New to Ohio (2018)

We’re gettin’ there, brother

 

Cincinnati has three great releases this weekend. Birthday editions of Fiona from Listermann, Black Cherry Fruit Tart from Urban, #blessed from Streetside. Looking forward to trying all three, then bringing some up to Hoof for Key Bump/Mom Jeans release on Sunday.

 

If that's an IPA then Cantillon is a Berliner Weiss...

Touché salesman.

 

Just like to say I went to Cleveland yesterday. No kidding that Masthead Citra Vice and Tiramisu Underverse were legit. Also wanna put their neighbor Noble Beast on notice their Milk and Cookies Milk stout was right up there with Tiramisu. The added cookie garnish was just right.

 

The food at Noble is phenomenal as well. It's the only place I grab lunch these days. Plus I love the space. Really cool sitting ten feet away from them as they're brewing something new up.

 

Food is ok from what I have had, but I’m not going out of my way for a $14 burger.

 

I've also heard that the food at Noble is awesome. Haven't had it yet. I will say that I do enjoy the food at Masthead. The Everything Pretzel with pimento cheese dip is the stuff of which dreams are made.

 

I think the price reflects the quality and also portion size, but yeah it's not cheap.

 

Warped Wing dropped Baltic Argonaut porter rum ,rye,and port wine variants this week be on the look out they looked pretty good hoping to crack one tonight and drop a review

 

New to Ohio - Southern Tier opening a satellite brewery in Cleveland!

Distributing? Baltic Argonaut is one of my favorite non-ba dark beers. Wondering what the barrels do to it.

 

Got a press release in my email from local rep. I believe they should “officially” announce it tomorrow.

See the PR above - thanks @Elkevjoe!

 

Nice! I don't love ST beers, but their facility in Lakewood is beautiful and always a fun time. Look forward to seeing what they add here in Cleveland. Has potential!

 

This market is beyond inflated, it has to go the other way soon.

 

Don't forget... Brewdog is also opening up a Cleveland location soon. But to be honest, I am more excited about Brewdog and Southern Tier than a lot of the other newer spots... I just have somewhat "given up" on all the new small breweries opening up… The quality is rarely ever there. Not saying the beer is bad per-say, but if it’s not elite in this market why go back? A big problem is each place is just trying to make every style and typically can’t do them particularly well. Very few stand outs.

I just can’t wait for that new Fat Head's location to open up around May, then I will be set... Especially now that I literally work less a 1/4 mile or so away… win win win win!
