It’s another month in the ever-busy craft beer town of Cincinnati, which means I have another roundup of all the beer releases that you need to pay attention to!  I keep track of every brewery and their packaging releases so that you know what is set to hit not just the shelves at your local beer store, but the coolers at your local taproom as well.

I say it every month, but hopefully you understand that even as good as I am at tracking it all, sometimes things slip past me.  If I missed anything on the packaged beer front – shoot me a message and I can get it added to the list – which usually keeps growing all month long!
