    So I know this has already been attempted in the past, but I'm hoping this one sticks.

    Over the past few months there have been several new breweries hit distribution in Ohio - Oskar Blues, Revolution, and Uinta come to mind immediately.

    What I am hoping is that this thread can be a continuous posting forum for new stuff in Ohio - could be anything from new breweries distributing to the state, or beer release information for breweries that are already distributing here (I.E. Nugget Nectar, Black Note, Rye Da Tiger, etc.).

    So has anybody heard any rumblings of new possible distro to the Buckeye State?

    Columbus Brewing said on their Facebook page that they will start bottling and distributing Bodhi around Valentines Day.

    Also, saw Rye da Tiger in Youngstown today.

    I would love to be able to get Columbus brewing down in the Cincy area.

    If we start a rumor about Russian River coming here can we make it happen? Also, join Beer Geeks (Dayton) on Facebook. Up to 400 or so members with lots of local news (Dayton and rest of Ohio)

    Did they delete that? I'm not finding it...
    I really hope it happens, though! Perfect way to bring in Spring.

    They didn't "announce" it on their Facebook which is why you're not finding it. I specifically knew they were gonna bottle it and posted on there asking when we should expect it and they replied around Valentines Day. I'm sure if you scavenged through all of the comments by fans you would find it. I'm not going to necessarily announce my name on here but my comment was on January 10th.

    The brief transcript went like this:

    Me: "What is the status of Bodhi in bottles?"

    Columbus Brewing Company: "While there is no exact date set, we are guessing somewhere around Valentines day."

    Coming from within the state, the new Portside Distilling in Cleveland has started brewing beers as well. Haven't had a chance to try any of their liqour but i will give both their beers and spirits a shot when able to. Although i doubt the will distribute much anytime soon so they will be limited to the Cleveland area.

    If you're around Columbus, Granville Brewing is supposed to be selling their bottled beers pretty soon. I think they're all going to be Belgian style brews if I've heard correctly.

    Has anyone heard if or when Hop Juju is getting bottled by Fat Head?

    Street date of Feb. 2nd I believe. Blacklick is doing a tasting at the end of February.

    I had heard they were already in there... (my wife works with the owner's wife). Of course maybe the info ought to have been that Blacklick was where the beer would eventually be.

    I'm not sure these days if it's worth the effort to post events to the events page since so much of the old functionality seems to have lost usage/traffic, so I'll mention that CBC will be doing a Creeper tapping party at Bob's on Feb. 15th. Habanero Bodhi cask is slated as well. Those that check the FB page might have already seen the announcement.

    Habanero Bodhi cask!? That may be worth the drive up from Cincy!

    I'm a recent Cincy transplant, so I'm not completely familiar with all the local stuff... Has Hop Juju ever been bottled before? If its half as good as head hunter I may buy a case!

    Has not been bottled. I think so far all they have bottled is headhunter, bumbleberry, and their christmas beer. Hopefully more to follow. If i remember correctly someone said in another thread the their goggle fogger hefeweizen may be getting bottled in the future too?

    Oddly enough, the only place I've ever had it was at Dutch's Bar and Bottle Shop in Cincinnati.

    They're brewing it in Feb but not sure if it'll be bottled this time since Oompah Loompah is coming out in that timeframe.

    My favorite place in the area.. hands down. Good people and they never just leave the whales out for everyone to snatch without realizing what they just bought. I also love that they don't just name a bunch of stuff if you say "you got anything rare?" The response you'll get for that question is "well, what are you looking for?" I love that. They reward the people who know what they're looking for and actually understand the value of what you're buying.

    In other news, is there any truth to the rumors that Oompah Loompah is getting pushed to March release?

    From what I heard, yes. Apparently they are having some problems getting it the way they want it and won't release it until they are satisfied.

    This was second hand info - Fat Head's sales rep telling a retail buyer, so take it at that. If I'm up there this weekend, I will confirm.

    Just talked to Joe at Blacklick earlier today, and he says they should be getting in the Granville Brewing bottles in this Monday.
