Author Rick Armon will visit and speak with us about his adventures and give insight into his tours of Ohio’s 49 breweries and brewpubs at the February Club Meeting. In his book, Armon offers information on tours, takeout, food, types of beer brewed at each site and the author’s pick of the best beer to try for each brewery. The book also features details on Ohio’s beer festivals, Winking Lizard’s World Beer Tour, and the Ohio Craft Brewers Association.
Books will be available for purchase at the meeting. Rick is coming to us from Akron and also offering this presentation for free. As a Bloatarian Thank You we think it would be very kind if members/attendees would bring one bottle of their best homebrew (labeled with style, brewers name, etc) to the meeting to send home with Rick.
About the Author: Rick Armon is a Cleveland native who currently lives in Akron, Ohio, where he writes about beer for the Akron Beacon Journal at the newspaper’s beer blog (www.beer.ohio.com), which focuses on Ohio beer news. He has been a newspaper reporter for more than twenty years and was beer columnist at the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle for five years. He homebrews in his spare time.
BBL’s own Jason Roeper of Rivertown Brewing Company is going to kick off Cincinnati Beer Week with a presentation at Arnolds, on Monday, February 6th. The presentation will focus first on sensory analysis of beer, and the second half will cover what it takes to start a craft brewery. There is some social time before the presentation at 6:00, with the formal presentation starting at 7:00. For more information contact Jason at Rivertown at 513-827-9280.
