The latest Cincinnati drinking news is ready for your ears! From Krogers new play in the wine industry, to a forgotten bottle of rum... there's a lot to explore!
Simplicity at it’s finest. The Highball isn’t about complication or fancy glasses, crazy garnishes, or a boozy drink… it’s about taking a spirit, and making it more approachable. It’s a thing of beauty when done right – and an embarassment when done wrong. What’s the story, though? What makes a great Highball? Where did they come from? Where do you even start? We’ll unpack it all on this episode – so make yourself a drink (2oz of any spirit, over ice, with four onces of soda water… it’s that simple) and let’s dive in!
Finding ways to make what we’re drinking taste the absolute best is can isn’t always about putting the best things in your glass (though, that’s always the best place to start) – instead, there are tons of little factors from the environment to the people that you’re drinking with that can change the drink itself. Let’s dive into that (with a drink in hand!) On this week’s episode, I drink some of Northern Liberties Rum Cask finished Bourbon, some Triple IPA from Hoof Hearted, and crack open a bottle of MadTree’s Joon
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.
I promised cocktails, so we’re going to drink cocktails. I didn’t promise that I’d find this week’s cocktail by any means more than randomly flipping through a cocktail book and picking one that looks tasty, though – but as it turns out, that’s a good method. The Fiesta Cocktail turned out to be a good one! It was a good start to some fun stories like the latest in the Lager House collaboration series coming this week, and the introduction of High Grain’s new canned cocktails: all fun stuff. From there – we had to take a big dive into the deep end as we tried to start unpacking the chaos of By Golly’s and their parent company Epic Eeats. As these things go, though… we got a little sidetracked by the very first part of the story. Looks like there will be more to talk about!
This week’s episode is about ‘Small Beers’ and their growth. It’s not just small format servings, though… breweries are leaning hard into lower ABV beers that meet drinkers where they are right now. The question that brings forth for me is what does this mean for drinkers? What does it mean for breweries, and most importantly – what the heck does it mean for the industry overall? It’s a booze fueled conversation… fueled specifically by a flight of four “Rums” – I say that lovingly… because one of them might have been some sort of rum-like NA option. It was weird, a little surprising, but in the end a great way to keep rolling through my warm weather Rum-exploration. In local news, through a label out of Rhinegeist, we might have a sneak peek at one of the first beers to come out of the New Riff collaboration (and I say ONE of, very carefully… because if I’m right – we might be seeing more than one of these!) Cuvee’s, plans for next week’s episode. It’s action freaking packed.

I’m not one to pay attention to what other people do to influence what I’m drinking – but the recent annoucement of Cincinnati’s ‘HighBall’ in OTR got me wondering if this is a sign of people not wanting big drinks… or if it’s just a part of the natural ebb and flow of the bar industry. How does one solve a riddle such as this? You drink a big old HighBall, that’s how. We might be getting ahead of ourselves. To kick off this week’s episode of The Weekly Pint we’re continued the journey that is lovingly called the “rumination” – that is my journey thorough the world of rum (one glass at a time, of couse) with a taste of one that I haven’t been looking forward to: Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum. It might not come as a surprise to most of you who have tried it before – but it’s not very good. Lots of vanilla, very “fake” tasting… not something I’ll be chomping at the bit to try again any time soon. Evidently you’re supposed to put it with coke. I jumped into this week’s news with the closure of Highball, and then to make things a little happier, shared the fun news that Fabled Brew Works is currently on the way to Copenhangen for an international tap takeover. I’m not how that happens, or what the crowd at an event like this will look like – but I think it’s awesome, and if my wife would let me, I’d be on a plane right now to go support. From here, we covered the death of Schlitz at the hands of their Pabst ownership group a sad story for anyone who is a fan of legacy brands, or regional brands that hold on tight to the historic side of things. A chonky can of MadTree’s Queen City Pale Ale led into a detective session about what Craft Beer-centric restaurant might be for sale (or might be sold aready?) and that quickly moved into a can of something called Ožujsko – and no… I have no idea how to pronounce it.

This time of year feels like it was MADE for drinking something tasty. So what type of gnome would I be if I DIDN’T have something? I continue my quest through rum with a little taste of some Rhum Agricole in the form of Rhum JM VSOP, and follow that up with two beers – a perfectly on theme can of Rhinegeist Summer (a lemonade shandy) and a can of Highgrain and Nine Giant’s ‘High Giant’ collaboration. Good show? Yeah, good show. Standard mistakes… yeah, I make some of those.
