![]() ![]() I’m happy to report that I achieved that goal in both 20 despite the fact that it got to be pretty expensive and obligatory at times. I set out on a journey to try a new place or restaurant every week for 52 weeks of that year. In 2013, after about six months of dating, I started Tour de Cincinnati. This seems easy enough, but we want to be sure that we are still exploring, trying new places, and essentially still dating each other, even now as an old married couple. It was wonderful to spend quality time together in a neighborhood we don’t often spend time.įollow Wooden Cask on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.įeatured image, left: flight from Wooden Cask right: sangria and chips and salsa from La MexicanaĮvery month on our around the day we got married (the 8th), we decided to challenge ourselves to try somewhere new. While on our trip abroad, we became more accustomed to slowing down and enjoying dinner out, and it’s something we still need to get used to. I also really liked sitting outside, where it didn’t matter the service was slower because it was nice to relax in the beautiful weather with great company and good food. The service was okay, the food was very good, and the sangria was delicious. During the meal BK actually handed me his Al Pastor and said, “Here, take a bite of the best taco in the city.” I don’t care for corn tortillas, but it was very good and clearly fantastic quality. I decided to keep it simple and got rice and chile relleno. BK ordered three tacos: Birria (seasoned goat meat), Asada (skirt steak), and Al Pastor (seasoned pork shoulder). The chips were delicious and the salsa actually had a kick to it, which was great. We sat outside, where we ordered drinks - sangria for me and Pacifico for him - and queso with chorizo to start. (They have Lengue and Sesos tacos for goodness sake!) La Mexicana, exterior Sangria Chips and salsa Queso with chorizo Tacos (Asada, Birria, Al Pastor) Chile relleno and rice Best part? It’s dog-friendly inside and out.Īfter Wooden Cask, at BK’s suggestion, we walked around the block to La Mexicana, a Mexican grocery and restaurant often hailed as the most authentic around. The beer was good, popcorn was delicious (there were about eight seasonings available for flavoring, too), service was friendly and helpful, prices were reasonable, and I absolutely loved taking in the space as we sat on a couch to unwind and relax with beer after a busy week. Menu board at Wooden Cask Wooden Cask Flight at Wooden Cask Popcorn at Wooden Cask Seeing as we recently spent two weeks drinking English beer, the Yorkshire Ale was reminiscent of our trip, and a surprisingly great take on a proper English ale. My favorites were Reformation, Yorkshire Ale, and X IPA. On the second flight were Girl Next Door (blonde), Yorkshire Ale (English ordinary ale), X IPA, and Hell Yes (helles bock). It did not disappoint, and I don’t even care for nitro beer. ![]() The latter was arguably their most popular beer at the time of Cincy Craft Madness (at least according to Untappd), so we had to have what ended up being a Sweet Sixteen contender. The first flight included Local 45 (American ale), Kentucky Farmhand (American wheat), Pacifica Time (IPA), and Reformation (Scottish stout) on nitro. Wooden Cask Brewing Company, exterior Wooden Cask, interior Wooden Cask, food truck out back Wooden Cask, interior pours, flights were a good deal and a great way to try as many beers as we could. They had 12 beers on tap, so we decided flights were the proper route. As we’ve come to expect from breweries, there were board games, free popcorn, and a food truck (Cheese N Chong) outside. The space was open, airy, and pretty large - would be a wonderful place for groups. We walked to Wooden Cask, which is located on York Street, a pretty direct route across the Taylor-Southgate Bridge. Thankfully I was wrong and, around 5pm, we set off on a journey from the Central Business District (where we both work) across the river to enjoy some beer from a brewery we’d not yet visited. It had been a long (short) week, the weather was wonderful, and I’m obsessed with walking these days. Friday afternoon, on a whim, I asked BK if he’d like to walk to Wooden Cask Brewing Co.
