The Weekly Pint

I didn't want to be too boring with my celebration of Cinco De Mayo, and instead, I might have made a terrible error. I picked some of what might be the worst margarita imposters that were available. This will be... interesting. Luckily, we can talk about Awards, and about upcoming new releases from Rhinegeist. A silver lining I suppose! This show is brought to you by listeners just like you!...

Cincinnati has a drinking culture that I just can't get enough of, every week - I use this "show that isn't a show" as an excuse to find my way through that culture - one glass at a time! This show is brought to you by listeners just like you. If you like what you hear, you can go to http://www. TheGnarlyGnome.com/Support to help it keep growing. It's also brought to you by t...

West Coast IPA - it used to get beer drinkers talking because they were shocked by it's bold personality. Today, it gets people talking because so few places are making them, and some of the ones that are making soft, hazy versions of the style that just AREN'T West Coast IPAs. I crack open a new one from MadTree to see if they've done it justice. I talked about breweries here in town...

Things are nuts. Big breweries are supposedly floundering, small breweries are opening their doors, places may never open, and some projects just kind of disappear? How are we supposed to make sense of it all? This show is brought to you by listeners just like you. If you like what you hear, you can go to http://www. TheGnarlyGnome.com/Support to help it keep growing. It's also brought to you...

The river is UP. In fact, the water is so high that a few of our breweries are either underwater or unable to open due to flooded streets. It's a great opportunity to remind us to support the places that we love, especially when things get rough out there. We kick the show off with a taste of some 'Orahovac' which is just as tasty as I remember it being. A bottle of sparkling Sake and...

I'm home alone... well... I have the Gnome-dog, but things are surprisingly quiet over here. It's a great excuse (and I'm always looking for one) to open up a beer and have a few drinks! It's not a show... but if it were, it would be a fun one! We started with 'The Schnappening' and cracked open a bottle of Darna's Amaro, which ended up being absolutely delicious! That...

It's been a hectic week over here at The Gnarly Gnome Tavern... and the best way I can think of to improve things is to hang out with YOU and have a drink! On this week's episode, we dive into some bitter wormwood liquor, then move on to some high proof moonshine that may or may not needed a little watered down. I talk about some crazy social media drama, and then wrap things up with some...

I LOVE Paddy's Day, but this year has been a little "hectic" - that doesn't mean that we won't find a way to celebrate together (with the help of 'Producer dAvId' - who's gotten a little bit of an upgrade. What resulted was... well... interesting. This show is brought to you by listeners just like you. If you like what you hear, you can go to http://www. TheGnarly...

This week, The Weekly Pint focuses heavily on Bockfest and how you should best experience the three-day festival. With that said... we are NOT drinking bock on the show. Instead, I dove into some peppermint schnapps, cracked open a Dogfish Head beer, and mixed up a little cuvee with beer and a canned cocktail. It's a great example of why the 'Show That Isn't A Show' is so much fun!

On this episode, we dove into the world of unique spirits, featuring a standout called Nixta Licor de Elote, a corn-based liquor that surprised me with its approachable flavor profile reminiscent of moonshine. I shared my tasting experience, highlighting its sweet and earthy notes, and how it could be a fun addition to any home bar. The main event of the night was an experiment with AI as my virtu...

I don't know why I'm doing this to myself... but tonight's drink is something... special. I'm diving into a big old can of something called Too Turnt, Daddy... It's going to be interesting! We'll talk about some of the recent problems with distribution, about the dangers of coffee, and of course we'll hang out together!

I HATE when a place closes. I suppose that we had some advance warning that this was a possibility, but it still hurts the soul a little bit. Time for some drink related healing. On this week's episode, we drink some Becherovka... and I had no idea what to expect when I cracked the bottle (as it turns out, it's delicious) - I also drank a can of West Side Brewing's Italian Style Pilsner. We check...

This is a wild one... New Ales up in Middletown, Ohio, made a mustard lager - and thanks to some friends - that's what we're going to drink on tonight's episode (after some... sorta schnapps) - it's all good to kick off the show where we talk about some Superbowl commercials of the past! This show is brought to you (sort of) by the incredible Dicks Potato Chips. If you want to see...

On this week's episode, we'll roll through some new label approvals, while we drink a couple beers from Swine City Brewing in Fairfield, Ohio. The make some weird stuff, so there's no telling how this one will go!

Holy smokes... I've known about this spot for a long time, and even tried a few of their products - but have never actually bellied up to see what it's all about for myself. We'll talk about it, try some fun wine, and maybe even rant about some local beer stores that might not deserve my beer money anymore. If you're new to The Weekly Pint - this isn't just a podcast, it's...

After a couple of rough weeks with some faulty technology in my house... we're back at it full force with a strange bottle of booze and a whole bunch of new beer labels to check out. Make sure you tune into the show live, every Monday night around 9:30pm!

New Year's is fast approaching, and while I don't really make resolutions, it sort of seems appropriate. We talk about success, we talk about new taprooms, and we drink a little schnapps a bit of beer to wash it down.

There's been a LOT of talk lately about places closing or struggling - and a lot of folks want to call it a "beer bubble" - but you don't hear the same talk about restaurants which seem to be struggling as much or more than our local breweries are. We'll talk about that, check out some recent label approvals, and drink a few beers (and maybe some schnapps) to celebrate the season.

This show was INTENDED to be a salute to the dark beers that tend to dominate this time of year. As you should be famliar with at this point if you're a regular listener - it doesn't always work out the way you expect on TWP. My littlest kiddo was hanging out and super talkative, that along with a football game at the same time, made things a little too chaotic for a normal episode!

I fully intended to talk about drinking during the Christmas season, but after being sidelined early on with one of my kids... it all went off the rails (as usual).

Christmas is knocking at the door, and I'm refusing to answer it until we get through Thanksgiving... but I'll be darned if I'm not excited for it to get here. I love drinking this time of the year!

In this episode, I share with you a unique and somewhat regrettable tasting experience with Twisted Tea Sweet Tea Whiskey. I share my initial excitement and subsequent disappointment as I discover its less-than-appealing taste, even attempting to salvage it with various mixers. Spoiler alert: it didn't get much better. We also touch on the recent 6th anniversary celebration at Sonder Brewing, wher...

In this episode of The Weekly Pint, we dive into the heart of what makes our weekly hangout special—sharing drinks and discussing the latest happenings in our lives and the booze industry. I kick things off by introducing a unique drink, melon Soju, and walk you through its history, how to drink it, and my personal tasting experience. We also explore the fun and quirky rituals associated with Soju...

In this episode of the podcast, we dive into the delightful chaos that is our live happy hour. We kick things off with a discussion about the technical hiccups that always seem to accompany our live sessions, but hey, that's part of the charm, right? We then move on to the main event: a tasting of Wooden Cask's Maple Corruption, one of the six variants being released at the upcoming Corruption Fes...

In this episode of The Weekly Pint, we dive into the world of Cincinnati beer, starting with my ongoing Oktoberfest quest, where I taste and rank all the packaged Oktoberfest beers of the season. I also share my thoughts on Third Eye Brewing's Groovy Baby, an English mild that’s become a staple in my fridge. We then move on to some significant local news. Hearth Brewing has announced its grand...
