Hey, I just moved to Cincy and I am living in the Hyde Park Neighborhood. Can anyone recommend some good craft beer shops and homebrew shops. Thanks!
Hyde Park Wine & Spirits has always been my one stop bottle shop whenever I'm in town for a Cardinals/Reds series. Jungle Jim's is on the other side of Cincy. I went there earlier this year and actually liked it more. Not to mention it's easily the biggest grocery store I've ever seen with just about every country represented.
If you head straight east on 32, just past 275 you get to Eastgate, where another Jungle Jim's opened a couple years ago. I've never been, since it is on the opposite side of the city from where I'm normally kicking around, but you'll likely find some of the same fine beer choices there that are available in Fairfield.
Listermann's is a great homebrew shop with the added benefit of a brewery attached. Great people there too. As for bottle shops, when I visited I really liked Party Source, though its just across the river. Jungle Jims is worth checking out as well.
Brentwood Wine and Spirits has a great selection and Mr. Friendly will give you some great information and can order certain stuff you're looking for. Also, Half Cut in Over The Rhine has a great selection for growler fill ups and a craft beer bar if you wanna sit and have a beer (ask for Sofia, she's the bees knees)
you want to hit up Dutchs in East Hyde Park on Erie Ave. Great bottle selection and always taping new unique kegs
