New to Ohio (2016)

The Reds already have several craft beer stands, what else do you propose that they put in?

 

Beers with abv at 12% it's going to be a long season maybe throw in random kill the keg days I will say they did up their craft game a decent amount though

 

What he said ^

Seriously though, I was being facetious. They have a great selection, but I will probably have to hit the bourbon bar during all of the pitching changes. I would like to see some Fat heads and Brew Kettle make their way in the gates. I like Truth, but have to admit that I will be jealous of you Wahoos drinking White Rajah>

 

May be Bourbon shortage if they keep that bar open all season...that is if folks actually continue to show up

 

I don't know if pitching changes will be the issue. More like "all those strikeouts".

 

I'm pretty sure white rajah and headhunter have been at Progressive Field for a couple years.

 

Gabp too...at least 3 maybe 4 that I remember

 

I have seen Head Hunter at GABP, but never Rajah. Then again, I only made it to Opening Day and the All Star game last year (didn't miss much as it turned out)

 

Listermann Brewing in Cincinnati will be releasing their FOBAB medal winning Chickow in Heaven Hill Barrels on Saturday @ 10 am for their 4th anniversary celebration. This will be in 4 packs, price TBD, probably $25 if I had to take a stab at it.

 

Unfortunately might even be more than that. Have a buddy on the chickow league that asked me if I wanted a single bottle. Selling for $7+ per 12oz

 

Hey I will be in the westerville/columbus area for work soon. what are some good bottle shops in the area? Would love to bring back some fat heads, hoof hearted, or even a Jackie O's stout if possible. Thanks.

 

$7.99+tax with a 3 bottle limit for the presale. Came to $25.59 for the 3 bottles.

 

Still better than $19.99 for a bomber, so I can respect that pricing. I am going to try and make it out for the release on Saturday morning, should be able to.

 

Now all they need is attendance to sell the beer.

 

Tribe needs a good product to drive attendance. They also need a good owner who will fund a good product. But I digress...

I'm very happy to see an increase in local craft beer options at stadiums and arenas. We helped drive that.

 

It is a fun atmosphere at Progressive Field. Lots of cool food and drink options. Worth buying the cheap seats and checking it out on a beautiful day!

 

Maybe someone else can give you better info but one place I know of in Columbus is Pace High Carryout.

 

Agreed, I usually skip the craft experience while at a game and go with a domestic tall boy can.

 

I think Ohio sports teams have pretty good selection in food and beer across the board. Went to a game at Wrigley and couldn't of been more disappointed with the options...oh and the weird bathrooms troughs that encouraged weird eye contact.

 

Crafted Drafts is one of the best bottle shops in town - 5245 North Hamilton Road, Columbus, OH 43230

 

Also, Aficionado's at Polaris is very close to Westerville (off state rd and polaris pkwy) is a good bottle shop. The Westerville Meijer has a good selection for a grocery store and the Giant Eagle on Rt. 23/Rt. 750 corner is good for a grocery store for good new releases.

 

It would appear Creeper is dropping. Weiland's just tweeted they got their keg

 

And in typical JJ fashion, probably released a week or two earlier than the brewery would like. Lol

 

101 Beer Kitchen Gahanna has a pretty sweet lineup for hop fans - Hopslam, Bohdi, Creeper, Juju, Hi Res, mandala simcoe, 3 MCs. Wish I wasn't out of town this weekend!

 

Look for kegs of Alesmith Hammerhead Speedway Stout to hit Ohio this week...

 

Alesmith Vietnamese, Hawaiian and Hammerhead Speedway tapping on St. Patty's at Cappy's in Loveland

 

And next week too. Haha I can't believe Ohio gets these! Wish the bottles would make it too.

 

Anyone hear anything when Ohio / Columbus will be getting KBS?

 

It'll be sometime in April. Haven't heard anything solid yet.

 

If not on April 1st itself, then the following week.

 

I remember last year that a lot of places in Columbus waited until Columbus Beer Week to unleash them. It was pretty easy to find that week.

 

Just saw this

Do they typically do any growler fills?

 

Yep, unless otherwise noted. I got a growler of Super Juicy a few weeks ago when it was on at the brewpub.

 

When is Chillwave supposed to hit stores?

 

Yes but use the wide mouth growlers, easier to get the fruit in.

 

Anyone else try Platform's Bretter Off Dead rye IPA?

I think Hoof Hearted fans would appreciate this ugly fruit bomb

 

Any one know when Founders Mosiac Promise hits shelves? I had it in draft and really enjoyed it as a smooth easy drinking beer. Hope it translates in the bottle.

 

Headed to canton to visit some friends. I'm from Wisconsin. Any recommendations on what to pick up while out in Ohio? Any bottles shops in the canton are worth checkin out?

Thanks guys!
