    Drinking Non-Alcoholic Beer!

    Is the world of Non-Alcoholic beer actually improving at the speed that we think it is? Is it actually caught up to the point that the beer might actually be worth drinking in place of a “regular” beer? I have so many questions that I’ve been working to answer for myself. It’s time you joined with me, and we unpack this one piece at a time. While this is definitely not comprehensive, nor is it the end of me talking about NA Beverages… It’s the start that we need to have happen! https://youtu.be/k8bRaALt0w4?si=xS2Yp7YZuB5caCsP

    Drinking Stoop Dayz!

    It’s hard to catch my attention these days with so many different products on shelves in our favorite stores… but Stoop Dayz managed to do that with their bright, clean hard soda brand. When I saw them sampling things out down at Oktoberfest, and saw the positive reactions from everyone trying it – I knew that I had to get them on the show! On the episode we learn all about the brand, how it started, why it started, and what makes it unique compared to the other stuff that surrounds it. Huge thanks to everyone at Stoop Dayz, and to Kelly Moran for taking some time out of her busy schedule to make it happen! I can’t encourage you enough to snag some the next time your out at the store!

    Drinking PonyBoy Slings!

    I’ve been curious… I think that a canned cocktail that scratches the itch has a really important place in my drinking experience, but too many of them just kind of, well… aren’t great. That’s why I wanted to sit down with the founders of PonyBoy Slings on the show. I like them. I think they taste GOOD. Mike and Janell Bass were gracious enough to take some time to sit down with me and tell us the story of PonyBoy, what inspired them to start the brand, and what you can expect from it when you stock your fridge or cooler with them. Make sure you pick up some PonyBoy Slings the next time you see them on the shelf of your favorite retailer, and in the meantime, follow them online at https://www.drinkponyboy.com or on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/drinkponyboy The theme music for ‘Drinking With The Gnome’ is a song called ‘Some Beers’ by Hunting Agnes out of Cincinnati Ohio.

    Drinking Raven's Riff At MadTree Brewing!

    I love cocktails, and I also like the simplicity of cracking open a can instead of mixing a whole bunch of stuff up myself. That’s why I love MadTree’s line of Sway cocktails… they make it easy for a lazy lawn ornament like me. I sat down with Brittany Frey and Sean Cox to talk about this collaboration with the folks over at New Riff. We cover it all, and you’re going to want to hear about not just what this project is, but what other projects are coming from MadTree. This is a good one! If you like this show, or any of the stuff that I do, please… know that you can support it all by going to http://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/Support to help keep making it happen bigger and better than ever!

    Drinking At By Gollys!

    There are a lot of neighborhood bars around the city of Cincinnati. There are dives, there are sports bars, there are cocktail bars, more types of places than I think there are neighborhoods that house them. When you find “your spot” in one of those, you fall in love with it. With that, when you hear that someone new has bought that spot, it’s easy to be afraid of what it means. To continue along this… when that restaurant group turns your spot into the flagship location for a local chain of places… sometimes you’re terrifed. It’s not often that that restaurant group does what the folks at By Golly’s have done, and knocks it out of the park. They’ve taken By Golly’s and found a way to bring the spirit of it into every new location they open, while also preserving the soul of what each existing location was before they came along. That’s extremely difficult, and something I didn’t think they would be able to manage. I’ll happily admit when I’m wrong about something like this. For this episode of Drinking with the Gnome, we sat down with Lance Sizemore, owner of Epic Eeats, and Heather Frye, the Chief Operating Officer to see if we can understand how it all came to be, how they’ve managed what they have, and where it’s all going. We recorded the episode (of course) from the flagship By Golly’s location in Milford, Ohio (iiiiinnnn Milford – if you’re old enough to know…) and I can’t thank both the Lance and Heather for the hospitality, but the entire By Golly’s staff. Folks were so wonderful there that even after we finished recording, I had to stay for anohter beer I was having such a great time. That’s the sign of a great podcast if you ask me! Don’t forget, this show – like everything that I do – is brought to you by listeners just like you. It wouldn’t be possible without the support of the folks who are as obsessed as I am.

    Drinking At The 1860 Taproom In Harrison

    On this week’s episode of Drinking With The Gnome, we take a journey out to Harrison, Ohio, to talk to owner Rob Watson about what makes this space work in an ever-crowded market like we have in Greater Cincinnati. We drink a couple of beers and explore how their evolution might be precisely what saved them over the last five years. Huge thanks to Rob and 1860 for taking the time to make this episode happen. If you want check this great place out, make sure you hit them up on social media, via their facebook page. Also, I have to give a huge thanks to Hunting Agnes, they provide the theme music for this show!

    Drinking At Binski's Bar With Kiel Erdelac

    My favorite. It’s not a term that I throw around very often… tastes change, feelings change, and the desire for different experiences is a real thing. Binskis is my favorite bar, though. I can say that without hesitation (with the caveat that if owner Kiel Erdelac screws up and starts changing things… I might change, too) because I love this place. Binskis is the perfect blend of a neighborhood bar, with just the right amount of “dive-iness”, community, good feelings, a proper sense of humor, and great drinks. It checks all the boxes. I sat down with Kiel as they were prepping for their first anniversary to hopefully get a good peek at not only what makes them who they are but to give you a good look into why I don’t think they’ll be changing any time soon. Guests On This Episode Kiel Erdelac – Owner/Bartender, Binskis Bar What We Were Drinking Malort… out of an ashtray. Heileman’s – Old Style Malort… out of an ashtray, again. Malort… still out of an ashtray. Malort… ashtray Ashtray… out of a Malort Maloreastray. Drinking With The Gnome wouldn’t be possible without folks like you supporting it!  If you want to become a “Gnomie” please go to http://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support – or help out by sharing this episode with someone that you think would enjoy it!

    Drinking With Sam Calagione: Sustainability And The Bigger Picture

    There’s always been something happening behind the scenes of craft beer – we’re starting to see it very visibly here in Cincinnati with some of our breweries who are getting “old” enough to start figuring out who they are under the surface. Still, places like DogFish Head and Sam Adams have been doing it for decades. I got a chance to sit down with Sam Calagione of DogFish Head to talk about how sustainability and “bigger picture” things have always been a part of their company – and how, still today, they’re pushing to do things differently to have an impact on the world around them. This was part of an event that Sam Adams put on in their taproom where they talked about a couple of their sustainable beer initiatives – and I’m going to get a couple of videos up on YouTube over the next week or two that are also from that event (including this interview) so… keep your eyes open to The Gnarly Gnome on YouTube! Huge thanks to Sam Adams, Sam, and the whole team that put this one together for me… It’s changed the way I look at a brewery’s impact on not only their community but also on the world around them. Cheers! Guests This Episode Sam Calagione – DogFish Head What We Drank Sam Adams – Tractor Beer Sam Adams – Unmalted Lager Show Links Learn More About Sam Adams and Their Sustainability Efforts
