Tonight, we met our friends and their kids at Taft’s Brewpourium. It’s been a minute since we were last at the Brewpourium…
It was a really fun evening. And it was great to see everyone. 😀🍺❤️

Operation Plowshare.
We stopped by our favorite brewery, Urban Artifact this evening after work…
Yesterday, they tapped their Operation Plowshare, a Blackberry Midwest Fruit Tart. It tastes just like the filling from a jelly doughnut. Remember last fall when they gave you the options of having it with or without a sprinkle-covered rim? There weren’t any sprinkles this year but it was every bit as delicious…
We’re going to have to stop back and pick up a couple of four packs…
Great stuff. We love Urban Artifact and their amazing beers. 😀🍩🎃❤️

Rhinegeist Charitable Suds.
Genifer picked me up from work this evening and we went up to Rhinegeist in Over-the-Rhine for Charitable Suds…
Every Wednesday for 5-8pm, Rhinegeist donates $1 from every draft beer sold in their taproom to a different charitable organization. And they call it Charitable Suds. This week’s organization was Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services were Genifer works in Human Resources…
So we thought we would do our part and have a beer… you know, for charity…
Every time I’ve been in Rhinegeist, I’m always so impressed by the space…
Genifer’s co-workers are really nice,and it was a really good time. 😀🍺🍻❤️

Higher Gravity: Meet the Brewery.
This evening we walked over to Urban Artifact to try their Vanilla Chariot Cherry Gose variant and their new Owler Tart Vanilla Brown…
Turns out, they had just run out of the Vanilla Chariot the night before. But the Owler was very, very good. On the way home, we stopped by Higher Gravity for another of their Thursday night Meet the Brewery events featuring Covington’s Braxton Brewing Company and Braxton Labs in Newport. Higher Gravity was featuring four Braxton beers on tap…
They had Braxton’s Blown Gasket Porter and three beers from their Braxton Labs: New England IPA #002, Sweet Potato Casserole and Belgian Blonde with Chamomile. After the taster, we had a Braxton Blown Gasket so we could take home the sweet Braxton Pint Glass and some sweet Braxton shades…
Just another fun Thursday evening in Northside. 😀🍺❤️

Northside Wednesday.
After work this evening, we walked through the Northside Farmer’s Market…
We stopped at Urban Artifact to try their latest creation called Love Letter Peach Midwest Tart, have another taste of their Anaglyph Banana Midwest Fruit Tart and try their new Spicy Chariot Tart Cherry Gose…
Then we stopped a taco at Django Western Taco because it was National Taco Day!
And then we headed home…
It was a pretty good Wednesday in Northside! 😀👨🌾🍺🌮❤️

Northside Saturday.
At the end of our street, all these cones were having a cone party…
We walked through an open house of a new home for sale around the corner from us…
It was nice. But it was waaaay out of our budget. We like our house just fine, thank you very much. We kept walking over to Boswell’s Alley for lunch…
We shared some Bos Bites…
And we shared a Super Grill…
YUM! The fire trucks were pulling out just after we passed by…
We stopped for a beer at Urban Artifact…
We had an Anaglyph Midwest Fruit Tart made with real bananas and a Tricorne Tart Pawpaw New England IPA that they collaborated to make with Sam Adams…
And we got to hang out with our new friends, Tayler and Chris…
It was another fun Saturday in Northside. 😀🍺🍻❤️

Northside Saturday.
This afternoon we went back over to the new Taft’s Brewporium for lunch…
Garlic knots, 10″ pepperoni pizza, loaded tots and some shuffleboard…
More of the Brewporium was opened up this time, their space is huge…
Later, we met some new friends at Higher Gravity and caught the second half of the Michigan game. And then we walked down to Second Place for FC Cincinnati away match to St. Louis. Michigan finally pulled away from Purdue, and the FC|C match ended in a 2-2 draw. It was another really fun Saturday in Northside. 😀⬆️❤️

Taft’s Brewporium.
When we lived downtown, we used to love going to Taft’s Ale House down in OtR, even though we didn’t get there as often as we would like. When we moved to Northside, we noticed that Taft’s had a huge warehouse at the corner of Spring Grove and Mitchell Avenues. We hoped that they had a taproom but no such luck. The warehouse space was just a canning and distribution center. Fast forward a year or so and come to find out that Taft’s is indeed finally opening a tap room in the warehouse. And today was the soft opening of the new Taft’s Brewporium just down the street in Spring Grove Village….
It’s a huge space…
Complete with shuffleboard…
All our Taft’s favorites were on tap…
Taft’s Brewporium also serves food, mainly New Haven-style pizzas. From what I’ve read, New Haven-style pizza is a cross between old-world Neapolitan and New York-style pizza. It uses coal-fired ovens to create a thin, crispy, lightly charred crust. Hey, pizza is pizza. Let’s give it a try…
We couldn’t resist starting with some loaded tots as well…
And we got a 10″ pepperoni pizza. It was delicious!
And with that, we were stuffed. The official Grand Opening for Taft’s Brewporium is next Saturday. It sounds like a pretty fun event…
Great beers. Great pizzas and tots. Great place. We’ll definitely be back very soon!
Taft’s Brewporium is a terrific addition to the neighborhood! 😀🍺🍕❤️

Summer Hours: Streetside Brewery.
It very rare that we find ourselves over on the east side of town. But after chasing around after FC Cincinnati rally towels, that’s exactly where we found ourselves.
We decided to finally check out Streetside Brewery on Eastern Avenue over in the
East End/Columbia-Tusculum part of town for the first time. We’d tried a couple of their beers at Higher Gravity in Northside, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good they were. We were really excited to see what else Streetside had in store…
We arrived at Streetside just ahead of one of those beer tours…
Genifer has a Tea Bags and I had a Little Balls of Blue mixed with the Goseface Killah while we watched Arsenal take on Leicester City in the kick-off of the new EPL season…
Streetside offers a range of steamed sammiches as well…
In hindsight, I wish I would have tried a sammich. Genifer wishes she got a steamed soft pretzel. Oh well. Next time. Eventually, the beer tour moved on to their next location…
Awesome place. Great beers. Next time we find ourselves on the east side of town, we’re definitely stopping back into Streetside for a beer and a steamed sammich. 😀🍺🍻❤️
