The Ohio Beercast

by Darrell Williams

In a beer glass a long, time ago there came forth the Reinheitsgebot. Sorry about that phlegm in my throat. The Bavarian Purity Law declaring that true beer is made of water, barley and hops. What does this have to do with this podcast? Basically nothing except that both are made in the name and love for beer. In this podcast follow the Ron, Darrell, Kevin, & Mark as they meander through the Ohio beer and brewery culture that has sprung up through out the this great state. And just remember that Ohio is “The Beer of It All”
