Sitting at Paradise Brewing in Cincinnati right now, enjoying a pecan pie kolsch. 

The best new beer I've had recently was Pennsylvania Tuxedo from Dogfish Head. Tastes like a Christmas tree, but in a delicious way.

Thanks for the reminder. I had PA Tuxedo last year and ended up buying it several times. I really enjoy that one.

Now that sounds interesting. Next time I'm in the nati, I'll see if I can hunt that down (assuming it's not a one off).

 

Had a french toast DIPA today was pretty damn good. Had a toasted Marshmellow DIPA from same brewery that I'm saving to crack with some family in Jan.

No, but I was there for last yr's thanksgiving. I'm from Cleveland (obvi) but have some family and family friends in Cincy. Hit up Madtree, route 50, Rheingesit last time I was there. Really solid scene.

Next time you're in town check out Streetside and Urban Artifact (if you like sours). They are smaller that the 3 you mentioned, but both are fantastic. Urban Artifact is my favorite brewery in the city.

I got a bottle of CBS on Friday hoping to get more this week as a bunch of places near me aren't getting theirs in until Tuesday-Friday at some point. A friend of mine just moved to SC and he picked up some BCBS and a few variants for me. Had a 2013-2017 vertical the other weekend. The 2014 was amazing.

It's worth picking up a bottle or pint if you run across it again.

I took the day off and am out running errands. Stopped by a new brewery in Cincinnati called Fretboard. Pretty cool place with good beer. I'm drinking their IPA now, 7.1%, 69 IBUs. I would drink again.

Rotating between GL Christmas Ale, Mad Elf, and there's a brewery in Dayton called Warped Wing which I especially like their Abominator (doppelbock) and Esther's Lil Secret which is a chocolate/vanilla winter ale.

Anyone have the Platform Christmas Ale? It's Belgian-style, I like it quite a bit.

Esther?  I was dispointed, expected much more from both Brewery and style

Yeah. I like it because it's not your typical Christmas ale, I suppose.

Dank House is  good. Their blonde ale is very good. They might become the best brewery in Licking County. Right now I would put Buckeye Lake Brewery above them. I would rate Dqnk House above Homestead and Three Tigers.

Whoops, I said superman, but I meant cat_lover. He's local to my current location, you're local to my hometown. Sorry about that.

I'll have to check them out when I'm back home next week.
