I'm headed to Mason, OH Memorial Day weekend for the dreaded graduation party... Where can I go to get a decent beer? Any decent brew pubs in the area?
I live in the Mason area .... I generally drink my own beers or craft brews. Sorry I can't help with any brew-pubs.
Apart from drinking after golf, or happy hours with guys from work, I generally don't go to bars.
Who is graduating, from where? My daughter is graduating from Kings this year.

I definitely recommend taking the extra 30min drive and going to Hofbrauhaus in Newport KY. I frequent there a lot! You wont regret it.
Does that one sell anything besides Hofbrau? I went to the one in Vegas and they only had the original Helles, a Hefeweizen, and a "seasonal" Hefe-Dunkelweizen mix.
I want to thank everyone for their input. I decided to pub crawl a bit as my girlfriend volunteered to be the designated driver. We went to Hofbrau in Newport first. Loved the biergarden and I got the last glass of Maibock they had (perfect timing!). I also really enjoyed the Dunkle. After we left there, we went over towards Christian Morelain's (sp?), but there was a Reds game, so we didn't stop. Then we went to Rivertown Brewing Co...apparently their taproom just opened about a month ago. The beer was good, but all tasted kind of the same. After a quick shower at the hotel, we drove over to Hyde Park- What a neat little neighborhood! There we stopped at Teller's for a beer and a snack. Nice place, but a little pricey... Beer selection was good though. Then after a short walk in the neighborhood, we went over to the Cock and Bull. They had an awesome beer selection and was the highlight of the trip! Finally, on Sunday, prior to the party, we stopped at Dingle House. Food was ok and beer selection was ok. But overall, a very fun little trip! I was going to stop at Party Source to pick up a few beers that are hard to find in Michigan, but I didn't feel like driving back south again. Plus, I was unsure of whether they would even be open on Sunday.
