As a Cincinnati native I have been to these breweries many times. My wife has only been drinking beer for about 2 years. Since then, we visited our 70t different Cincinnati brewery last week. Good episode come back anytime we have plenty more breweries.
As a local, this is a pretty solid selection of what the city has to offer. Of course with so many options, I understand why some spots didn't make it into the video. Love the work here! I recommend Next Exit to visit Richmond, VA for its amazing top tier breweries as well as Ann Arbor, MI for greatness and some very unique spots! Who else has a Butcher shop and brewery?! Cheers everyone!
Cleveland, Ohio-that's who! Haha! There's a place called the Butcher & The Brewer that has absolutely phenomenal selections. I don't live anywhere near there, but I can say that if you visit, you must try their Albino Stout.
I love that you guys enjoyed what we love about what this city was ie the history, what it is - what we have today, where it is going. Thanks for visiting.
Saw this and thought up my City of Cincinnati top 3 (Applies to Covington/Newport): 1. Architecture: The matrix of Italianette/19th century neighborhoods from Northern Downtown to Uptown and N Ky is one of the most extensive in the states, with all kinds of well designed public areas still functioning throughout the city. If Cincy were personified, the neighborhoods/downtown is the dapper 19th century suit it wears. It wasn't until I saw plenty of other suits that I would realize how fetching Cincy's is. 2. Beer: Old beer town. Germans settled the north Downtown area and built pre-prohibition breweries all over the place. Central Pkwy that separates North Downtown from the rest was once a canal that the Germans referred to as the Rhine, and that they lived Over the Rhine (OTR). Its unfortunately been victim to some systemic America issues in recent decades, and now a wave of gentrification has pushed through. Its not exactly macaroon stores and khaki huts yet, there's still some grit. 3. Music: Its got deep history that runs the gambit. Punk up in short vine in the 80's, Motown in the 70's. Country (not southern pop-rock) layover. A Funk stop too. Not to mention Chicago Blues pouring in. A shtickle of some defining Indie bands. A global DJ scene. (Annies on Kellogg...oof...that place had it all). Honorable Mention: Chili (for which I am grateful).
50 west is cool, I really like Old Milford, East Walnut Hills, Oakley, Mt. Adams, Mt. Auburn, Hyde Park, and the drive down Columbia Parkway heading east to west in the summer. I'm a Realtor so I get around town a lot. Skyline is addicting if you grew up here but the hype is kind of annoying to me, the city has so much more to offer. One of my favorite things about Cincy is the diverse architecture and really nice people.
Stumbled upon this series and glad l did. I'm an Aussie, so our beer scene is pretty good too but there's so many places over in the U.S to check out. Thanks for the recs. Making a note of them all.
Microbreweries are fantastic! The one in Cincinnati I like best is Wiedemann on Vine Street in St. Bernard. It has that really 'local' feel to it. The owner once gave me a free 6 pack of different beers. Decent food, outdoor deck and a stage. 50 West is definitely family oriented. The market seems a bit saturated but there is still space for one more on the west side of Cincinnati.
With very close alternates being Last Days of Autumn, Alliance, Shulz Brau, Ebony and Ivory, Elst, Albright Grove, Geezers…. all are based in Knoxville and within a couple mile radius!
Come to Des Moines, IA - there are over 15 breweries in the metro area, and over 100 in the state. Plus we're at an interstate crossroads of I35 and I80 - might as well stop by and say hi!
When I was installing an alarm systems in some of those buildings I was able to explore those caves. I found an intact glass pint bottle. I was able to travel 3 levels down. The lowest one we went not allowed in. It stilled had gold coins from one of the wars and box’s and box’s of rookwood tiles in it.
@@untappd4695 Barrique is super unique , Blackstone is the oldest , Bearded iris is great too , Also southern grist and tail gate to name a few . As someone who’s aspiring to open a brewery in TN. I’d love to see Untappd in the music city !
The Veil, Vasen and Tripple Crossing. Two additional to research are The Answer and Richbrau. Hope you all film there! I have family there and I’ve been to most of these. A must to consider for your next episode. Cheers!
@@untappd4695 Gotta start in NE Mpls - Dangerous Man, Fair State Co-op, Indeed, Able, Bauhaus, Fulton, Modist, Surly, Insight, Inbound - all good and all within a few miles of each other.
@@untappd4695 Strangeways, Triple Crossing, Bingo Beer Co, Ardent, The Veil, The Answer Brewpub, really too many to name but those are at the top of my list!
@@untappd4695 Confluence Brewing, Barntown Brewing & Peacetree Brewing. All have excellent beer & Barntown has amazing food to boot. Also The Iowa Taproom has 99 taps all of them Iowa brews, ciders etc
i loved hudy gold/ 14k beer.. i got my first beer tap from hudepohl on 6st in 1985.. they treated me great . taped over 150 barrels....read [over the barrel] cincinnati
Come to Vancouver, Canada! We have a ton that are walking distance from each other and the province of BC itself has around 200 now! Everything from IPAs to Sours and in between!
@@electriczombie86 depends what you like, but I would recommend Arvon, Speciation, Archival, Grey Line, Brewery Vivant, Third Nature to name a few. Obviously we have a couple bigger ones like Founders and Perrin too. Either way, there is an option for anything your looking for here.
I’ve been enjoying these episodes, despite being unlikely to visit many of the places as I live in the UK. Can I suggest episodes in the UK, set in Manchester, York, Leeds and London that capture the microbreweries that have blossomed…? Even Kent as a county with a few fantastic microbreweries that have set up in recent years.
How dare you visit Rhinegeist without saying "You can't handle the Truth!" Or the Cheetah or the Bubbles... Great representation of our fun beer city. Thanks. Hitting like and subscribe
LTJG Kaffee: Colonel Jessep! Did you order the Code Red?! Judge Randolph: You don't have to answer that question! Col Jessup: I'll answer the question. You want answers? LTJG Kaffee: I think I'm entitled to them. Col Jessup: You want answers?! LTJG Kaffee: I want the truth! Col Jessup: You can't handle the truth! Better late than never, right?
You guys should go to Dayton next. Has a history that's fairly unknown but super interesting. Go to Dayton barrel works and ask for bill. He's a beacon of alcohol knowledge that needs to be shared
Did you guys hit up any other spots/pick up any other local beers for the road on the trip outside of the video? Glad to see one of the newer/smaller/unique breweries in the city represented in Esoteric. Keep up the good work
Thank you, Will! We had a tight shoot but checked out Ghost Baby. Also had lunch at a very cool spot called Dunlap Cafe. Might just have to come back and hit all the hot spots! You have any recs?
I'm surprised that you didn't visit Brink Brewing Company. Brink is the little brewing company that could which is making a major impact in Cincy's brewing scene.
@@untappd4695 Start with Ivanhoe Park, just north of Downtown Orlando. Follow that up with trips to Crooked Can, Rockpit, and Sideward. Also, shout outs to Deviant Wolfe in Sanford and Wolf Branch in Eustis/Mount Dora.
@@untappd4695 An impossible question but I'll try to answer anyway! Not in any order, of course. If you're looking for places that do it all, and that's beer, food, other events like weddings, Christmas community shops, etc, here's three that we'll call the undisputed list: Big Ditch New York Beer Project Resurgence If you're looking for some unique stops, I must mention: Froth (sour styles I have never seen before) Gene McCarthy's (small Irish pub with an incredible atmosphere) Community Beer Works (utterly wonderful, from the inclusive people to the building itself) There are plenty more that I'm still discovering. My rule is I won't pass judgement on a place until I've visited five times!
@@untappd4695 Technically, the area I am referring to is part of the Cincy area. Further south, there's a few good breweries but the name of the game is Bourbon. Braxton in Covington and Bircus in Ludlow are the local to Cincinnati breweries that are on the the Southside
@@untappd4695 I mean there's a whole load of possible destinations and with that almost endless possibilities, which guarantees I'd miss multiple great places, but Kopenhagen; Germany, as in mostly Hamburg, Berlin and Munich with the ultimate contrast between the Reinheitsgebot and more and more craft breweries popping up; Tokyo; Brussels; London... no better thing than travelling around the world tasting beer 🤝🏻
Kenny - obviously since you are Western PA based you MUST do Cleveland next and then my neck of the woods Columbus!!! A days drive and too easy to find great beers!!
Atlanta! That town is really coming up on the beer scene. We have some great new breweries, as well as quite a few long-established ones that have interesting history.
@@untappd4695 Monday Night, Wild Heaven, Sweetwater, Three Taverns, Little Cottage, Wrecking Bar, New Realm, Kettlerock, Mutation, Atlantucky, Inner Voice
We had this very conversation with the owners of 50 West! Apparently volleyball bars are a thing. And perhaps volleyball breweries are a thing, too? We've got at least two data points...
My votes for next season: Grand Rapids, Michigan. Asheville, North Carolina. Cleveland, Ohio. Minneapolis, Minnesota. Founders, Wicked Weed, Platform, Modist.
Asheville NC seems like an easy choice for an episode. Burial is phenomenal and on all kinds of best brewery lists. The Voodoo Ranger lab is there. Asheville is one of the top towns for breweries per capita in the US. The baseball team even has Beer City jerseys. Also, you can stop at Highland to see another brewery with beach volleyball 🙂
@@untappd4695 Burial makes the best beer I've ever had, in my opinion. They put out a new DIPA almost every week and each one is outstanding. Similarly, they put out a stout aged on this or that just about every week. Every one is expertly done with the flavors perfectly mixed and nothing over powering. The names and can art at Burial are just as interesting as the beer. They're starting to expand into wine too. I've taken the tour here. They're some very interesting people running this brewery. Zebulon Artisan Ales is an interesting one. They're a few miles north of Asheville. They're a smaller operation that makes a lot of very old and unusual recipes. Their menu is always changing. Green Man is a good one. I always think of them as making great IPAs, but every time I have a more limited release stout or porter from them, it's well done too. Green Man is one of the older breweries in town. Wicked Weed has a tap room in town called The Funkatorium that showcases their sours. They make a lot of them. They have a great lunch menu here too. I don't know how interested you are in cider, but this is a great area for it. Henderson County, just south of Asheville, is home to some really great fruit orchards. Places like Urban Orchard Cider Co and Bold Rock do a lot of great work with those local apples.
I’m from the Cincinnati area…great episode! And yes, Asheville would be worth the trip in highlighting…many years ago I found my calling with beer at “brewgrass” 2006 in Asheville…my sister had moved there and this town was something special that seemed to not exist anywhere else at that time…if I may, I would like to add Wedge Brewery to the list in Asheville though…beer is good of course and that atmosphere is pretty cool…cheers!
I really appreciated the Brooklyn show and toured some of the Breweries recently which were excellent. Some of them I knew but your excellent broadcast reminded me of others. I liked the Baltimore episode too and have toured some of them in the past but hope to get back to others you featured sometime soon. A suggestion where to tour? Denver or of course the classic Milwaukee
One of our favorite beer cities is Portland, Maine. Probably best to go in the summer but the independent restaurant and brewery scene + the nature make for an incredible trip!
Great episode! Those old lagering caves are so cool. If you all ever need an intro to Louisville beer, give us a shout! We'd love to show you around Derby City. Cheers!
@@untappd4695 St. Louis - Side Project, Urban Chestnut, and on the Illinois side Stubborn German Brewing Austin - Jester King, Austin Beer Garden, and Live Oak
