Backstory- Gilligan's is in Wyoming and did distro their beer (at least a couple.) West Side apparently had been brewing it the whole time next door for them. Now they are simply acquiring it all and operating a taproom/restaurant in the same place.

 

Or maybe, I don't know...put a subway in it?

 

A pair of hotel conversions on Fourth Street won state historic tax credit awards in December 2024 – the conversion of the First National Bank Building and the George F. Otte Carpet Co. Building.

Cincinnati's first Kimpton Hotel, bound for the Traction Building on Walnut Street, is expected to commence construction this year.

The conversion of the Gwynne Building on Main Street is progressing, though the construction timeline is unknown. Structural Systems Repair Group was on-site as of December 2024 tuck pointing, stone patching and replacing limestone.

 

Beer adjacent.

This was my first time out since it hit and given how ok my road looks I was surprised to see some roads still around town. The sun should help some today but not nearly enough to break through a lot of this.

 

A corner that has long needed some love put into it. Interesting to see how it ends up.

Oh I fully blame the county commissioners for this horrible deal but I also blame the Bengals for taking advantage of the situation too. They can all go to hell.

I am honestly not sure myself. I sometimes go over by the Walnut side.

 

Under the team's lease with the county, taxpayers would have been entitled to some of the money from the naming rights deal, but the team has told the county it will get nothing.

Back in 2022, if the Bengals sold the naming rights and the net revenue the team received was $60 million or less, the county was entitled to nothing. It was entitled to 30% of revenue above that level.

So basically the team told all of us taxpayers to go fuck ourselves. How nice.

We're not that lucky apparently.

Went over to KY for the first time since this happened and it was atrocious.

Have them pay back the millions in damages.

Lot of locals are now rereleased at least for winter- Madtree Thundersnow, Rhinegeist Dad, West Side Holiday Ale, Wooden Cask Winter Ale, Sam Adams (Winter Lager, Fezziwig, etc.), etc.

What might be new is Northern Row Caroler. My untappd says I have not tried it and it only has 25 ratings on there so it seems to be new. Described as an Oatmeal Stout with holiday spices and roasted malts. I'll try to update with an impression of it.

Happy Holidays!

I have fallen off this but trying to get back to it.

I will try to update it for the future but Wandering Monsters is having an event in February.

Welcome to the Confluence of Darkness. We are hosting our first Beer Fest on February 22, 2025!

I get email newsletters from breweries and this is the latest to come in. I'll add more events (for this month hopefully) when I get them.

I'd say good. There's zero reason to be doing surface lots here. Either build a garage or rely on people ubering or something. That and all the folks want housing and not a hotel, which was torn down. And relying on the MLK interchange which the city (most notably Cranley above all else) "supported" doesn't mean the people nearby wanted that either. They were gonna be steamrolled on that whether they liked it or not.

So build housing or sell the plots dude.
