In a continuation of our exploration of stouts, join us as we dive into three more styles - Milk, Oatmeal, and Oyster! We get into a bit of the history on the styles, taste a three time GABF gold medal winning Milk Stout from Cincinnati's Brink Brewing, take a road trip to Bellefontaine where we find a wonderful small town and an outstanding Ohio Brewers Cup medalling Oatmeal Stout at the Roundhouse Depot with proprietors Ron and Kathy Troyer, and come back to our home base in Columbus to share an Oyster Stout at The Pearl restaurant with North High Brewing's Gavin Meyers.
Just in time for the holidays we offer up a fascinating conversation with Jason McKibben of North High Brewing. Listeners in Central Ohio know Jason as the Brewmaster and Co-owner of North High Brewing, but his career in the brewing industry also includes stops at Anchor Brewing, where he was the Production Director, and Budweiser, where he spent 12 years in a variety of positions including a stint as manager of the research pilot brewery in St. Louis. In this wide ranging conversation, we cover topics as varied as medalling at the World Beer Cup, brewing with local ingredients, North High's embrace of the brewpub model, studying with Charlie Bamforth at UC Davis, a behind the scenes look at the iconic Anchor Christmas Ale, and an insider's perspective on Budweiser. Along the way we find out what they do at Bud's Research Pilot Brewery, and sample a vintage bottle of White Christmas, a white dog whisky distilled from the 2012 batch of Anchor Christmas Ale.
Business in times of struggle often talk of getting back to their roots. Not North High Brewing. Like many breweries and other businesses, the last year was one of big changes in the face of challenges, but the North High of today doesn't resemble the one first dreamed up by co-founders Gavin Meyers and Tim Ward a decade ago. They didn't want to run any brewpub. Today they have four and could be in double digits by the end of the year. They didn't have aspirations beyond Columbus but soon will be in multiple states. They only barely wanted to brew their own beer — the initial hook for the business was as a brew-your-own operation. North High's own beers would be secondary to the experience of inviting customers in, showing them a book of recipes and letting them loose (with professional guidance) on the brewing system. That brew-your-own option diminished over time as the founders realized being a traditional brewery made more sense. It officially ended last year. “That was the reason for being. That was the point of differentiation back when we thought the seventh brewery in Columbus was going to really crowd the industry,” Meyers said. There are dozens of craft brewers around Central Ohio today and hundreds in the state. North High is poised to rise in those ranks. Meyers chatted with Columbus Business First for an episode of Crisis Management, a podcast about businesses operating amid the coronavirus pandemic. He talked about the challenges of the past year — declining sales, laying off staff — but also the promise of the future. Thanks to its relationship with Columbus-based coworking space developers and operators CoHatch, North High's reach is moving beyond its original Short North taproom. Through that partnership, North High now has operations in Dublin, Springfield and Cincinnati, with additional units lined up in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Florida. Meyers explains how that relationship developed, how it works and how it's allowing North High to expand at “a fraction of the cost” they would incur if striking out on their own.

This week’s News & Brews sets up a seasonal face-off. The team samples a pair of local-made Oktoberfests — Norden Hoch from North High Brewing and Festbier by Columbus Brewing — and compares and contrasts the malty lagers. Which Columbus creation prevailed? Beyond the beer, we hoist some metaphorical steins to news from Columbus Brewing, which expects to open its taproom Sept. 18. In more taproom news, we chat about SIP Local, a new brewpub coming to Clintonville and taking the short-lived space of Actual Brewing. It’s an offshoot of Somewhere in Particular Brewing, which opened on the city’s Northwest side last fall. I also discuss the recent King of Ohio IPA competition, including kudos for Pickerington’s Combustion Brewing and Columbus’ Seventh Son Brewing, both of which fared well in the annual beer contest. And finally, Mark Somerson makes a shocking revelation about pumpkin beers and an even more stunning statement about Christmas beers.

As growth industries go, there’s nothing hotter in Ohio than craft brewing. Back in 2012, there were 47 Ohio craft brewers. Today, there are 299 with around 60 more in the planning stage. Not to miss out on the fun, late last year, Ohio Farm Bureau and North High Brewing introduced a craft beer to help celebrate Farm Bureau’s 100th Anniversary. A brewer, a blogger and Farm Bureau’s defacto beer guy talk craft brewing, and its close ties to Ohio agriculture, today on Town Hall Ohio.
