The Weekly Pint

It feels like I might be trying to convince myself as much as I am trying to convince you, but as the weather changes and gets very “seasonal” this week, it changes how I feel about drinking, and what I’m drinking. So while I’m certainly NOT ready for that time of year, I MIGHT be ready for drinking like it’s that time of year. To celebrate, we don’t just knock...

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 tal...

This one starts out rough – with a pour of something horrid called ‘Yukon Jack Snakebite’. It might even be the worst thing that I’ve ever tried on this show, which is saying A LOT. I followed it up with a big glass of Fabled Brew Works’ Last Call of Cthulu, which was quite the improvement! We talk about Verge Brewing’s announcement that they are no longer worki...

It’s always a possibility, but there are a couple of days every year where I pretty much know that this show is going to be late – and when we come out of a long weekend of camping, it’s a pretty good possibility that we’re going to be running a little late. We fire things up, drink a couple beers (and maybe even let them battle it out). It’s a whirlwind of a fun show...

Fueled by a conversation I had the other day with a buddy in a taproom, along with some recent online discussions about a building that is for sale, I thought it was a great week to explore what’s going on with the supposed “Big-Osa’s” as I’ve dubbed the LaRosa’s and Big Ash collaborative space. They announced that they’d be handing over their kitchen to t...

It’s never an easy thing when a local taproom closes, and it’s even worse when it’s a local institution like Listermann Brewing Company. I have a ton of thoughts that I’ve been working my way through – and what better way to work through them than live on a show with you! Grab a drink, and let’s see what happens. The Weekly Pint is a live show, and is best liste...

I love collecting the latest label approvals for our local breweries, and it always sparks a few conversations around the possible products that we might see in the near future. If that doesn’t give you a big hint about where this week’s episode will be headed, I’m not sure what will. I go back to a taste of Twisted Tea flavored whiskey… which still isn’t very good, a...

When the weather heats up, I get the urge to drink a bunch of lagers… so that’s what we’re going to do on tonight’s show. I crack open four different (non-local) lager beers to see if they taste even better when it’s hot outside. We also talk about the inspiration, a new 8.4 oz can that’s coming from the folks at Sierra Nevada… and why an 8.4 ounce serving...

It’s been a real whirlwind of a week. The news that Ohio Eagle was closing it’s doors, or being sold is still super fresh (and full of unknowns… are people losing their jobs?). To top that off, my oldest kiddo broke her arm which was just a ton of fun to deal with. It all means that a drink is in order! I started the show off by giving a Glazed Doughnut vodka a taste (it was terr...

As we head out of Father’s Day weekend, I’m left feeling like it was just a great weekend. Good beers, great food, you know the drill. It all has me in a fantastic mood. We kick off this week’s happy hour by diving into a quick taste of Luxardo Maraschino, which I’m pretty certain I’ve never actually just tried by itself. As it turns out, this stuff is delicious. It w...

It’s been a busy weekend in my house. We’re coming off of a big family camping trip, which is always really exciting when you have to then get your butt home and try to do a live podcast. We were doomed from the beginning… this show was going to be late. Luckily for all of us, we have always said that since this ISN’T a show – there’s no way it’s possible...
