The Weekly Pint

In this week's episode of The Weekly Pint, we dive headfirst into the chaos that makes our happy hour gatherings so special. We kicked off the show with a shoutout to MadTree for their fantastic gift packs and the exciting Psych Night event on September 20th. Then, we shifted gears to a crowd-sourced Oktoberfest beer showdown, pitting High Grain's Meadow against Streetside's Fest Beer....

In this episode of our weekly virtual happy hour, I, the Garly Gnome, share my post-camping exhaustion and the joys of our annual Labor Day camping trip. Despite being dirty and tired, I dive into the heart of our show, which is all about hanging out, having a drink, and discussing whatever's happening in life and the beer industry. This week, I cracked open an Octoberfest beer from Esoteric,...

In this episode of The Weekly Pint, we kick off with a laid-back happy hour vibe, sharing what everyone is drinking and diving into some old beer nostalgia. I crack open a three-year-old can of Rebel Mettle's Mettle Mayhem, an India Style Pale Lager from a brewery that no longer exists, and surprisingly, it holds up well. This sparks a discussion about aging beers and the unique flavors that d...

In this episode of The Weekly Pint, we dive headfirst into the excitement of Oktoberfest season, my absolute favorite time of the year. I share my enthusiasm for Oktoberfest beers and the extensive collection I've amassed, ready for the ultimate showdown. This year, I've introduced a seeding process to the competition, aiming to make it more organized and fair. We also experience some tech...

In this episode of The Weekly Pint, I kick things off with a bit of a grumpy start due to some family-related delays, but we quickly dive into the heart of the show: the beginning of Oktoberfest season. We discuss various beers that listeners are enjoying, and I introduce the first showdown of the Oktoberfest Quest 2024. Last year's winner, Sonder Oktoberfest, goes head-to-head with a previous...

In this episode of The Weekly Pint, we dive into a variety of topics, starting with the usual chaos of my home life and the joys of trying to wrangle the family while recording. We kick things off with a delicious beer from Urban Artifact's Small Batch Society, Operation Plowshare, a coffee and donut fruit tart that truly hits the spot. As always, we share what we're drinking and pretend w...

In this episode of The Weekly Pint, we dive into a variety of topics, starting with a candid discussion about the unpredictability of live shows and the looming threat of a tornado watch. Despite the chaotic start, the focus quickly shifts to the heart of the show: craft beer. I share a little bit of my excitement for Oktoberfest season, discussing the arrival of Oktoberfest beers on shelves and e...

We kick this week's episode off with a discussion about Humble Monk's recent GoFundMe plea for help in moving their brewery down the street, and the possible legality of the rewards that they were offering. The episode then gets extremely derailed as I take a stab at discussing old beer on local shelves (and who's fault it actually is when it happens). From there I quickly started to t...

We're kicking things off by talking about the new food program at Swine City in Fairfield. To celebrate their hot dog restaurant, we're going to drink a six-pack of their hot dog-themed beers. This will be interesting. We'll also talk about some label approvals that came through over the last month.

If this was a show, I'd be apologizing to the live audience for being WAY late. Heck... If it was a show, I'd be apologizing to the podcast listeners for being a week plus late with uploading the episode. It's not, though. It's an excuse for us to have a drink together, so crack one open!

Family vacation... there's a lot to be said about it, especially when it involves deer and bison slobbering all over your car, arms, and children. I would have much rather been sitting in a taproom trying to find more local beer in Sandusky, Ohio. It's all about compromise, as I've been told... and we did. My trip away wasn't all bad, though - I found a couple of new (to me) brewer...

Walnut Liqueur? Walnut Liquor? Let's see if this one is any good! I crack open a bottle of Darna's Orahovac and give it a taste... because why not?

I've been sitting in the middle of a lot of news stories, a lot of conversations, and a lot of deep thoughts about what success and failure actually mean. What does it mean for the breweries that we love? Where does what we want and what they want have crossover? What does any of that matter when it's "just beer" at the end of the day?

We're back from a great long weekend of camping with the family - which means things are a little "out of sorts" around the house (when are they not?) On this week's episode, I had the live audience choose a beer for me, although - when I was disappointed with their choice, we all called an audible and switched things up. After a long process of trying to figure out how old my be...

After letting everyone down with a sort of broken cocktail promise last week, we're back with another "crowd-sourced cocktail" on this week's episode. It's so much fun that I think it's safe to say that this will become a regular feature on the show. It's where the live listeners get to randomly choose a few ingredients that I'll attempt to throw together into a m...

I promised that we were going to drink a cocktail this week but things have been a little nuts. While I'm not sure if it counts as a "cocktail," I am going to dump a bunch of booze in some beer and see what happens. What could possibly go wrong?

It's been a crazy week! I teamed up with a group of our local podcast community that we lovingly call the "Cincy Pod Squad" to knock out the Flying Pig this year - and it was insane to say the least. On top of that, HighGrain Brewing Company opened their new location in Springfield Twp - and I have some fun drinks calling my name from the fridge.

With a trip to Columbus in the rearview mirror, there are more than a few things to talk about on this week's episode. I took a spin through ALL our stops while we were out of town and gave you the highlights (and lowlights of each one). Since it's been a few weeks, we had a nice selection of beer label approvals to cover—and there were some goodies in the mix! The live viewers selected a...

I was running a little behind schedule, and things are little chaotic for this week's episode - but there's a good reason - a once in a lifetime insanely amazing celestial event. I opened a can of Gaffel Kolsch, which, fittingly enough, also created its own chaos. The Weekly Pint is more than a live show that airs on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter every Monday evening around 9:30 pm - it&#3...

Part of being a content creator - and absolutely loving it is enjoying watching other folks out there kick the creative parts of their mind into overdrive. It's why April Fools Day is so much fun for me! This year, we've got a couple of really great ones from our local spots - And I couldn't help but share them with you! I also dove into the beer cellar to crack open a bottle of Urban...

Not only do we have some fun label approvals to talk about this week, but we've also got some really wild news about some distilling "stuff" in town. With that... I think it's only fitting that we not only drink a cocktail, but that I let those folks listening live choose the cocktail ingredients for me - this'll be interesting!

This week's episode was recorded "even more live" from Northern Row Brewery in OTR. They host a Kolsch night once a month, and I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to things like that. We still talked about all the good stuff from the week that you'd expect, including the pure happiness that comes from a brewery's grand opening celebration, as well as the nerdy joy that I ge...

This week's episode of the weekly pint starts a little rough because I'm a doofus. I hit the button WAY before I was ready to go live, so I got to start the show flustered, which is always fun... We hit the ground running, though, as I cracked open a crowd-chosen can of Seventh Son's Tuk Tuk lager (which was great) and dove right into some label approvals for a few bourbons that you mi...

Bockfest was a blast - and coming right out of the weekend, you know I'm going to be recapping this years event. We've also gotta talk about HighGrain and NineGiant's expansions - and Sonder taking over their food in their Mason taproom. There's always excitement in Cincy Beer!

Oh man... my whole house seems like it's sick - and it's been brutal. Luckily for us, the point of this show is to kick back and have a drink together - and I'm gonna do EXACTLY that. We've gotta talk about Amp House Brewing selling their space back to the city (and officially cancelling their plans to open) - The Moes Tavern pop-up bar in Loveland - and for the first time in far t...
