0210 The Best Craft Beer – August 2017 Making this monthly list of the Best Craft Beer I had isn’t always easy. I start by reviewing what I had, then narrow it down from there. Without fail, it seems to become more difficult each month to just list a handful. […]
0001 Are you ready for another new brewery to open? If you live north of Cincinnati then you are going to be thrilled to hear about Grainworks Brewing. Cincinnati already has a large amount of breweries in the Central and Eastern neighborhoods but the North and West areas have taken […]
1210The hot days of summer will turn into the cool temperatures of fall soon enough. But before you jump into drinking pumpkin and Oktoberfest beer, take some time to enjoy craft beer that pairs well with the heat. Watermelon craft beers are ideal for the hot days of summer. And if […]
0200I am a huge fan of marketing; especially when it applies to craft beer. It’s interesting how a brewery can use marketing to move craft beer into the minds of more and more people. Marketing helps change mindsets and influences decisions. That is what makes the story of MadTree Dreamsicle […]
1301If you know me at all then you would know that I am not the biggest fan of pets. Some may assume that means that I didn’t have any growing up. It was quite the opposite, throughout my childhood we had dogs, cats, fish, lizards and birds. Not sure why, […]

4200I love hops. It’s a topic that some may think is over played but I consider it one of the most important factors driving modern craft beer. There are so many different varieties and more being created all of the time allowing us to explore new flavors. Outside of new […]
7101 Craft beer festivals aren’t anything new. They happen just about every week in every large city. But every once in a while, there is a beer fest that makes me wonder why I didn’t think of that first. This is one of those kind of events. The 450 North […]
3101Anyone that follows craft beer in Cincinnati knows that on Monday August 7, 2017, Blank Slate Brewing closed their doors for good. This came out of nowhere and without an official announcement, we were left to speculate. I couldn’t believe that Blank Slate closed and I wanted to know why. […]
1303It seems like every week there is another news story about the ownership of a brewery changing. For those that are craft beer enthusiasts, we do our best to stay up to date but it can be nearly impossible. I attempted to find a comprehensive list but I couldn’t find […]
