 3 Guys, Ei8ht Ball... Live1 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:48:43

Join us as the Cincy Brewcast crew invades Ei8ht Ball Brewing, at The Party Source in Newport/Bellevue, Kentucky. We are joined by “3 Guys”; Head Brewer Mitch Dougherty, The Party Source Craft Beer Manager and mastermind behind nomad brewery “Quaff Bros.” Danny Gold, and Ei8ht Ball Taproom Manager and “Beer Ambassador” James “Peanut” Kahles. The guys tell us about Ei8ht Ball “from the beginning”–the impetus behind having a craft brewery as part of one of the largest adult beverage retailers in the nation, how the taplist developed and where it’s going in the future and (maybe too much) about their unique branding (the story of which is worth listening to in and of itself)! We also taste though a wide representation of the 11-beer strong taplist, including classic offerings “Tarnished” Golden Ale, “Red Drink” Red IPA and “Prodigal” APA, and newer favorites like assistant brewer Vergil Ustick’s “Yoga Pants” Black IPA, the delicious “Doppio” Coffee Porter, and Barrel Aged “Foursome” a big 16% ABV flavor-bomb Dark Fruit Quad brewed in collaboration with Nogne O. Brewing of Denmark. Another terrific show with more great Cincinnati brewers on Cincy Brewcast, “The Voice of Cincy Craft”! Guests This Episode * Danny Gold – Party Source* Mitch Dougherty – Ei8ht Ball* James ‘Peanut’ Kahles – Ei8ht Ball From The Beer Fridge * Ei8ht Ball – Tarnished* Ei8ht Ball – Prodigal* Ei8ht Ball – Red Drink* Ei8ht Ball – Doppio* Ei8ht Ball – Yoga Pants* Ei8ht Ball/Nogne – Foursome

 The Godfather of Cincy Craft Beer - Mike Dewey from Mt. Carmel | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:33:42

We are joined this week by “The Godfather” of Cincy Craft, Mike Dewey from Mt. Carmel Brewing Co. Over the past 10-plus years, Mike and co-founder and wife Kathleen have done it “their way”.Mt. Carmel has stubbornly stuck to a strategy of slow growth when all around them has exploded, and they continue to offer a tap list of “core beers” when so many brewers often don’t brew the same beer twice. Mike sits down and explains to us why this is, but also reminds us that MCBC is NOT stuck in the mud by bringing us two amazing offerings–“Sap Attack” Maple Infused Brown with maple syrup harvested from Cincinnati Nature Center and “Jack’d Frost”–the second installment in their new “Limited Release” series–it’s Mt. Carmel’s “Tastings.com” Silver award winning stout aged six months in a Jack Daniels barrel. Mike also joins us in tasting “Space Taxi Barrel #21” bourbon barrel-aged Belgian Dark with Sangiovese, one of the latest offerings from Donny Gold’s Quaff Bros. Brewing.Mike discusses recent expansions in both the brew-house and taproom, plans for an expanded outdoor experience (including more paved parking!) on the MCBC property, Presidential politics, Cincy craft beer history and so much more on this very special Cincy Brewcast, “The Voice of Cincy Craft”! Guests This Week * Mike Dewey – Mt Carmel Brewing From The Beer Fridge * Mt Carmel – Sap Attack* Mt Carmel – Jack’d Frost

 They Might Be Nine Giant - With Brandon Hughes and Mike Albarella | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:37:40

In this edition of Cincy Brewcast we meet Mike Albarella and Brandon Hughes, the brother-in-law team behind emerging brewery Nine Giant, in Pleasant Ridge, Ohio. We talk to them about their brewing philosophies, the unique qualities about their “P-Ridge” brewpub and what brought them to this point.

It’s a very exciting program from a brewery that we feel will become a “Giant” in the Cincy Craft scene.

 Live At The Moerlein Lager House With Greg Hardman, Eric Baumann And GCCBS | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:39:40

From the beautiful Moerlein Lager House in Smale Riverfront Park in Downtown Cincinnati, it’s a very special Live edition of Cincy Brewcast. We are joined by the visionary Greg Hardman, who took a glorious, but dead name from Cincinnati’s brewing heyday–Christian Moerlein–and turned it into a powerhouse of the modern craft beer movement in Cincinnati’s exploding Craft Beer scene. We are also joined by the man charged with maintaining and expanding both the quality and repertoire of Christian Moerlein Brewing Company, Head Brewer Eric Baumann. We taste four of Moerlein’s excellent seasonal brews–People’s Pilsener, Crimea River Russian Imperial Stout, Plum Berliner Weisse and Shiver Chai Porter. Then we find out how the Lager House was the first element of the world-class Smale Riverfront Park, and Greg’s story on how the plans for the Lager House came together in a weekend! Greg and Eric also break news on several new beers on the horizon for Moerlein, including the re-launch of the original recipe Christian Moerlein “Cincinnati Select Lager”–originally introduced by Hudepohl Brewing in 1981– in celebration of this year’s 500th anniversary of the German “Rhineheitsgebot” German beer purity law. Then, we are joined by Eddie Chimi and Chris Nascimento from the Greater Cincinnati Craft Beer Society for a discussion/debate on a wide-ranging selection of craft beer issues such as “National vs. Local” craft beer, Can “Big Beer” become “Craft Brewers” too, and should we even support craft brewers owned by major international beer corporations? There’s lots of food for thought and great discussion on this week’s special “Live” edition of Cincy Brewcast–“The Voice of Cincy Craft”. Guests This Episode * Greg Hardman – Christian Moerlein* Eric Baumann – Christian Moerlein* Eddie Chimi – GCCBS* Chris Nascimento – GCCBS From The Beer Fridge * Christian Moerlein – People’s Pilsner* Christian Moerlein – Crimea River* Christian Moerlein – Little Jack Plum* Christian Moerlein – Shiver (read more about this beer)

 MadTree 2.0 With Jeff Hunt and Kenny McNutt | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:21:48

It’s a big announcement, and one that warrants a special edition of the show – MadTree is not just moving, they’re expanding exponentially.  The brewery is making a move from their lowly, small warehouse into the massive 18+ Million Dollar MadTree 2.0 facility in the former Rock-Tenn industrial site  in Oakley. This wide ranging interview includes discussion of the plans for the expansion, including the 100bbl brew system, 10,000 sq. ft. outdoor beer garden and “more restrooms than you would ever need”!

 The Craft Beer Resolution | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:15:14

As we return to the “friendly confines” of the Cincy Brewcast Studios, high atop Mt. Carmel for our first show of 2016, we look ahead to the possibilities and the promise of a new year in craft beer. We taste what is very likely 2016’s first new beer release in Urban Artifact’s “Abacus” Cocao-Raspberry Gose; one of the top releases of late 2015 in Mt. Carmel’s “Ice Cream Stout” (tasting just like Neapolitan Ice Cream!) and Anchorage Brewing Co.’s (AK) Galaxy White IPA with Brett.

Despite his better judgement, Gamal Nagi from Rivertown Brewing joins us again in a whirlwind, madcap hour where Cincy Brewcast asks two age-old questions: "What's the best tasting 'Lite' beer?", and "Is a Hot Dog a sandwich?". We come to a conclusion, if not a consensus on the first, and make no ground or convincing arguments on the second. The only thing we found out was that The Gnarly Gnome really is passionate about hot dogs! All on the next edgy, controversial edition of Cincy Brewcast.
