About
Every Farmhouse has a story.
Ours is a little different. It began in the storm cellar of a home built in 1924 where a stainless steel kettle and a family's dedication formed the cornerstone of Mt. Carmel Brewing Company. Established in 2005, Mt. Carmel reestablished Cincinnati's brewing frontier. Today, our extended family of brewers and neighbors continues to push it forward. We invite you to become a part of the Mt. Carmel story.

Clear, light gold with a frothy white head. Aroma is grain, and an uncomfortable cheesy aspect. Not exactly pleasant. Taste is grain malt, with a bit of leafy bitter. Not good.

Sample at The Daily Growler (as "Pizza Porter", because for some reason they are not allowed to use Dewey’s’ name). Dark brown pour with a medium tan head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of roast malt, hops and coffee. Medium-bodied with flavors of sweet roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. The finish is roasty with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sample at The Daily Growler. Pours a clear bronze-brown color with a medium off-white head that recedes slowly. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruit, yeast and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of ripe fruit, earthy yeast and a bit of spice and malt. The finish is semi-sweet with a dark fruit aftertaste. Above average all around.

12oz bottle picked up in Columbus, OH. Unfiltered looking orange-tan. Thin, soapy head, steady carbonation bubbles rising. A pretty decent aroma, fleshed out with some fresh hop tones. Caramel and amber malt, pretty decent balance, doesn’t really have much of a hop bite..more an earthy undertone. A pretty decent beer, some smooth, creamy yeast notes. OK.

12oz bottle picked up in Columbus, OH. Filtered ruby red-brown body, thin off-white head. Smooth, mellow brown malt, maple aroma. Medium bodied, pretty much spot on for the style. Clean and balanced. Toffee, dark fruit, caramel chocolate notes, nutty. Nothing mindblowing, middle of the road, but also ideal for a sessionable brown ale. Well done.

So, practically everything I’ve had from this brewer has been over the top on style. Let me try this. And, this is no different; it is ipa like right from the start. Strong initial impact. However, I must comment that I did not even think it was 8%, more like a sixer to me. A little sweet and cloying but not to the extreme. Aroma of mild body odor. Could have a few more manners, but what the heck, I’m catching a little buzz near the end of this bottle. Yes, ipa like in many respects. BTW, is it possible for a bitter to approach 8%? Must be in the wrong style.
