New Glarus Brewing Companyâs Moon Man No Coast Pale Ale - New Glarus, Wisconsin
When a man who knows his IPAs (my father-in-law, Joe, AKA the IPA whisperer) is willing to haul a beer 478 miles for you to try it, chances are that itâll knock yer socks off. However, when I saw it was a session beer called âMoon Manâ, I had doubts: 1. As a child of the mid 80s, my memories of the Moon Man consist of terrifying McDonaldâs commercials (YouTube it, i dare you) culminating in a McDonaldâs dine-in showdown with a cardboard Moon Man on the receiving end of a ninja turtle high kick. 2. I generally donât get the whole session thingâŚwhy buy a beer that usually has less flavor, bite and alcohol? That said, now I totally get it. This beer is bright, but not smack-you-upside-the-head hoppy. There is subtle complexity and even some light, bready malt on the finish. Alright Moon Man, you win this round⌠P.S. Thanks again, Joe!
Cheers.

Madtreeâs Identity Crisis - Cincinnati, Ohio
Bait and switch - Some beers out there have adopted this tactic by offering a âstoutâ with more hops than the average IPA or an âIPAâ with malt out the wazoo. If I am in the mood for a stout, I buy a stout and I want it to be a stout. Not some IPA-stout love child/science experiment.
Identity Crisis bucks the trend by telling you what to expect up front. Like a warning label that says âHey, just so you know, things are going to get weirdâ. Stout black in color, IPA hops on the front end and Porter roasted nuttiness on the finish. Thanks for the heads up Madtree.
Cheers.

Hoppinâ Frogâs Barrel Aged Turbo Shandy - Akron, Ohio
March tends to be a tale of two seasons in Ohio. 70 degree days segmented by the occasional snow squall or late freeze. That being the case, Iâm going give the olâ taste buds some whiplash. Enter the barrel aged Turbo Shandy. Like a lemonade margarita, itâs lemon, itâs tequila, itâs a bright glass of lively flavor after a long, cold winter. Itâs like a Bud Light Lemon-ade-rita⌠except itâs good and doesnât make you want to vomit.
Cheers.

The Dayton Beer Companyâs The Java Man Cometh - Dayton, Oh
What is a good beer to go with a cold day and a late-night bathroom remodel? How âbout a coffee stout?
The malty chocolate bite and thick, oatmeal stout-like weight of this beer are perfect for the stick to the bones feeling youâd want on a cold day. Unfortunately, Iâll be looking elsewhere for the coffee flavors Iâd hoped for. The little-if-any coffee flavors lead me to believe that while the Java Man may cometh, he definitely hath not yet arriveth.
Cheers.

The Brew Kettleâs Vanilla Frambozen and Kitka - Strongsville, Oh
Itâs complicated. Thatâs what you get when you mix coconut, chocolate, vanilla and raspberry. The suggestion for this concoction came from the manager of the nearby Discount Drug Mart - my local source for growler filling. While he had Brew Kettle over for a tasting, they mixed the two on a whim and created something unique.
Usually âcomplicatedâ isnât a compliment. In this case, complicated means sweet, bready and smooth without being thick or overly heavy. If you prefer to drink your raspberry German chocolate cake, look no further.
Cheers.

Elevator Brewing Companyâs Horny Goat Bourbon Barrel Aged Porter - Columbus, Oh
These days, it isnât uncommon for a brewery to have a bourbon barrel aged beer of some kind. However, itâs much less common for said beer to be done well. Smooth vanilla bean, roasted caramel malt and a lingering bourbon bite take turns on your pallet in a long, slow drag of flavors. Like a cigar, minus the cancer.
Cheers.

Land Grantâs Beard Crumbs Oatmeal Raison Stout - Columbus, Oh
Ahhh, oatmeal - the ramen noodles of breakfast. Simple, grainy, filling. But, all the qualities that make you a lame breakfast also make you a wonderful beer. Bready, roasty, thick and hearty. In this case, Land Grant adds a little raisin to round out the flavor with some earthy, fruity background noise. Thatâll do, oatmeal, thatâll do.
Cheers.

Wolfâs Ridge Brewingâs Dire Wolf Russian Imperial Stout - Columbus, Oh
With so many IPAs available year round now, it has been tougher than normal to find new Ohio brewed stouts on the shelves. My hunt for a decent stout led me to my first Wolfâs Ridge beer, and it didnât disappoint.
Dire Wolf is like drinking a glass of engine oil from Willy Wonkaâs car - jet black with a bitter dark chocolate nose and creamy milk chocolate finish.
Cheers.

Rivertownâs Divergent Sour Ale - Lockland, Oh
Sours are an acquired taste and I admit that I am not as familiar with this type of beer as I am with most others.
That being the case, this has to be the most face-puckering beer Iâve ever had. Imagine sucking on a lemon covered in Warheads. All citrus sour and nothing else. If there is another flavor there, youâll need a search party to find it. I honestly believe there is a time for every beer - a Corona on the beach or a Budweiser at a NASCAR race. The time for this beer is when you feel you need to be punished. If you are a glutton for punishment, you are in luck - itâs sold in a six pack.
Cheers.

Thirsty Dogâs Siberian Night Imperial Stout- Akron, Ohio
Ok, so it is 57 degrees on January 31st and we are having a fire in the backyard. Itâs still stout season damn it, and Iâm going to drink a stout. That being the case, Iâm going to make it a good one. Siberian Night has a roasted, nutty, coffee flavor. It is smooth enough to mask the 9.7% ABV, but bold enough to let you know it means business.
Cheers.

Cellar Dwellerâs Jeremiah Morrow IPA - Morrow, Oh
Ohio wineries have started to diversify. So much so that they are getting into the beer game. Debonne Vineyards spawned Cellar Rats Brewery, now Valley Vineyards has Cellar Dweller. But can a winery make a decent beer?
Not only can they make a beer, they have managed to carve out a niche in an already overloaded IPA market. While this is as hoppy as any run-of-the-mill IPA, it carries an unexpected sweet banana flavor throughout. It begs the question; is that a banana in your IPA or are you just hoppy to see me?
Cheers.

Homestead Beer Companyâs 3MCâs Double IPA - Heath, Oh
There are a lot of imperial or double IPAs out there that are nothing more than a sledge hammer - all hops, no finesse.
With a smooth finish and a 9.5% ABV, this IPA is more like 007, or the Hulk with a fresh shave - smooth and strong.
Cheers.
