman calls in, and we have a few drinks along the way.
