The Weekly Pint

There's been some more talk about the health code violations from our local taprooms - and I think it calls for a discussion - AGAIN about this topic. Also... I'm drinking some beer from Taiwan, and that'll be interesting.Just as a reminder, this show is brought to you by folks just like you - if you want to become a 'Gnomie' you can go to https://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support to do it!

Sometimes, I'm asked not to talk about things, sometimes, I'm asked to take things down... It's a fine line between talking about things that NEED talked about, and remembering why I run a website and social channels in the first place.I think it's a good topic, so let's dive into a few drinks and talk about how it all works for me!This is a long one!If you want to support this podcast, or any of the stuff that I create, you can head over to http://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support

It's cold, it's snowy... and It's official - I'm DONE with winter. Let's crack open a drink and talk about it.

There is a LOT of snow on the ground, and when you factor in the fact that I missed out on recording an episode of the show last week, AND the fact that I'm stuck in the house - well... we should make a show.Does snow make a good cocktail ingredient? While using the word 'Cocktail' might be a little loose terminology... we're going to figure it out one way or another!Crack one open and enjoy this week's special episode!If you like this show, or any of the stuff that I do, you can always support by going to https://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support to become a Gnomie!

Let the mixed messages to consumers continue. It feels like we're in the middle of a battle between drinkers and non-drinkers, and most "normal folks" aren't even paying attention. It feels like the government can't decide if they want us to think drinking is good, or bad, evil, or not... let's crack open a drink and talk about it!If you like this show, or any of the content that I create, you can support by becoming a Gnomie at https://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/Support

A lot of folks want to talk about how the beverage industry (and especially craft beer) are "failing". I think the situation is a little more complicated than most people are discussing... and need to rant about it for a little bit.Of course, we should drink a beer or two while we do that!Huge shout-out to Frau Gruber's Pils and Fat Head's Alpha Ambush for fueling a wonderful episode.If you like this show or any of the stuff that I create, you can always support by going to https://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support to become a Gnomie.

We're approaching the turn of the new year, a time when so many people make resolutions, new goals, try to change things about themselves - I've always turned my back on that idea... but maybe not, this year? Let's crack one open and talk about it!Thank you for supporting the content that I make... without folks like you, none of this would exist!

An awesome raccoon that knows how to get his own snacks, his own booze... AND he knows Karate? That sounds like a good start to this week's episode!Fueled by Habesha Cold Gold, Malort, HighGrain's JJs Fruit Stand, and some kind of boozy boba balls... There are a lot of rabbit holes that we have to resist diving down!If you like this show, or any of the awesome drinking content that I make, please think about heading over to https://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support to become a Gnomie and help things keep growing!

When it gets cold outside, I just sort of want to dive deep into my beer cellar... so that's exactly what we'll do tonight. We'll drink some schnapps, drink our beervent beer... and then dive into a big old Imperial Stout - because why not?The whole time, we'll talk about local news like Santacon, and a sale that a lot of folks really think is a little more than just a good deal.

This one is late - and I know it's going to be late. Hung up with working obligations, that's just how it's gotta be this week... and I don't really like it. On the PLUS side, today kicks off Beervent, so I'll hurry to get my first beer in before midnight, and then we'll talk about how I'll make it up to you throughout December!

This week is my favorite holiday - Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday to celebrate, and it's also the beginning of another one of my favorite seasons to drink in. What better way to celebrate than with a show that most certainly ISN'T a show?On this week's episode, we drink some Voltage Peppermint Schnapps, A beer that is VERY seasonal (Decorative Gourd from Seventh Son), and then dive into the beer cellar to try a 2019 Straight Jacket from Revolution.This is all to fuel a conversation about upcoming events (you ARE coming to my live show at Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt and the Holiday Craft Beer Extravaganza, right?) Black Friday releases that you need to know about, and the upcoming closure of Cincinnati's only dedicated cidery, Northwood Cider.This episode is sponsored by Cincinnati Christkindlmarket, so I have to give a massive shoutout to them for making it possible, it also wouldn't exist without folks like you who support via Patreon.

The government is moving again, so I'm back to collecting label approvals... that's the good news. The bad news? They're also trying to federally ban weed water. It's definitely time to be loud about your opinions, which is exactly what this show is for!We drink some Casamigos margaritas, we talk about Rogue... it's an action-packed and LONG episode of the show that isn't a show (which might have also been plagued by technical difficulties... awesome)If you like this show, or any of the stuff that I do, you can always support by becoming a 'Gnomie' - just head to https://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/suppport today!I also have to give a huge shoutout to this week's episode sponsor, Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt and their Holiday Craft Beer Extravaganza... where I'll also be hosting a live episode of Drinking With The Gnome on Black Friday this year!

The weather is very - seasonal today - and while I swear that I'm NOT Ready... I am getting there. Let's drink some big beers, play with some fire and get even MORE ready!If you like this show, or any of the stuff that I create, you can always go to https://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support Huge thanks to Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt as well as the Holiday Craft Beer Extravaganza for supporting this episode - don't forget to come hang out with me on Black Friday this year for a live recording of 'Drinking With The Gnome'!

I keep reading articles telling me that craft beer is dead, the some kind of boom or bubble is bursting and that we're all doomed. Is that true? Also... why am I drinking Voltage Peppermint schnapps before the holiday season? What can is under the wrap? There's a lot to unpack on this week's episode!

The title might have NOTHING to do with what we ended up talking about, but that doesn't mean that we don't have a lot to talk about on this week's episode. Quite the opposite, actually. I start things off (after the regular technical difficulties) with 'The Schnappening' that was a little sweet... not peaches... but candy-like and delicious. From there we talked about everything from what's happening at Bad Tom Smith in Madisonville to the current status of 'Intoxicating Hemp' here in Ohio. The upcoming Halloween celebration wraps things up for another action packed week!Here's what I drank this week: Kruskovac Pear Liqueur, Streetside Strawberry Jelly Donut Demogorgon.I can't thank you enough for your support of The Weekly Pint.

I realized earlier in the day that I hadn't had a cocktail on the show (that isn't a show) for a very long time... so I figured I'd remedy that on this week's episode. I ALSO realized that in addition to not having one, I'm also a lousy bartender. These two facts combined together result in the episode's live audience creating a cocktail for me - and it ends up... interesting.To keep things a little tastier, I ended up by cracking into a can of Urban Artifact's 'Fall Bear' brown ale... a NOT sour beer from the brewery that way too many people think aren't able to make a not sour beer.It was a great episode!If you like this show, or if you like any of the stuff that I make - know that you can always support by going to http://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support

It's a great weekend to open a couple beers and hang out! Cincinnati brings home a whole bucketload of gold medals in a GABF that saw Ohio set new records with it's wins. On top of that... hemp-derived THC is banned? What is going on?!It's a recipe for a good episode of the show that's not a show.If you like this, or any of the stuff that I create, you can always go to http://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support to help keep thing rolling!

Maybe it's a little bit of clickbait... but Oktoberfest season is officially ending for me this week (I mean... I have quite a bit of Oktoberfest beers in my fridge to drink) and I'm gearing up for the next season to come rolling in!We crack open a couple of beers (MadTree Light Lime, and a Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald) and talk about all the stuff that's coming up on the schedule!

Sometimes, you just need to drink something a little, well... strange. It's a part of a bigger picture of what's happening in the beverage alcohol space.Let's drink, let's talk... let's figure this out.If you like this show and you'd like to support it, know that you can go to http://www.TheGnarlyGnome.com/support

Coming off an incredible Oktoberfest weekend... we've definitely got a few things to talk about! We kick it off by drinking a little pour of something from a (fake?) doctor, which ended up not being as bad as I thought it would be, moving right into a couple beers that ended up being just as delicious as I expected.We talk about Michelob Ultra's new role as the best-selling beer in the United States, dethroning Modelo from its former perch.We recap Oktoberfest Zinzinnati... which reminded me that the move down to the river has solidified this as one of the city's best Oktoberfests.March First has moved into self-distribution, and we have to talk about that, too... right before exploring a new product from Charlie Sheen? This is definitely wild.Just as a reminder, this episode is brought to you by folks just like you.
