Northside Sunday.

We went to Django Western Taco for a late brunch today. We shared the buttermilk biscuit with redeye chorizo gravy and fried eye, Chef Josh’s famous tater tot casserole and a side of bacon topped with ancho chile honey…

And it was delicious. As always. Also, Chef Josh said that Django Western Taco has some really big news coming very soon so we can’t wait for his big announcement! After we stuffed our faces at Django, we walked over to Urban Artifact for a beer or two…

We had the very last pint of the Palmistry and a couple of Finn’s…

We love Northside so much. 😀 ❤️

Brink Brewing Co.

This afternoon we rode the 17 bus up Hamilton Avenue into College Hill to check out the new Brink Brewing Company…

We got a flight and headed outside to Brink’s awesome back patio…

We tried their Debbie Jean Blonde Ale, Buona Sarah Saison, Even Flow Brink Berry Wheat, Moozie Milk Stout, Peach Cobbler Moozie Milk Stout and not pictured was the award-winning Brink English Brown Ale…

I really like Brink’s logo…

The Peach Cobbler Moozie Milk Stout was outstanding…

Piggin-N-Grinnin BBQ was serving up BBQ out on Brink’s patio as well…

I got the brisket sammich, and we shared some mac and cheese and Grippos BBQ chips…

And Genifer got a pulled pork sammich…

It was some really delicious BBQ! And some delicious beers. We really enjoyed the Even Flow Brink Berry Wheat…

GIANT SCRABBLE!

It was a bunch of fun hanging out at Brink. And it was so easy just to hop on the bus and we were there in no time. We’ll definitely be back very soon! 🙂

Northside nubs.

We hung out in Northside this afternoon. First, we walked to Boswell’s Alley for a great lunch while we watched some of the Reds-Cubs game before heading down the street to Urban Artifact’s second-anniversary party…

We had a really great time. There were soooo many good beers. Afterwards, we walked over to Second Place so my parents could taste a little sample their bourbon and Arnold Palmer slushies. It was a fun afternoon in Northside before we Grabbed an Uber to over to Nippert Stadium to watch FC Cincinnati take on Louisville City FC. 🙂

Urban Artifact’s Squeezebox.

I met Genifer at Northside’s Hoffner Park this evening so we could walk over to Urban Artifact to try their latest creation, Squeezebox Strawberry Sour Bomb…

We hadn’t been to Urban Artifact in a minute so we got a flight to try some of the new stuff they had on tap today…

From left to right, we tried Squeezebox Strawberry Sour Bomb, Letterbox Dark Tropical Ale, Peanut Butter Sliderule Chocolate Raspberry Gose and Skep Honey Nut Muffin Ale. Here is everything Urban Artifact had on tap this evening…

All of them were really amazing but Squeezebox was the clear standout. It was like sucking on one of those little strawberry hard candies…

Urban Artifact also created four Squeezebox variants in 500ml bomber bottles…

There’s a Chocolate Strawberry Squeezebox, Spicy Margarita Squeezebox, Strawberry Margarita Squeezebox and Lemon Basil Sorbet Squeezebox. Walking home, the door to their production facility was open and we could see all the stacks and stacks of cans…

It was a very pretty evening walking home…

And now our refrigerator has some new friends…

But not for too long. We sat out on our back patio when we got home and shared the lemon basil sorbet Squeezebox. And it was just outstanding! Sooo good. I hope our whole #SPRINGinCINCY can taste like Strawberry Squeezebox…

Have we ever mentioned we love living in Northside? 🙂

Ciderfest.

This afternoon we hopped on the Metro 17 bus to head down in Over-the-Rhine to visit the Christian Moerlein Malt House Taproom. Christian Moerlein Brewing Company and Over-The-Rhine Cider Company teamed up to put together a hard cider sampling event today called as Ciderfest. And you know, we love our ciders. OtR Cider Company has two hard ciders, Original and Crisp. They collaborated with neighborhood bars and restaurants to create fourteen one-of-a-kind limited release ciders infused with various ingredients to be sampled this afternoon…

Our favorite out of all of the different flavors was the probably the Strappleberry. But there were a lot of really good ones.

After sampling all the infused ciders, we had a Moerlein Helles and a giant Bavarian pretzel with brown mustard and beer cheese…

It was a really fun event at a place we don’t really get to all that often. 🙂

New Year’s Day.

This afternoon we walked down to Boswell’s Alley to have some lunch, and watch the second half of the last Bengals game of the season. Have I mentioned Boswell’s wings are pretty dang awesome?

Afterward, we stopped to have some beers at Urban Artifact. We stuck around for an extra beer to see the start of a Drinks and Dragons event that was going on tonight at Urban Artifact. Our interest was piqued when we saw carry in this huge 20-sided dice…

Our new year got off to a pretty fun start. 🙂

Operation Plowshare.

We stopped at Urban Artifact this evening after picking up more pecan rolls from Shadeau Breads at the Northside Farmers Market to try their latest creation, Operation Plowshare. It’s a Black Raspberry Jelly Doughnut Ale made in partnership with Holtman Donuts and Yelp Cincinnati to Celebrate National Donut Month and Yelp’s Baked & Brewed! And Plowshare was delightful. It tasted just like biting into the center of jelly-filled donut…

We got one with sprinkles and one without…

Great stuff. I only wish we would have remembered to grab one of our growlers. 🙂

Northside Farmers Market and Pickle Gose.

After work this evening, I met Genifer at Hoffner Park for this week’s Northside Farmer’s Market…

We picked up a few vegetables and some odds and ends, then headed over to Urban Artifact to try their newly tapped Pickle Gose…

We weren’t really sure what to expect. But it was surprisingly good. I don’t know that would want to drink a couple three of them in a row but it was pretty good for the first pickle beer I’ve ever had.

There’s always something interesting going on at Urban Artifact. I can’t wait to see what they come up with for next week’s #TapTuesday 🙂

Fifty West Wednesdays.

This morning Genifer dropped me off on her way to work at an all-day brainstorming offsite meeting in out in Mariemont…

Our brainstorming was at The Barn, which is a great place for an offsite meeting just as soon you get over the fact that it’s all the way out in Mariemont…

After the offsite meeting, Genifer picked me up and we went to Fifty West…

Every Wednesday at Fifty West is Burger & Beer Night. You can get a burger and a beer for just $12! Genifer got their BBQ Bacon Burger…

And I got their Mushroom Swiss burger…

Those were some pretty awesome burgers! And really good beers. I couldn’t imagine a better way to wind down a Wednesday when you find yourself out on the east side of town. 🙂

Urban Artifact.

After dropping off Oscar at Genifer’s mom’s house, we stopped at Urban Artifact on the way home to get a couple of growlers to take with us to Michigan…
