Description
Located in a former roadside speakeasy on US Route 50 heading west into the city of Cincinnati, Fifty West Brewing Company first opened its doors in November of 2012. Since then, one thing has remained the same. Every time you have a Fifty West beer, you know it was handmade in small batches with a focus on the four virtues we hold closest to our hearts: craftsmanship, tradition, innovation, and patience.

Sample at Daily Growler UA during the "Ohio IPA Night" event on 03/20/2014. Pours a hazy golden-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, tropical fruit and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of citrusy hops, toasted malt and pine. The finish is moderately bitter with a resiny hops aftertaste. Above average overall.

Growler at the RBWG 2014 grand tasting, thanks! Pours black with a dark brown head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has lots of dark grains, light roast and some bitter chocolate. Flavor is similar with dark grains and light roast with just a bit of bitter chocolate.

Growler shared on the early morning bus during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. Good nose, big on the citrus pith. Light to medium sweet flavor with heavy, dry minerals, gritty citrus rind, dry pale malts. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Dry finish with slight sticky pine, minerals and pithy orange. A touch too dry and bitter but otherwise good.
