Truth, Beer, and Podsequences

On Kolsch nights, sometimes less is more. But if you want more, there's always Patreon ;) This week, not only do we try to sell you on why you need to come to kolsch night, but we also delve deep into the dark corners of the three shows we watched this past week.   Listen in as we talk about things such as kolsch, how Darth Vader would drink his beer, Belgia-ans, updates on Craft Parenting Pod, Mi...

PRE-ORDER YOUR HIGHER GRAVITY BEERVENT CALENDAR!!! http://highergravitycrafthaus.com/store We actually thought that without Gnome being present, this episode would be more on the rails than normal. Thanks to Producer Nick, however, we went so far off the beaten path that we didn't even cover all of the shows we meant to talk about. Oops. Listen in this week as we go over all kinds of things from a...

PRE-ORDER YOUR HIGHER GRAVITY BEERVENT CALENDAR!!! http://highergravitycrafthaus.com/store We decided to record on the Best Side so we could imbibe in a bunch of fresh hop beers. West Side Brewing, thank you for being an amazing podcast host!  This week, we covered a few shows, and a few random topics. Some of those include:  East Side = No Pride Let's not boo dads, let's yay dads! ...as long as t...

PRE-ORDER YOUR HIGHER GRAVITY BEERVENT CALENDAR!!! http://highergravitycrafthaus.com/store **Get ready for an untold amount of nonsense. Marco and Gnome decided I should not edit this episode, and let EVERYONE hear what normally goes only to Patreon members!  I said it was a bad idea, but I was outvoted. Enjoy this minimally-edited, inappropriate, long ass show!** This week, we talked about a LOT...

Kolsch Night was upon us once again, so we tried our best to give good recappery, some funnery, and still be on time-ery to Northern Row. Enjoy this faster-paced episode where we go over things such as our NFL Deathmatch Challenge picks for week 8, the rollercoaster of Tilray investing, saving craft beer by getting rid of IPA, is rimming the glass the way to pick a pumpkin beer when doing a Styles...

A fluid situation concerning hemp-derived THC products made for some interesting recaps this week.  We had a pumpkin patch providing beers to the Cincy Brew Dads, who found a huffable beer. We had Barstool Perspective's update on the Great Flavortown Tequila Heist. We also had a TON of Gnome content - breaking news about the (hopefully) short-lived hemp-derived THC product ban, GABF and the histor...

An episode full of amazing guest voices! DIPA Josh, Ryan, Gnome, and Blake chimed in here and there as we recorded while waiting for the finale of Oktoberfest Quest to begin. We stayed mostly on track since we had a lot of content to talk about in not a lot of time. Join the loud, rocking MadTree taproom as we discuss things such as: Joe Flacco. Blake shaking down the Cincy Brew Dads to get all th...

Patrick doesn't like Peeps. The Cincy Brew Dads and their test-ees. OktoberGuess...es. Blake ingesting every hop at once. Kegerators as add-ons. Different ways to interpret the phrase "the beer isn't enough anymore". Drinking 151 to make up for a lack of Emily. Getting fish drunk. Misunderstanding the use of beer bottles in pics. Pirates at Oktoberfest.  Does pain help make craft...craft?  All Abo...

Head down to Streetside Saturday Sept 27th, 2025 for their 9 year birthday! Come to MadTree Oakley Tuesday Oct 7, 2025 at 7PM for the Oktoberfest Quest FINALE! With 5 pieces of content to get through, we're gonna buckle down and stick to the notes we all have in front of us, right? Yeah, you know us better than that. Join this week's chaos as we peppered random thoughts into our content discussion...

Not even Kolsch night can keep us on track this week, even Marco was trying to steer the train back onto the rails. NFL Deathmatch picks for Week 3.  Would anyone vouch for us?  Sam Adams being the Seasonal Beer King of Cincinnati. A 3 week lager. The most chaotic episode of Barstool Perspective EVER. Corks are privileged. A very long TWP. Snakebites suck. No longer on the Verge of a brewery. Cryi...

Week 2 of the TBP NFL Deathmatch Challenge, and not a Gnome in sight...so how will this work? Listen to find out! ...oh, we also talked about some Cincy Craft Beer content.  Join the fun as we go over things such as the newest Rhinegeist non-alcoholic options. Is Bret actually taking sips? Hot takes on coasters. Circling back on the "everyone has a price" conversation from last week as we discuss...

It's finally NFL Week 1! We start the newest iteration of the TBP NFL Deathmatch Challenge and go over some awesome Cincy Beer Content. This week we talked about decoction, false bottoms, and RO water being part of Adam Makes Beer's brew day at Depot Brewing. Do Bret and Mike ACTUALLY like local sports? More F-BrewDog news and yay Tilray news. Cincy Brew Dads do Jell-O shots poorly, Matt did an in...

YUGE thank you to everyone who came out to have a free drink with us as we celebrated 4 years of eating up an hour or more of your time every week. We've had a blast doing this show since day 1, and can't wait to keep on going with you along for the ride, even as unwilling passengers sometimes! Joe, Blake, Jason, Alli, Gnome, Josh....you guys are the best.  Sorry for the extra music volume in the...

We had 2 shows that were full of uninspiring and sad news, but also a new Cincy Brew Dads battle to lift the mood! Join us for this Kolsch night speed run as we recap things such as beers that are light and lagery, making toilet wine at Alligator Alcatraz, and the downfall of a Cincinnati beer titan. Sign up for the Cincy Beer Week Street Team!  http://thegnarlygnome.com/streetteam Donate to Gnome...

Mike Stokes of Cincy Brew Bus talks about Cincy and beer. Cincy Brew Dads get bonus points for hating the Steelers. Friend zoning beers. Being Ultra Mid. Terrible whiskeys. Label approvals made a comeback. More vertical perspectives. Jim Koch overseeing truck staging. Everything is "state by state" when it comes to shipping alcohol. There are no arsonists at By Golly's. The By Golly Trolley coming...

A sickly Gnome. Painted on shorts. 70-year olds crushing KY BBA at 9 AM. The truth about the US Open Beer Championship's affinity for NE IPAs and Pasty Stouts. Small cans are the way to go and the USOBC and Barstool Perspective bot agree.  Playing the Florida Man game (again).  Ultra lawsuits. Printing the price on the can fixes nothing. Beverage mix-ups. Cincinnati ruckuses. Cincy Beer Week, Okto...

Cauliflower wings are not wings. Unbecoming shirts. Massive amounts of citric acid. Alternative best wing conclusions and the worst named beer ever. Staying hydrated is responsible. Bald Bret and Teacher Bret. Once again, moderation is key. Send thoughts, requests, and complaints to BrewSkies779@gmail.com. Who's responsible for the garnish? Gnome is entering his busy season but is still taking on...

Robots at birthday parties. Danger Beers. Cincy Brew Dads hitting the Golden Sip Count. Driving montages. Blake and Gnome discuss if you can actually have a favorite brewery.  Waiting to poke beers is BS. He-Man vs Conan. Paving paradise and putting in a parking lot. The Bucket of Misery. Winging it vs Questing.      Corn Sweats are a thing! https://extension.osu.edu/about/resources/corn-sweat-and...

Just because it was Kolsch night didn't mean we stayed on track.  Mostly.  Before making our way to Northern Row, we talked about a whole bevy of things, like Cincy Brew Dads explaining the proper way to swish your beer, Bret and Mike's upcoming Jon Bon Jovi Bar, home distilling, the need to get out of the country after your brewery closes, Tony's impact on the number of Cincy Brewcast episodes, t...

Julia complains about Hopslam. 4-year pod-iversary plans. Debating the most American spirit. Cancer warnings on everything. Respect your robots. Who brought bears to Cincinnati. Gnome putting terrible things in his mouth. Tony Hawk Kickflip flavored vodka. Is the craft of craft beer coming back or is it all a gimmick?  Does Braxton finally have a Cincinnati spot that's going to work? Territorial b...

I'm going to be honest with you all.  This episode was mostly tomfoolery and little re-cappery.  It's what happens when we go Gnome-less for awhile, we have to catch up on the tangents and rabbit holes. Also Julia was dealing with some sinus issues so there may be some terrible edits where she tried to cut out the coughs. Somewhere in the midst of all that we mentioned at the very least the titles...

Does a G&T-Off sound inappropriate? Or does it sound like a golf reference? Is there a best gin and tonic that doesn't involve qualifiers? Do you need a Grand Opening when your soft opening lasts a month? Would your family survive a family vacation?  Can you explain why beer is expensive without using percentages? Are pelletized hops cheaper than fresh hops? Do we have the next Cincinnati Beer...

Kolsch night once again means a shorter show, but we still made sure to put together a good one for you.  Some of the things we babbled about include appreciating taking breaks for sips, going to Warren Buffett's Margaritaville, Elijah's air conditioning service, how Erik Estrada might support weed water, the Barstool Perspective School of Drinking at Bars, and Gnome drinking terrible things from...

Gnome has forgiven us (kinda) so he was BACK on the show this week, which was good because we had a lot to talk about! Things such as Panthers, Pineapples, is there anyone that could anyone bring the Woodburn brand back what it once was, Rhinegeist is only a t-shirt company, making West Coast Lagers a thing, alternative roller derbys, and who's slogan sucks the most. Patreon members can hear how G...

Most times we record at HG. This week we recorded at a DIFFERENT HG. HighGrain's Silverton taproom gave us a fresh perspective and a location for our Q2 video, so be sure to look for that on YouTube! This episode has us contemplating things such as Mike's hair switching places, shining examples of good businesses and people, beer pardons, how many ounces make a good beer sample, an actual schnapp...
