I thought this was going to end up being a solo show, drinking a beer or two and telling you about it after being snowed in for a weekend. It turned out that The Beercat came through and gave me a quick rundown of this years Jungle Jim’s Barrel Aged Beer Bash that I missed […]

I don’t go to every beer festival that is held in Cincinnati. Time is a precious commodity and it seems like not all of them are worth me setting aside a whole evening to attend, by a far margin. However, there are a few that I try as hard as I can to never miss

I have a love for Jungle Jim’s, both from the Brewcast’s perspective (we’ve been there a few times for live shows now) and from a beer drinker’s perspective. It’s a store that is unlike any other – especially if you’re looking for somewhere to buy some beer. In addition to them being a fantastic, world

I get asked a lot about my favorite brewery, or my favorite beer in this city – and my answer is always as vague and indecisive as possible. It’s too hard to choose favorites in a city that is so diverse, full of beers that are so delicious, especially when it comes to something that

Jungle Jim’s in Fairfield Ohio knows how to do a lot of things very well. One of those things is beer festivals. For this episode we set up a table right in the heart of their big Barrel Aged Beer Bash to talk all things barrel aged beer (and maybe drink a few of them

This event started small. I mean… how many people were going to show up for a tasting of a bunch of barrel aged beers? But Jungle Jim’s was on to something back in 2014. The event that was christened the Barrel Aged Beer Bash grew, and kept growing. It’s funny… all of the reasons that

It’s a hard place to explain to someone who hasn’t been there, but Jungle Jim’s is home to me. While we set up this show to give us a chance to talk about their upcoming Barrel Aged Beer Bash, we had to explore what makes Jungle Jim’s what it is. How can you take a

Why is a craft beer podcast doing a “LIVE” program at a Cigar Festival? Because two of the hosts of said craft beer podcast are also cigar ‘junkies’, that’s why! Add to that the fact that when it comes to food, beer, hot sauce and more, Jungle Jim’s ALWAYS knocks festivals out of the park,

It’s hard to argue the powerhouse that Jungle Jim’s International Market has become. There are few stores that can rival the selection that both the Eastgare and “flagship” Fairfiled store have on hand, and this coupled with the low priced and constantly rotating growler/ tasting bars at each store have really set the store(s) apart

There are more and more beer festivals around Cincinnati as each year goes by, and there isn’t any reason to think that’s a bad thing. In my mind though, there is still one beer fest that sits above the rest, it’s one of the longest running, and best run festivals here in the city and

You heard about it here first… or rather on twitter and Facebook last month when I started hinting that this would happen after a little mouse told me… Jungle Jim’s will be host to their first (and hopefully not last) beer and cheese pairings this spring at the Fairfield location. At first mention most people

How can you start talking about Jungle Jim’s as a beer store without first explaining the store to anyone who hasn’t been there? It’s not really a beer store, it’s not even really a grocery store. It’s a food theme park, or a culinary dreamland. They have foods here that you didn’t even know existed. Make
9 years ago when Jungle Jim’s International Market in Fairfield hosted their first BeerFest things were very different. Here in Cincinnati there were beer geeks, yes, but they were few and far between. Craft beer hadn’t taken off yet and Cincinnati beer was a relic of the past. What we knew of Cincinnati was stories
