Truth, Beer, and PodsequencesEpisode 207 - Denim and DiamondsJust because it was Kolsch night didn't mean we stayed on track. Mostly. Before making our way to Northern Row, we talked about a whole bevy of things, like Cincy Brew Dads explaining the proper way to swish your beer, Bret and Mike's upcoming Jon Bon Jovi Bar, home distilling, the need to get out of the country after your brewery closes, Tony's impact on the number of Cincy Brewcast episodes, the worst glazed donut ever, pak-tek talk, a new way to Malort, it's just about time for Oktoberfest Quest, and there's going to be a very noticeable ripple af...

Craft Parenting PodcastEp. 203 – Being Gnarly With Cincy Brewcast’s The Gnarly GnomeThis week’s episode of the Craft Parenting Podcast features a very special guest who knows a thing or two about craft beer (and sometimes parenting). The Gnarly Gnome – a Cincinnati-based craft beer blogger, podcaster, and YouTube creator known for his Oktoberfest Quests and being synonymous with anonymous – joins Caroline at Voodoo Brewing Co. in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. They discuss a wide variety of topics, including the recent devastation of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee, the evolution of the craft beer industry, the journey from starting a beer blog to launching multiple podcasts to a YouTu...

An enthusiastic Gnome. A super long intro tangent. Pete Townshend. It has to be Tuesday! This week we talk about Urban Artifact saving PA drinkers, a history of Sam the monkey, holding onto history but still interjecting new personality, Listermann can be everyone's spot, who actually listens to Cincy Brewcast, the most lagered lager, Arnold quotes, and how to properly count kitchen violations.

Aside from the beginning of this episode where it is AGAIN, me solo in the studio… this week’s episode is fantastic. I am always more than thrilled to get Brady and Kenny from MadTree on the show. They are at the helm of a brewery that has become an inspiration for breweries all across Cincinnati. When you talk to them, you can clearly see why, also. This is a brewery that pushes it’s own limits, spends a lot of time exploring who it is and that grows in the most organic way possible because of that.

It’s a strange phenomenon here in Cincinnati that salutes the city’s German heritage. Of course - this weekend fell not only on Bockfest, but also on the fifth anniversary of our own Paradise Brewing Company - which to me, sounds like a perfect excuse to get out to Anderson and record with the amazing folks that mak...
