Women Of Influence

After a post-Columbus Craft Beer Week/Memorial Day hiatus, the News & Brews podcast is back this week with something not from Columbus, but certainly memorable.

With the summer coming soon (did spring ever really arrive?), I ventured out to secure a light and refreshing brew that could slake the people’s thirst on those hot days of yard work or backyard recreation.

I failed. Miserably.

My eyes were drawn to the distinct can design of Aon by Sweden’s Omnipollo and having had the delectable Pecan Mud Cake Stout once in the past, my hand just sorta unconsciously moved to grab it. Though News & Brews is pro not abiding by seasonal beer drinking restrictions — “This is America” one panelist notes — best at least be sitting in the shade, if not a cool, dark basement for this choice.

Other topics of note — soda, doughnuts, caloric content of beer, running clubs and New Jersey beer laws. In local news, a new brewpub is in the works at the old Clintonville Outfitters store space, provided it gets some necessary approvals.
