Cincy Brewcast

This year's Oktoberfest Quest is coming to a close with this episode, a finale to crown the winner with the 'Golden Gnome' trophy! What Cincinnati beer will be crowned the BEST Cincinnati Oktoberfest beer for 2026?

Oktoberfest Zinzinnati's big 50th anniversary is quickly approaching, and I think it's time we get excited about it! Amy Fitzgibbons of the Cincinnati Regional Chamber let's us know why we should!

The Voice Of Cincy Craft is the tagline for Cincy Brewcast, but what does it mean? Has it changed? WHO is the voice?

Fibonacci's new owners are working to bring new life into the nano-brewery/urban farm - without changing it into something that detracts from it's uniqueness. We all love this place, and it's clear that these guys do, too.

MadTree, even as they continue to change and evolve somehow manage to feel more and more like themselves. On this week's episode of Cincy Brewcast we talk about how MadTree fits into the picture of Cincinnati Beer today, and how they continue to do what they do. Head Brewer Brittany Frey shares her thoughts about the industry and where its going - and we OF COURSE - drink a few beers along the way...

It’s been too long, folks… but the Great Ohio Beer Roundtable came to Cincinnati for 2026… and the result was a pretty epic conversation about all things Ohio beer – and the beer industry as a whole. I think we only scratched the surface, though – so we’ll probably need to do this one again sometime! This episode featured some really incredible folks from all ar...

It’s that time of the year, again… and to wrap up Volume 11 of Cincy Brewcast I invited Bill Marx back on the show to talk about this year’s Bacchus Brewfest & Beyond. The festival is continuing to find ways to connect with drinkers, no matter what they happen to be looking for. From what’s in your glass to what’s keeping you entertained to the space that you&#821...

I LOVE the yearly tradition that consumes my garage fridge every winter. We call it Beervent, and it’s more than just a box filled with a different beer that I get to open each day – it’s a piece of the holidays that can’t be skipped. It starts my days (though… I don’t always get to drink the day’s beer until later), and I’m not sure that Christmas w...

This has been an eagerly anticipated episode for me. As someone who both LOVES Alexandria Brewing Company, AND lives on the other side of the Greater Cincinnati area from them, a West Chester outpost is pretty perfect for me. Full disclosure, I work with Alexandria in my day job, and while that doesn’t come in to play at all with this episode… I want you to know! Andy Reynolds has been on th...

In this episode of Cincy Brewcast, I had the pleasure of welcoming back Garrett Hickey as we celebrated some exciting achievements in the world of Streetside Brewery, particularly coming off the recent GABF weekend. We dove into the significance of winning medals and the competitive landscape of Ohio breweries, and discussed how certain styles dominate the awards scene. Garrett shared insights on...

My goodness. Technical difficulties? Again?! I get it slightly under control as the episode progresses, and it WOULD be frustrating if I didn’t have so much fun with this show every year. It’s Oktoberfest season, and this is the finale of a massive bracket I do every year to determine the winner, and the brewer of Cincinnati’s BEST packaged Oktoberfest! I was joined by Marco and...

Oktoberfest season is the BEST season, and this has become a must visit festival for me every year - Oktoberfest at Sonder!

DogBerry Brewing Company is closed, but there's still a lot to understand about how that affects someone involved.

Norwood, Ohio, gets a big win with the opening of Braxton's new taproom at Factory 52. In what COULD have been a huge loss, HiWire recently announced the closure of their Cincinnati taproom to focus on their efforts back home in North Carolina, and with it, a partnership of sorts where Braxton will always be keeping some HiWire beer on tap there. I sat down with Jake and Evan Rouse, two of Braxton...

Gilligan's Brewery is open in Wyoming, Ohio and I sit down with them to give you a peak and what they're all about!

When Mellotone Beer Project announced that they'd be taking over a VERY familiar brewpub space here in Cincinnati, I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew their head brewer and co-founder, Alexandra Nowell, knew what she was doing from her time in the industry, but what I have found since is a space that manages to brew traditional styles really, really well, without being afraid to put their own spi...

This week's episode of Cincy Brewcast features Higher Gravity, and a peek into their continued evolution as Cincy's premiere bottle shop.
