Ep. 48 – How Prohibition Ruined Everything

February 18, 2022
Craft Parenting Podcast

In this week’s episode of the Craft Parenting Podcast, we go back in time to the dark ages when drinking alcohol was considered illegal. The Volstead Act, which established prohibition in the United States had a devastating impact on the City of Cincinnati and destroyed an entire industry.

This conversation was guided by a book called “Cincinnati Beer” by Michael D. Morgan, specifically, Chapter 14 which is titled “Dark Beers Make a Comeback and the Sheriff Gets into the Beer Business”. 

This is part two of our discussion on Cincinnati’s rich beer history. Listen to part one here.

What We Are Drinking

Caroline:

Biere De Nöel – Belgium style dark spiced ale
West Side Brewing – Westwood, Ohio
ABV: 10.4%
IBUs: 30

“A special treat for the holidays, this Belgium-style Winter ale is a deep ruby color with a tan head. Fruity esters from the Belgian yeast bring to mind aromas of plums and bubblegum while playing nicely with the spices used in the brew kettle. Full-bodied and finishing on the sweeter side, this big ale is definitely a fireside-sipper.”

Joe:

Porter
West Side Brewing – Westwood, Ohio
ABV: 5.8%
IBUs: 45

“Deep-brown, bordering on black, this porter boasts a malty aroma filled with chocolate notes and a hint of roast. Malt sweetness pairs with flavors of baker’s chocolate and lightly piney hops for a smooth, full-bodied drink with just enough bitterness to keep it balanced.”
