What We Are Drinking

Blonde Stout
West Side Brewing - Westwood, Ohio
ABV: 7.5%
IBU: 34

“Golden with a white head, our Blonde Stout may appear pale but packs flavors and aromas you’d find in a jet-black beer. Coffee and chocolate lead the aroma, thanks to aging the beer on cocoa nibs and espresso beans from Deeper Roots Coffee. Coffee and chocolate flavors are rounded out by the smooth malt backbone, and it finishes medium-bodied.”

Dry Stout
West Side Brewing - Westwood, Ohio
ABV: 4.7%
IBU: 27

"Brewed in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, this classic (Dry/Irish) stout is jet black with a tan head. Light roast aromas and malt flavors give way to a dry finish, making for a smooth, quaffable brew that’s lighter than it looks."

G.I.L.
West Side Brewing - Westwood, Ohio
ABV: 5%
IBU: 18
"Our tribute to Cincinnati’s heritage of both Irish and German immigrants, this mash-up takes the malt recipe of a classic Irish Red Ale, our German lager yeast, and a mix of both traditional German and Irish hops to create a deep amber lager with notes of light caramel and toffee with a dry, clean finish."

Gilligan's Extra Stout
West Side Brewing
ABV: 9%
IBU: 20

"This bold foreign-style extra stout is loaded with aromas of roast, coffee, and chocolate. Traditionally a beer brewed to be bigger in order to stand up to being shipped all over the world, the bold malt notes are paired with firm hop bitterness to help it remain balanced."

Dry Cider
West Side Brewing
ABV: 5%

“West Cider’s year-round staple, our Dry Cider is fermented fully and minimally back-sweetened in order to achieve a dry finish. It has an aroma of juicy apples, a lightly tart apple flavor, and a pleasingly dry finish.”

Peanut Butter Milk Stout
West Side Brewing
ABV: 6.7%
IBU: 32

“Our Peanut Butter Milk Stout features aromas chocolate, coffee, peanut butter, and a light roast note. A dash of oats is also used in the brew to provide a full malt body. The nutty peanut butter flavor works with the sweetness from the lactose to help soften the roastiness, which comes through mostly on the finish.”
