I enjoy Dixie Brewing Company's Blackened Voodoo Ale. They also have a red. Hurricane Katrina wiped out their brewery, so they've subcontracted their brewing to somewhere in Wisconsin. It was tough to find before, now its super-dooper tough to find.

I like my Marzen (Gorden Biersch available all year), Kolsh and Bock and Dupplebock. But i also like Porters.Leinenkugel's introduced their Kölsch-style beer Canoe Paddler at the 2013 Beerfest, and it's trickling into area stores now despite its Summer seasonality. I found this highly drinkable, with a touch of rye and a blend of three mild hops. Look for this one in the warmer months.
Right now their Snowdrift Vanilla Porter, full of malt, chocolate and vanilla hits the spot on a cold Winter's night.
Their Lemon Berry Shandy is a bit much for my tastes too, but I enjoy making lemon shandys with fresh lemonade and their Sunset Wheat. They taste so much better than their bottled Lemon Shandys.
And with bock beer season just around the corner, I'm looking forward to their 1888 Bock. Leinenkugel's is quickly becoming one of my favorite out of town breweries.Posted 3 months ago # -

I just bought a sixer of Fat Head's Bumble Berry today, mainly because I needed a beer to bring to a football party that would appeal to some people who aren't huge into craft beer.I sampled one and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't devour one on a blazing hot day. Doesn't have that horrible artificial berry flavor like others (Leinenkugel, Wild Blue, etc). I wouldn't specifically seek it out, but it was pretty tasty and refreshing.
The case of fatheads head hunter I brought back from Cleveland last month kind of, er, evaporated. I'm pretty impressed with their product.

got a six pack of this on Saturday. Pretty good, but I'm not that well versed in Rye beers. Kinda weird.
I also had a growler (from Daily Growler) of six point Resin. It's not as "bitey" on draft, but still a favorite.

I'm a big rye IPA fan. I loved Ruthless Rye, but my favorite is Founder's Red's Rye.

I tried that Leinenkugel's porter this winter and haaaaaaaaaaaaaaated it. All of their beers taste like saccharine and cat pee to me. That one was just chocolate cat pee. :)I've always thought that their beers taste a bit artificial. Making a different Shandy every season shows you the direction they're going.

They're bringing a lot in for Giant Eagles and there's extra to go around for local bottle shops too. I was quite surprised to find Head Hunter on draft at Nationwide Arena last night. $8.25 for 12oz.

Also recommend checking out Two Brothers Cane & Ebel, Terrapin's ryes (not in Ohio) and Great Divide Hoss.

I'm a little disappointed they're making it specialty brew, but in Founder's, I trust.

Dogfish Head's Etrusca from the tap was excellent.
Very interesting beer. If I had tasted this blindly, I would have never guessed it was not a blended beer.
Also finally had Weasel Boy's burboun barrel. Most excellent. Haven't had anything I didn't like from them yet.

Just got this in my email from change.org...
I just received word that State Rep. Dan Ramos, D-Lorain is about to reintroduce a bill to increase the 12% ABV cap on beer to 21% ABV. This is good news for the State of Ohio. This will open up a new market to breweries that would like to sell their higher gravity beers in our state. It will help small businesses grow and keep tax dollars in our own state rather than in neighboring states.
For information on this bill its status head over to Jeremy Rupp's blog at: http://ohiobeerlaw.wordpress.com/
Even though what we really want is to remove a silly cap altogether this is definitely a step in the right direction.
Let's get this thing done!
