Yeah, that borbon will sober you up .
I've got some really good beer tonight. Eliot Ness, Chillwave, Columbus Brewery cowboy bernie imperial red ale, Columbus Brewery Bodhi, Flying Dog Raging Bitch, and some Torpedo Tropical. I'm only going to drink 3 or 4 so I have to choose.  All of them are from 7-9 % ABV.

Good evening tonight at the Dundee Tavern drinking the house Dundee IPA brewed locally by Monnick Brewing. An incredible beer and maybe the best overall IPA I have ever had. Only on tap at the Dundee however.  Â
Home now and eating supper and drinking some Larceny on ice to wind down. Great night.

Unless plans change tonight I will be drinking beer on tap from Funkwerks Brewery, Fort Collins, Co. Saison's, Belgian's and sour ales on the menu. New things to try.

OK. Back home from my outing of drinking great on tap beer from Funkwerks out of Fort Collins, Colorado. Normally I like various IPA's but decided to try some different styles since I had the opportunity to do so. Enjoyed both of these and could get very used to them. One of the great things about living around so many great beer houses here. Home now grabbing supper and settling in with some Old Fitzgerald.
Here is their website descriptions of the beers I enjoyed tonight.
SAISON/6.8% ABV - Our flagship Saison Born from a series of test batches begun in Gordon Schuckâ€s backyard. 2012 Great American Beer Festival gold medal-winning Saison. Passion fruit, tangerine, lemon verbena, ginger and black pepper. Pairs well with high-fives.
WHITE/4.8% ABV - Belgian-Style Wheat Ale with Spices. This Belgian-Style Wit is refreshing and quite witty. The opaque pale color and creamy white head results from ample amounts of wheat used in the recipe. The addition of raw oats gives a smooth mouthfeel yet finishes dry. Notes of orange zest and hints of coriander and chamomile. Pairs well with secret handshakes.

Are there any good craft breweries or beer houses near Portsmouth where you can get fresh stuff on tap?

yes, there is a microbrewery portsmouth ohio brew pubÂ
I buy lot of my beer at the Party Connection and they have Great Lakes to assorted brewers on tap.Â
Ton of restaurants with fresh on tap selections. This place has big selection... patties and Pints in portsmouth ohio
There are 80,000 people living in this area so you'll have restaurants and bars and so forth. I'm just tired of the other issues we have and there really isn't a lot to do around here. I think Portsmouth is a lot like other river towns where industry is gone and if the local government doesn't run the cities right like Huntington WVa or Ashland Ky or Marietta Ohio or Gallipolis ohio then it just goes to hell. Our local government is a joke. Corruption and so forth.  I've got some friends on our site who can provide more information who also live around this area. The multi country area and N. Kentucky adds up to almost 200,000 people who buy and spend locally in So Ohio.

That pattiesandpints with $5 Imperial pints is a pretty good deal. That is where I'd be.

I go in there on occasion, but honestly we just don't go out whole lot. I only drink couple of beers and that is about it. We have bar fridge and accomodations at our home and it's just cheaper to buy and bring home.
The Second St area in town is going through a renaissance of sorts with new loft apts and restaurants and bars. It's the locals who are doing this not the city government I can tell you that. I've got about 3 1/2 weeks to get my stuff out of my house for the new owner and I'm done paying them income tax, property tax, sewage and trash and water fees and so forth. I live on a great street and near the So Ohio Med Center campus on hill top but I'm done with the city government here. I think they've hurt the local college of Shawnee State university, homeowners, the local HS as well.
