Le Coq and Tartu Brewery, EstoniaABV: 9%"After the import traffic increased dramatically in the early 1900's. A. Le Coq was invited by the Tsarist government to brew his legendary Imperial Extra Double Stout within the Russian Empire. In 1912 the first Imperial Extra Double Stout left the Brewery in Tartu, the former province of Livonia, now Estonia. World War I and the Russian Revolution, however, brought a dramatic end to A. Le Coq's venture. Production ceased until 1921 and his brewery was nationalised by the Bolshevik government. The Facsimile label on each bottle of Imperial Extra double Stout pays homage to A. Le Coq without whom this classic style would never have reached its legendary place in the world of beers."The style Imperial Russian Stout and the name Albert Le Coq are synonymous. In the early 1800's the Belgian A. Le Coq exported Imperial Stout from England to Russia and the Baltic area. ***// About the Craft Parenting Podcast

America's second "golden age" of craft beer started taking shape back in 2012. Breweries opened on every corner, beer nerds lined up for exclusive releases, and taprooms became the heart of local communities. It wasn't just about beer; it was about community.However, as the market became more saturated and the growing consumer base became older and more health-conscious, beer releases became less and less popular. And then COVID-19 happened and changed everything. Post-COVID, bottle releases still occur, but they aren't as popular nor as frequent, and most places let you pre-order online. Bottle releases became less about the community and more transactional.According to the Wall Street Journal, 20% of adult drinkers are responsible for 90% of alcohol sales. Meanwhile, the Surgeon General of the United States issued a new warning about the effects of alcohol, and Gen Z seems to prefer alternatives like non-alcoholic beer, mocktails, hop water, and cannabis over craft beer. There's no doubt about it: the way our society views craft beer has changed significantly over the last decade. How are craft breweries navigating these industry headwinds?In this episode of the Craft Parenting Podcast, Joe and Caroline share their thoughts on the current state of the craft beer industry and how consumer habits are shifting. Plus, Joe shares his Dry January experience and they try Hop Water, a growing non-alcoholic alternative.Supporting your favorite craft breweries doesn't have to stop just because you're not drinking.

January is a unique time of year. It signifies a fresh slate and new beginnings. It's also cold and snowy, and it presents the perfect opportunity to slow down after the hustle and bustle (and perhaps overindulgence) that the Christmas season sometimes brings. For some (including Joe), it may also mean giving up alcohol and becoming healthier.In this week's episode of the Craft Parenting Podcast, Joe and Caroline dive into the history of Dry January, list some of the options that are available, and discuss some of the benefits and drawbacks.Remember, if you are participating in Dry January this year, you can still support your favorite Craft Breweries, even if you aren't drinking.

Seeing a local craft brewery shut its doors is always tough, but this hurts extra hard. In this episode, Joe and Caroline pay tribute to Taft's Brewing Company. Taft's Brewing Company opened its doors on Opening Day in 2015 in a beautifully renovated church in Over-the-Rhine. They were named after the 27th President of the United States, William Howard Taft, originally from Ohio. President Taft was a heavy-set man. According to urban legend, he got stuck in a bathtub at the White House. Taft's Brewing made this urban legend part of their brand. Over the years, we witnessed their growth. They started to can and distribute their beer and opened two additional locations, one in Spring Grove in the Cincinnati suburbs and one in Columbus.Taft's beer and taproom spaces significantly impacted our "craft beer" journey. Caroline met friends there to knit, and Joe went there as part of his joint bachelor party. It used to be our go-to spot for dinner if we went to Over-the-Rhine with friends on the weekend. When they opened their Brewporium on Spring Grove Ave, we took our kids there to watch the trains while eating pizza, typically after we visited the Cincinnati Zoo.Due to COVID, hard economic times hit everyone. Unfortunately, they were forced to close their original location in Over-the-Rhine on November 25, 2023. About a year later, they announced the closure of their Columbus location. Their third and final taproom, their "Brewporium" on Spring Grove Avenue, will permanently close on December 29, 2024. However, this isn't the end of the road for the beer. Their beer will live on through CinBev, which purchased the brand earlier this year. Taft's beer will join other classic Cincinnati brands such as Christian Moerlein, Hudepohl, and Little Kings as part of CinBev. Times are challenging right now, especially for the "little guy."

On the twenty-second day of beervent, Higher Gravity gave to us…Jungle Boogie Pale Wheat Ale with Rooibos ReaMarz Community Brewing Co. - Chicago, ILABV: 5.7% “Jungle Boogie isn't your typical wheat beer–which is why it consistently ranks among the top wheat beers in the country. Instead of a light and bready cracker profile, Jungle Boogie uses a grain bill of mixed wheat to provide a body of light caramel and amber sweetness. That sweetness provides the platform for the fruity Rooibos tea to build a tower full of ripe stone fruit. Finishing the fermentation with a minimal dry hop of Mosaic further buttresses the fruity characteristics of the tea, while providing a lightning rod to unite the whole with a vibrant current of bright flavor. Light and colorful, Jungle Boogie is the perfect beer to pair with almost any dish and a welcome libation to both longtime fans of craft beer as well as those averse to overly malty or hoppy brews."About the Craft Parenting PodcastThe Craft Parenting Podcast is hosted by Joe and Caroline, two Cincinnati parents who are also craft beer enthusiasts.
