The Weekly Pint

A lot of folks want to talk about how the beverage industry (and especially craft beer) are "failing". I think the situation is a little more complicated than most people are discussing... and need to rant about it for a little bit. Of course, we should drink a beer or two while we do that! Huge shout-out to Frau Gruber's Pils and Fat Head's Alpha Ambush for fueling a wonderful e...

We're approaching the turn of the new year, a time when so many people make resolutions, new goals, try to change things about themselves - I've always turned my back on that idea... but maybe not, this year? Let's crack one open and talk about it! Thank you for supporting the content that I make... without folks like you, none of this would exist! If you want to become a Gnomie, head...

An awesome raccoon that knows how to get his own snacks, his own booze... AND he knows Karate? That sounds like a good start to this week's episode! Fueled by Habesha Cold Gold, Malort, HighGrain's JJs Fruit Stand, and some kind of boozy boba balls... There are a lot of rabbit holes that we have to resist diving down! If you like this show, or any of the awesome drinking content that I mak...

When it gets cold outside, I just sort of want to dive deep into my beer cellar... so that's exactly what we'll do tonight. We'll drink some schnapps, drink our beervent beer... and then dive into a big old Imperial Stout - because why not? The whole time, we'll talk about local news like Santacon, and a sale that a lot of folks really think is a little more than just a good deal.

This one is late - and I know it's going to be late. Hung up with working obligations, that's just how it's gotta be this week... and I don't really like it. On the PLUS side, today kicks off Beervent, so I'll hurry to get my first beer in before midnight, and then we'll talk about how I'll make it up to you throughout December!

This week is my favorite holiday - Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday to celebrate, and it's also the beginning of another one of my favorite seasons to drink in. What better way to celebrate than with a show that most certainly ISN'T a show? On this week's episode, we drink some Voltage Peppermint Schnapps, A beer that is VERY seasonal (Decorative Gourd from Seventh Son), and...

The government is moving again, so I'm back to collecting label approvals... that's the good news. The bad news? They're also trying to federally ban weed water. It's definitely time to be loud about your opinions, which is exactly what this show is for! We drink some Casamigos margaritas, we talk about Rogue... it's an action-packed and LONG episode of the show that isn't...

The weather is very - seasonal today - and while I swear that I'm NOT Ready... I am getting there. Let's drink some big beers, play with some fire and get even MORE ready!

TheGnarlyGnome.com/support Huge thanks to Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt as well as the Holiday Craft Beer Extravaganza for support...

I keep reading articles telling me that craft beer is dead, the some kind of boom or bubble is bursting and that we're all doomed. Is that true? Also... why am I drinking Voltage Peppermint schnapps before the holiday season? What can is under the wrap? There's a lot to unpack on this week's episode!

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 talked about everythi...

I realized earlier in the day that I hadn't had a cocktail on the show (that isn't a show) for a very long time... so I figured I'd remedy that on this week's episode. I ALSO realized that in addition to not having one, I'm also a lousy bartender. These two facts combined together result in the episode's live audience creating a cocktail for me - and it ends up... interesti...

It's a great weekend to open a couple beers and hang out! Cincinnati brings home a whole bucketload of gold medals in a GABF that saw Ohio set new records with it's wins. On top of that... hemp-derived THC is banned? What is going on?! It's a recipe for a good episode of the show that's not a show. If you like this, or any of the stuff that I create, you can always go to http://www...

Maybe it's a little bit of clickbait... but Oktoberfest season is officially ending for me this week (I mean... I have quite a bit of Oktoberfest beers in my fridge to drink) and I'm gearing up for the next season to come rolling in! We crack open a couple of beers (MadTree Light Lime, and a Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald) and talk about all the stuff that's coming up on the schedule!

Sometimes, you just need to drink something a little, well... strange. It's a part of a bigger picture of what's happening in the beverage alcohol space. Let's drink, let's talk... let's figure this out. If you like this show and you'd like to support it, know that you can go to http://www. TheGnarlyGnome.com/support

Coming off an incredible Oktoberfest weekend... we've definitely got a few things to talk about! We kick it off by drinking a little pour of something from a (fake?) doctor, which ended up not being as bad as I thought it would be, moving right into a couple beers that ended up being just as delicious as I expected. We talk about Michelob Ultra's new role as the best-selling beer in the Un...

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 working on a taproom...

The weather is changing, I'm busier than ever... it can all only mean one thing - It's officially pumpkin season! Let's have a drink and unpack it all (not without plenty of chaos as usual...) If you like this show, know that you can support by heading to http://www. TheGnarlyGnome.com/support

Let's go! It's late, but there are no rules when it's not a show! This week's episode is focused on my weekend of camping with the family, drinking a bunch of beers - and MAYBE a little showdown to spice things up!

Fueled by a conversation about another local taproom, I've been wondering what's going on what I've dubbed the 'Big-Osas' - let's crack open a beer and talk about it!

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 listened to live - tu...

There are plenty of things happening at any given time here in Cincinnati's drinking scene, and even more that we can speculate about coming in the near future. I think we should do that! Let's get to speculation!

There's been plenty of news lately about how the city is way too dangerous, and it's clearly scaring people away - which is bad for some of our favorite businesses. We need to talk about what we should worry about, or what we shouldn't. Just a reminder that this show wouldn't be possible without folks like you! Thank you for your continued support at http://www.

I'm back from a long weekend away with the family, I have a bunch of bug bites to show for it, and I am feeling a little nervous as I head into my "busy season". It sounds like a good recipe for a great episode of the show that isn't a show! On this episode, we sip on some Becherovka, and a glass of Orange Juice... or an IPA... or NE IPA... something. If you like this show, or an...

Summertime brings plenty of drinking experiences, and plenty of beers that suddenly taste great... or maybe they tasted great the whole time? I don't know... but we'll figure it out by drinking a bunch of them. We also talk about what inspired this whole rabbit hole I've been tumbling down, a beer from Sierra Nevada.

It's been a heck of a week. My oldest broke her arm this weekend - that was fun - and the news of Ohio Eagle closing, or selling, or SOMEthing is fresh. It sounds like we should probably crack open a drink and talk about it all! I drink some Glazed Donut vodka, that was gross - some Malort Spritz, that was weird - and a GREAT unfiltered lager from Chicago!
