About
In November 1788, the intersection of a dream and a pioneering spirit ignited Benjamin Stites and 26 others to found the settlement of “Columbia” along the banks of the Ohio near the Little Miami River. Now known as Columbia-Tusculum, Streetside Brewery is proud to be rooted in Cincinnati’s oldest neighborhood.
With the same industrious energy, the Hickey family, Streetside Brewery founders and residents of Columbia-Tusculum, strives to provide a down-to-earth experience with a selection of exceptional craft beer that’s as diverse, and original, as the community they serve.
Streetside Brewery was honored to be named “Best New Brewer in Ohio 2017” by the RateBeer Best Awards. Other awards include a SILVER in the English Style Pale & Bitter category by RateBeer Best 2017 for Return of the Mac (coffee blonde) and Best Sour and Best of Show at the 2016 King of Ohio Competition for Raspberry Beret (berliner weisse with raspberries).

16 oz can. Aroma is coconut with a nice mild dark chocolate that reminds me of the cake. In the flavor of the rich chocolate and coconut are balanced by the very mild bourbon in the finish. Not boozy no alcohol found. Thick creamy texture that you want in an imperial Stout. Rich and decadent bitch right here! I wish I would’ve bought more of the variations when I had the chance to!

16 ounce can from Tavour. Number one with a bullet. Jet black pour has a quickly dissipating tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, dark chocolate and banana. First sip brings intense flavors of dark roasted malt, bittersweet dark chocolate, overripe bananas and coconut. Big boozy notes as well. Thick, viscous mouthfeel. Intense from the first sip to the last.

Sample at Forbidden Root Columbus. The beer is a clear golden color with a medium thin white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of floral hops, fruit and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of floral hop, mildly tart citrus, yeast and doughy malt. The finish is fruity hops and yeast. Above average all around.
