The Ohio Thread

[cneville1]

Bodega is open again - curious to hear everyone's thoughts about the re-design. I didn't make it there often, but if I can actually walk around in there without bumping into someone I may head there more often.

i was checking the pictures out--it looks like there might be even fewer tables before. that works for some places, but bodega is not one of those places. i wholeheartedly agree that they should have moved rather than remodeling or at least stopped serving mediocre food and gone to just a bar. oh well.

were any of those kegs still pouring? i am super intrigued by the tangelo bodhi but am guessing it's long gone, and it's too far just to stop in.

seeking advice--getting married in toledo in a few weeks, and while my guests will be drinking crappy beer (sorry!) i'm not going to be. catch is that i'm looking for something <5%abv, not in bombers, and readily available in ohio. i am leaning towards something like stone go to, but was wondering if there's anything off my radar that's worth drinking for 6 hours. also, does bam biere come in 375s?

I know La Roja comes in 375...but I'm not sure about other offerings. Fathead's Daydream could be another option.

Anybody know of any shops in Toledo that have been seeing the new Jackie O's bottles yet? I know I won't have a problem getting them when I'm down there next month, but I'd like to have a go-to spot where I can grab them if I decide to send a box again some day...

Used to be in 12oz a while back but I don't think so anymore. I've only seen Roja, Oro and Calabaza recently in the 375s.

Stillwater has 6pack cans of Classique saison (4.5%) that's been a go to session beer for me that's not an IPA/PA.

If you're buying it in Columbus, the only places I've seen it at have been Pace-High and Savor Growl. None of the shops around town seem to know what the hell it was when I was hunting it down a month or two ago and then it just randomly popped up.

the problem is i'm not allowed to bring it in, the venue has to buy it. if i could bring it in i'd be crushing NG berliner all night. hopefully they'll be able to find some--they've got a few weeks.

I know two places have gotten it, but its' been a struggle to get any. I got 1 bottle of Dark Apparition from Anderson's in Maumee, and that was after I basically told them to order it. I know they got Paw-Paw and so did Churchill's in Maumee, but I have no clue how much. Anderson's (in Maumee) will get just about anything that is available, but trying to pry it loose has been very difficult as of late. I know Anderson's Market didn't order it, from my friend who works there. You could try Anderson's on Talmadge, Joseph's or Marino's...but I don't usually venture that far. Hit me up if your looking for anything in particular and I'll see if I can't hunt some down.

Has this hit in Cincy or CBus yet?! I haven't seen it, but would love to find a bottle or 2!

Did Columbus/anywhere around get Evil Twin Ryan and the Gosling?

Saw this in Cincy area last week.

 

[oldp0rt]

Hey guys, has nothing to do with releases or anything of the sort but are there any bottle shops in the Cleveland/Akron area that I should be checking out? I'll be there in July and I'm just planning ahead.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

I'm not an expert of Cleveland, but depending on where you are in Akron, 101 Bottles in Kent is a great shop with a nice bar with about ~20 or so taps. The only shops in Cleveland I know is Rozi's in Lakewood and Lizardville (multiple locations). Both of which have a great selection.

Thank you. I'll definitely check those out.

 

[beerstraveler]

Jackie O's Brick Kiln has officially hit Cincy! Jungle Jim's has a few bottles left. Also, Revolution/Firestone Walker collab "Dos Osos" and Rhinegeist Zen (mosaic and citra session pale ale) 6 pack cans just hit shelves.

 

[BorisKarloff]

Man, I really hope Rhinegeist starts sending cans up to Columbus sometime soon!

The JP version just hit Columbus this week. $14 a bottle.

Need help from Columbus people:
I'm attending a conference that will be held at OSU, and I'm looking for a bar that would be suitable for a large block (say 10-30) of people on a Friday night. These, for the most part, would be casual beer drinkers, so I'm more interested in finding a place that would be comfortable for a large group of 25-40 year olds, rather than a super crowded bar with the best selection.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Any bar near campus on a Friday night is probably going to be crowded. Try Pint House? I haven't been there but I've heard they get some decent stuff , they've got some food, it's large, casual and has a retractable roof.

Every time I have been to pint house it has been slammed, fwiw. It gets so loud in there that it can be hard to hear people as well.

That being said, campus bars should t be too bad since it's the summer. Chumleys is pretty big and shouldn't be too crowded. Same with Eddie George's in the summer.

 

[TomTwanks1]

Yeah pint house is gonna be friggen packed. Chumleys would be a better bet but most likely still crowded. Also, 10-30 people is a big difference!

 

[owens99]

Yes, I'm completely unsure how many people at this conference are going to want to drink (good) beer. Best bet is closer to 10. Chumley's looks pretty good, especially since we'll be very close to the OSU Faculty Club before that (and google maps says they're only about 0.4 miles apart).

Thanks!
