The Godfather of Cincy Craft Beer - Mike Dewey from Mt. Carmel

We are joined this week by “The Godfather” of Cincy Craft, Mike Dewey from Mt. Carmel Brewing Co. Over the past 10-plus years, Mike and co-founder and wife Kathleen have done it “their way”.Mt. Carmel has stubbornly stuck to a strategy of slow growth when all around them has exploded, and they continue to offer a tap list of “core beers” when so many brewers often don’t brew the same beer twice. Mike sits down and explains to us why this is, but also reminds us that MCBC is NOT stuck in the mud by bringing us two amazing offerings–“Sap Attack” Maple Infused Brown with maple syrup harvested from Cincinnati Nature Center and “Jack’d Frost”–the second installment in their new “Limited Release” series–it’s Mt. Carmel’s “Tastings.com” Silver award winning stout aged six months in a Jack Daniels barrel. Mike also joins us in tasting “Space Taxi Barrel #21” bourbon barrel-aged Belgian Dark with Sangiovese, one of the latest offerings from Donny Gold’s Quaff Bros. Brewing.Mike discusses recent expansions in both the brew-house and taproom, plans for an expanded outdoor experience (including more paved parking!) on the MCBC property, Presidential politics, Cincy craft beer history and so much more on this very special Cincy Brewcast, “The Voice of Cincy Craft”!
