I will be the first to admit that I know very, very little about the world of wine. I’m a beer guy that loves to drink booze and cocktails. With all of that out in the open, I also fully recognize that as a drinker, I need to expand my horizon

An Exploration Of Absinthe

Aug 17th, 2022 17m 50s

It’s been far, far too long since I got an episode of Drinking With The Gnome out there. This show seems to be the thing that gets pushed aside when things get a little busy, and that’s not fair to a show that I have big, big plans for. With th

Cartridge Brewing... And A Killer Cocktail Program!

Aug 11th, 2021 41m 4s

It’s a different world, this “craft beer” thing that we’re currently in. Gone are the days that you can just throw together a brewery, put a picnic table or two in your warehouse and operate a successful business. You have to do more, and you h

Crown Republic Gastropub

Feb 26th, 2020 30m 10s

I had never been to Crown Republic before this episode – and was lured in by some friends from the beer industry… and I am glad that I was. This place is fantastic on a few different levels – on the drinking side, the bar is great, it’s down to

Sugarlands Distillery, And The Culture Of Gatlinburg Booze

Jan 31st, 2020 23m 34s

I was on vacation with the family down in Gatlinburg, but that wasn’t going to stop me from doing a little “Gnome-Work” while we were away. I stopped into Sugarlands Distilling to chat with Reede Copeland about the unique culture of Gatlinburg,

What's Emerging From Karrikin

Nov 6th, 2019

Wrapping up a three part series from Karrikin we take a dive into what’s coming down the pipeline for this distillery. To help guide us through the conversation we pour a little bit of their ‘Emerge’ gin and take a quick tour through how they m

Shifuuuu! Karrikin’s American Made Baiju

Sep 6th, 2019 21m 29s

It’s not common to see a Baiju on shelves here in America. It’s especially not common to see an American distillery making a version of this spirit – let alone in a city like Cincinnati. This is beyond fascinating, but a huge part of what makes

Karrikin And Their Sparkling Spirits

Aug 30th, 2019

There are going to be a few different shows about Farifax’s Karrikin Spirits in the very near future. The last time I sat down with Eric Baumann and Jeff Hunt for a show, we ended up recording for a lot longer than anticipated, which means (goo

Hoppin’ Vines

Aug 23rd, 2019

Kenwood needed this. It’s not a bar, it’s not another chain restaurant… it isn’t only about beer – it’s something new and refreshing. Hoppin’ Vines is a combination of a lot of different things than when combined create a space that will please

The Drinkery, Jack Daniels and Michael D Morgan

May 1st, 2019 30m 41s

When you find yourself in OTR with Michael D Morgan and a drink in hand, you don’t just wrap up your conversation quickly and go home… Since we had him on the show last week for Cincy Brewcast where he was promoting his new book, called Cincinn

Cider? Hard Cider? Fermented Apple Juice? Gimmie The Lowdown!

Apr 24th, 2019 29m 54s

I have been really curious about cider for a while now, and until recently have kept putting off taking the deep dive into the world of fermented apple juice. Even now, I’ll be the first to admit I know very little to none about cider… but I’m

The Bourbon Sidecar

Apr 15th, 2019 18m 43s

I was joined this week… or a couple weeks ago depending on how you look at it by my good friend from Hunting Agnes, Bryan Booth to talk Bourbon, and to talk the Prohibition Bourbon Bar (you can listen to that episode if you haven’t already) and

Asheville, HiWire and A Community

Apr 15th, 2019 18m 34s

Asheville, North Carolina isn’t about beer alone – it’s about a community that provides a platform for one of the widest and most fun drinking cultures that I have ever experienced. With that being said… the best way to take a peek behind the c

The Prohibition Bourbon Bar

Apr 2nd, 2019 30m 11s

I’m not ready for this – the dive into Bourbon. It’s not that I don’t know about Bourbon, I freaking love the stuff. I also know plenty about it to talk about it. The massive topic of ‘America’s Spirit’ is just that, massive. So this is most de

The Manhattan

Mar 25th, 2019 20m 46s

You can find your way into most Cincinnati bars and find yourself a great Manhattan. We live in a good era to be a drinker, after all. However, when it comes to this cocktail… there’s a lot to appreciate and understand if you want to take thing

Paddy’s Day In Cincinnati

Mar 18th, 2019 7m 35s

It’s Paddy’s Day in Cincinnati – and I made the rounds. I ventured out to some of the hottest spots in Cincy to figure out what makes St Patricks day more than you might think it is on the surface. Sure… there is a lot of Guinness and Green bee
