  Jungle Jims Pint Nite tonight features Rogue...I think I'll pass.

  I'm picking up a Sweet Water tackle box this weekend.

  Justin not sure if you heard but Rivertown is now under a single ownership. Jason bought out Randy. The will dive heavily into Sours. Also the Hop Bomber recipe is changing. The new Hop Bomber will be what Hulk Smash was. Great move as I loved Hulk Smash. They are also losing a brewer, who developed Hulk Smash, to Taft's Ale House...with the Ex Brew master at Triple Digit. Also joining Taft's is a brewer from Mt. Carmel. Rivertown also got a new bottler today. You can see it on their Facebook page.

  Also Hamilton Ohio is getting a new brewery. Municipal Brew Works It will be in the old Municipal Building come Spring 2015. I know one of the owners and he was telling me months ago that it was in the works, when they were proposing the idea to City Council.

  So is Dayton. A few of the Local Beer Bloggers made a trip up there last weekend with a Beer Bus Tour group. I believe there are 3 more start ups happening there too.
  
  Braxton Brewing went over $60,000 on Kickstarter. Their goal was $30,000 and they reached it in 30 hours. They will be in Covington Ky.

  It's a great place to live if you're a beer snob, for sure.

  • Southern Tier Pumpking
    
  • Heavy Seas Great'ER Pumpkin
  • The Bruery Autumn Maple

  Yeah, got the Shipyard, best for the price compared to the other. Was a little pricey, about $30 for my 2L.
  Drinking it now, and not bad. Like it.
  
  Place I went to has a Growler Club, $25 a year and half price fills on Sunday.
