Truth, Beer, and Podsequences

Mike Stokes of Cincy Brew Bus talks about Cincy and beer. Cincy Brew Dads get bonus points for hating the Steelers. Friend zoning beers. Being Ultra Mid. Terrible whiskeys. Label approvals made a comeback. More vertical perspectives. Jim Koch overseeing truck staging. Everything is "state by state" when it comes to shipping alcohol. There are no arsonists at By Golly's. The By Golly Trolley coming soon.

Just because it was Kolsch night didn't mean we stayed on track.  Mostly.  Before making our way to Northern Row, we talked about a whole bevy of things, like Cincy Brew Dads explaining the proper way to swish your beer, Bret and Mike's upcoming Jon Bon Jovi Bar, home distilling, the need to get out of the country after your brewery closes, Tony's impact on the number of Cincy Brewcast episodes, the worst glazed donut ever, pak-tek...

Julia complains about Hopslam. 4-year pod-iversary plans. Debating the most American spirit. Cancer warnings on everything. Respect your robots. Who brought bears to Cincinnati. Gnome putting terrible things in his mouth. Tony Hawk Kickflip flavored vodka. Is the craft of craft beer coming back or is it all a gimmick?  Does Braxton finally have a Cincinnati spot that's going to work? Territorial beer drinkers. Jesse Spano.

A song ...

I'm going to be honest with you all.  This episode was mostly tomfoolery and little re-cappery.  It's what happens when we go Gnome-less for awhile, we have to catch up on the tangents and rabbit holes. Also Julia was dealing with some sinus issues so there may be some terrible edits where she tried to cut out the coughs. Somewhere in the midst of all that we mentioned at the very least the titles of the previous week's content tha...

Does a G&T-Off sound inappropriate? Or does it sound like a golf reference? Is there a best gin and tonic that doesn't involve qualifiers? Do you need a Grand Opening when your soft opening lasts a month? Would your family survive a family vacation?  Can you explain why beer is expensive without using percentages? Are pelletized hops cheaper than fresh hops? Do we have the next Cincinnati Beer Baron in our midst?  Is Gen Z actu...

Kolsch night once again means a shorter show, but we still made sure to put together a good one for you.  Some of the things we babbled about include appreciating taking breaks for sips, going to Warren Buffett's Margaritaville, Elijah's air conditioning service, how Erik Estrada might support weed water, the Barstool Perspective School of Drinking at Bars, and Gnome drinking terrible things from the Bucket of Misery while not gett...

Gnome has forgiven us (kinda) so he was BACK on the show this week, which was good because we had a lot to talk about! Things such as Panthers, Pineapples, is there anyone that could anyone bring the Woodburn brand back what it once was, Rhinegeist is only a t-shirt company, making West Coast Lagers a thing, alternative roller derbys, and who's slogan sucks the most.

Patreon members can hear how Gnome saved the TBP day once, and n...

Most times we record at HG. This week we recorded at a DIFFERENT HG. HighGrain's Silverton taproom gave us a fresh perspective and a location for our Q2 video, so be sure to look for that on YouTube! This episode has us contemplating things such as Mike's hair switching places, shining examples of good businesses and people, beer pardons, how many ounces make a good beer sample, an actual schnapp (schnapps?) for the schnappening, G...

It's our bicentennial episode! We discuss all manner of things, such as what our favorite drug-addled Olympic sport is going to be, Mike's days as a professional Beatboxer, camping not-cocktails-because-it's-only-two-ingredients, and getting Gnome-splained at about what a pizza is and isn't....at least up until the point in the show where we pissed him off and he walked out.  

Enjoy another chaotic episode full of mayhem and inappr...

Another month, another shorter Kolsch night show. This week, Barstool Perspectives had the absolute BEST rant of their entire existence, and Gnome drank neon colored things. We also talked about our AWESOME time with some Northerners, bottles Hans Gruber-ing, Tilray stock is still cheap, and did we hit the over or under for saying the word "Kolsch" in this episode? 

To get a few extra minutes of the show, head over to our Patreon, ...

Really loud early 2000s background music. Crunchin' Dick's and talking sh*t about dungeon masters. Giving Schwarzbier a season. Do stock footage clips count towards the sip count?  Snakes and witches curing hangovers. Gerome the Gnome. New, not refreshed.    Malort shots in honor of Pope Bob and Brother Gnome. 

New YouTube shows. Does Adam Make Beer? Rhinegeist entering the N/A space and saturating the lime lager market. A Couple o...

Complaining about Barstool Perspectives, the last things we drunk ordered, planes are worth 72 beers, Cincinnati breweries bringing home more medals, and Gnome drank a bunch of terrible canned margaritas.  

----- This episode covers the following shows : Barstool Perspective - 5/2/2025 The Weekly Pint - Ep 260 - It's Cinco De Mayo, and I'm Knee Deep In Awards

----- What we drank :  MadTree Brewing - Rounding Third - IPA Fat Head's ...

Once again this week's episode has very little Cincinnati beer content recappery, and a whole mess of tomfoolery. We sang, we may have danced, and we may have talked about all manner of things up to and including GG, dungeon masters, our dive bar snack top 5, reasons why Gen Z isn't drinking as much beer, possible new retirement plans that don't involve Tilray, and the bucket of mystery miseries.      

The Gnarly Gnome Substack : h...

What makes an astronaut? Are Segal movies good? Pocket Jesus. Papal things. And then some actual Cincinnati beer content to spice up the show. Saucy Cincinnati. Blake asks Adam how to open a good brewery. Mike and Bret were both in frame as they continue to promote Tilray. Should the term "brewmaster" go away?  Depot Brewing is going to take down MadTree while building up the Morrow community. The backdoor to Dick's. Make growlers ...

Who is comparable to Evel Knievel and why should you never give him a tape measure? Are they breweries or hospitality centers?  Michael D Morgan could be your father. TikTok is dumb. Schrödinger's Studies. Vanilla is the best flavor. Total Eclipse of Hamilton. Hamilton History. More open drinks than ever before. Tilray...buy while it's low if you enjoy risk and loss. We'll try anything once...but does that include Walmart beer? 

I...

Marco went AWOL, so Julia and Gnome had to take responsibility for the entire show. We talked about attending the second OCBA Women in Beer Fest, Pomona's Abundance and discussed how amazing it was and how incorrectly we were pronouncing it, if wood nymphs have antlers, order whatever drink you want to drink, whether or not Gnomes actually float, flooded bars and breweries, tipping culture, Mike flew solo again, we refused to talk ...
