Is Your Taproom Dirty? Are We Still Talking About This?

There's been some more talk about the health code violations from our local taprooms - and I think it calls for a discussion - AGAIN about this topic. Also... I'm drinking some beer from Taiwan, and that'll be interesting. Just as a reminder, this show is brought to you by folks just like you - if you want to become a 'Gnomie' you can go to https://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support to do it!

Higher Gravity's Beervent Calendar - A Breakdown.

I LOVE the yearly tradition that consumes my garage fridge every winter. We call it Beervent, and it’s more than just a box filled with a different beer that I get to open each day – it’s a piece of the holidays that can’t be skipped. It starts my days (though… I don’t always get to drink the day’s beer until later), and I’m not sure that Christmas would feel right without it. For this year, I thought it’d be fun to chat about my favorites, to break down some themes, and to fill you in on WHY you need to get one for yourself next year! It’s a solo episode, with a can of Northern Row’s Hustler Helles… crack one open and enjoy it with me! This Episode’s Links Volume 8, Episode 12 – Higher Gravity Talks Beervent In July

Redacted

Sometimes, I'm asked not to talk about things, sometimes, I'm asked to take things down... It's a fine line between talking about things that NEED talked about, and remembering why I run a website and social channels in the first place. I think it's a good topic, so let's dive into a few drinks and talk about how it all works for me! This is a long one!

Ok... Done With Winter.

It's cold, it's snowy... and It's official - I'm DONE with winter. Let's crack open a drink and talk about it. While we're at it, we might want to talk about some of the drinking news here in Cincinnati, too. Why not?

A Sunday, Snowday, Special Episode!

There is a LOT of snow on the ground, and when you factor in the fact that I missed out on recording an episode of the show last week, AND the fact that I'm stuck in the house - well... we should make a show. Does snow make a good cocktail ingredient? While using the word 'Cocktail' might be a little loose terminology... we're going to figure it out one way or another! Crack one open and enjoy this week's special episode!

Alexandria Brewing Company Is Coming To West Chester, Ohio!

This has been an eagerly anticipated episode for me. As someone who both LOVES Alexandria Brewing Company, AND lives on the other side of the Greater Cincinnati area from them, a West Chester outpost is pretty perfect for me. Full disclosure, I work with Alexandria in my day job, and while that doesn’t come in to play at all with this episode… I want you to know! Andy Reynolds has been on the show a lot, but this one hits a lot different. This is a show that talks about both the growth of them as a company, about the changes that the industry is going through and how some places are managing to navigate them with growth, while others aren’t. We drink some beers… of course – but it’s really an episode about the future of what all this might look like as we keep forging on into uncertain waters. Huge thanks to Andy and the whole Alexandria crew for making this episode come to life – make sure you’re following along via their social media to catch the latest about the new location (or their website at https://www.alexandriabrewingcompany.com of course) and if you like the stuff that I’m doing on this show, or any of the stuff I’m working on – head to http://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support to help it all keep going! Big shout out to http://www.CincinnatiBartenderJobs.com for being the sponsor of Cincy Brewcast, Drinking With The Gnome – and hopefully a lot more in the future! Stay tuned!

The Midnight Train Rolls On

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!

What's Next For Craft Beer?

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 episode. If you like this show or any of the stuff that I create, you can always support by going to https://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support to become a Gnomie. BIG things are coming this year!

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

How Are You Supposed To Make Sense Of Anything?!

Things are nuts. Big breweries are supposedly floundering, small breweries are opening their doors, places may never open, and some projects just kind of disappear? How are we supposed to make sense of it all? This show is brought to you by listeners just like you. If you like what you hear, you can go to http://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/Support to help it keep growing. It's also brought to you by the incredible folks at Dicks Potato Chips. This local brand GETS IT. If you're a fan of this podcast, I know that you'll be a fan of what they're doing, too. With several flavors already available in local stores, bars, and taprooms, the next time you're out and about don't hesitate to snag yourself a bag to see what I'm talking about. Even better... if you, like me, want to keep your home bar stocked at all times, you can jump on their website (http://www.DicksPotatoChips.com) to order some, and get a box delivered right to your front door. Huge thanks to Dicks for sponsoring this episode!

I am obsessed. I love not just drinking, and the culture around drinking - but I love doing it here in Cincinnati and watching the drinking community in this city keep growing. From beer to spirits, and everything in between - I'm fully into it. My podcasts represent that... and I hope that if you're not already as obsessed as I am, that I can hopefully make you a little more so!
