New Winter release, ‘Nighty Night.’ 11.5% abv Belgian-style Dark Strong Ale. Made with French Munich, Aromatic, Amber and Pilsen malt. A touch of British Chocolate malt. Candi sugar also used in the brew. Styrian Goldings and Tettnanger used to hop the brew. Yeast was repitched from Christmas Girl. Spicy, semi-sweet. Deceptive. Warming. Look for ‘Nighty Night’ as early as Christmas Day. QR CODE will be active upon release. Cheers, Buckeye.

‘Christmas Girl’ is a non-spiced Belgian-style Blond Ale. This style typically runs 6.5-7.0% ABV. For years Buckeye has only produced non-spiced Belgian-style ales for Christmas. In the past, most have been Belgian Dubbel styles. This is by far the most pale version we have brewed. The favor profile is new. This is a flavorful, easy drinking, delicate beer brewed with quality German base malt and complex Belgian yeast. The aroma is prominently grainy Pils malt and subtle fresh fruit. The high carbonation gives the impression of more body to an otherwise dry finishing beer. The finish leans to grainy/bready Pilsner Malt and a semi-sweet, honey-like flavor. We hope you enjoy ‘Christmas Girl.’

Thanks to Aaron, staff, and ownership at The Red Brick for hosting four Buckeye Brewing brews including: Summer Girl, Hipster, Cleveland IPA, and Wheat Cloud. Four of eight kegs were cashed by Wednesday evening. Thanks to the Pigskin for hosting Hippie IPA on draft.

Get Bling while you can! Bling will still be available on draft on occasion at fine bars. A new pale ale will be released reminiscent of Sasquatch Pale Ale. We hope to have that released by late Spring.

Buckeye’s 2010 commemorative India-style Black Ale is now for sale. 7.0% abv, Chinook hops, American ale yeast, 65 IBU’s. In addition, we are proud to present a new silk-screening process that absolutely rocks! At first glance it looks like a label, but upon further inspection one will find that it is actually a silk screen. Go ahead, try to scrape it off, it won’t be easy. Enjoy this delightful Black Ale while supplies last.

‘It’s been quite some time since we’ve attended The Great Taste of the Midwest…glad to be back. In fact, it’s been such a long time (2002), I forgot how delicious it is. First off, I want to thank the organizers and volunteers – TOP NOTCH. We were basically cold-called to attend. I can’t, and never would turn down such an honor of an invitation. Heat and humidity were peaked out, as were the mosquitoes. Who cares! The landscape, beer, and untouchable Midwest vibe certainly wiped out the little quirks. We had a few Ohio breweries in attendance. Buckeye, Ohio Brewing, Great Lakes, Fat Head’s, and Sam Adams (Cinci). 100+ breweries in attendance. What I suggest is this. Attend next year, bring your bike, and enjoy the day on Sunday. The city is amazing. Great restaurants. The breakfast place near the Capitol is killer. Great people. Thank you ‘Great Taste’ and Madison, WI. More more thing, the farmers market on Saturday is to die for, I’ve never seen anything like it – hard core, Garin.’
