Nines are Wild
Rhinegeist Brewery celebrates its 9th anniversary this year and has no shortage of beverages to commemorate the occasion, including the limited release “Nines are Wild.” It’s a crisp and citrusy cold double IPA featuring Centennial, Citra, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin hops. The brewery will host a western-themed birthday celebration on Saturday, June 25, from noon to 1 a.m., where you can enjoy both the new drink and a dance party. 1910 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, (513) 381-1367, rhinegeist.com
Motto: Strength Through Support
This month, Cartridge Brewing is serving its second Motto specialty bottle, and fifth in the series: a bourbon barrel-aged coffee Imperial stout. A robust and bold beer, it contains Brazilian coffee beans from local partner Seven Hills Coffee Roasters. The drink pays homage to the Mighty 88th—the core of the Air Force Materiel Command Garrison—and this tribute is displayed on the label, which features a classic Wright Flier shadowed on a Wright-Patterson hangar. If you’re looking to try it, note that it’s only available for a limited time and is first come, first serve. 1411 Grandin Rd, Maineville, (513) 697-3434, cartridgebrewing.com
