Where Did the Time Gose? A Reunion Decades in the Making

Admin — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 17:33:13 +0000

When the minds behind The Brew Kettle and HiHO Brewing Co. get together, it’s more than a collaboration. It’s a full-blown reunion. Decades after playing T-ball together, where we mostly chased butterflies and missed first base, we finally traded our aluminum bats for mash paddles.

The result is Where Did the Time Gose?, an incredibly refreshing Gose brewed with lemongrass and ginger.

If you’re wondering what a Gose is, it’s a traditional German-style wheat beer known for its light tartness, subtle touch of salt and crisp, refreshing finish. Our version adds bright, citrusy lemongrass and a gentle kick of ginger, creating a lively beer that is flavorful, easy-drinking and perfect for squeezing a little more fun out of the final days of summer.

At just 4.2% ABV and 8 IBU, it’s light, refreshing and approachable, even if sour beer usually isn’t your thing.

Some friendships begin over a beer. This one started on a T-ball field and somehow found its way into a fermenter.

Where Did the Time Gose? taps this Friday at all Brew Kettle locations. Stop in, raise a glass and help us celebrate old friendships, new beer and the strange realization that T-ball really was that long ago.

September Specials at The Brew Kettle: Fall Is Coming, But We’re Not Giving Up the Patio Yet

Admin — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:59:29 +0000

September is that strange little month where summer and fall fight over the thermostat. One day you’re enjoying a beer on the patio in shorts, and three days later you’re digging through the closet wondering where you put the hoodie you haven’t seen since April.

This September, The Brew Kettle is serving up three chef-inspired specials at our Strongsville, Hudson and Brunswick locations. We plan to squeeze every last drop out of patio season while welcoming the return of hearty fall food. It’s that glorious transition from “one more beer outside” to “I guess I need a coat now.”

Pierogi Paprikash – $13

Two comfort-food heavyweights have entered the ring.

Our Pierogi Paprikash combines golden pierogies with a rich, creamy paprikash sauce, finished with sour cream and green onions. It’s warm, savory and exactly the kind of food September starts whispering about.

The Flying Pig – $17

Yes, pigs can fly. Apparently they just needed schnitzel and beer.

The Flying Pig brings together a crispy breaded pork cutlet smothered in melted cheese, served with a soft pretzel roll, mustard and broccoli. It’s big, hearty and engineered to make that salad you were considering seem like a distant memory.

Oktober-Feast – $18

Oktoberfest season has arrived, and subtlety has left the building.

The Oktober-Feast piles on the German-inspired goodness with a selection of sausages, braised red cabbage, seasoned potatoes and mustard. Pair it with a Brew Kettle beer and suddenly buying lederhosen online at 11:30 p.m. doesn’t seem completely unreasonable.

Soak Up Those Last Patio Days

We know what’s coming. Falling leaves. Earlier sunsets. Jackets. Then heavier jackets. Then that giant winter coat that makes everyone look like they’re preparing for an expedition to the North Pole.

But not yet.

September still has plenty of beautiful patio days left, so grab a table outside, order a cold Brew Kettle beer and work your way through our chef-inspired September Specials while the weather is still cooperating.

The September Specials are available for a limited time at The Brew Kettle in Strongsville, Hudson and Brunswick. Come hungry, grab a patio seat while you still can, and bring a sweatshirt just in case.

September is here, and we’re serving up two new specials at The Brew Kettle Canton!

Admin — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:22:19 +0000

Buckenberger Nachos

WE’RE PUTTING YOUR NAME ON IT!

You know you’ve officially made it when the brewery names a menu item after you.

The Buckenberger Nachos are dedicated to the crew members who have been here for the long haul—the ones who consistently crush it, always have their teammates’ backs and somehow keep showing up even after seeing what really happens behind the scenes.

Because great employees deserve more than just a “good job.”

They deserve a menu item!

And yes, once your name is on the menu, you are legally required to tell everyone you know!

Come soak up the last of the patio weather while digging into our Buckenberger Nachos. This loaded creation starts with crispy corn tortilla chips covered in melted cheddar and mozzarella, homemade sloppy joe mix, crispy bacon, tomatoes and scallions. Served with roasted corn salsa and sour cream, it’s a hearty shareable—although we won’t blame you for keeping it to yourself. $14

Looking for something with a little crunch and tang? Try our Pucker-Up Bites! These dill-icious pickle chips are lightly breaded, fried until golden brown and served with our Creole remoulade sauce for dipping. $12

Both specials are available throughout September at The Brew Kettle Canton. Grab a seat on the patio, order your favorite TBK beer and enjoy them before they’re gone!

Cara’s Special ESB Taps Friday in Strongsville

Admin — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 15:07:18 +0000

Some beers are named after places. Others are named after legends. This one is named after Cara, one of our talented TBK brewers who is often affectionately called “Special.”

Naturally, Cara’s Special seemed like the only appropriate name.

Cara developed this Extra Special Bitter recipe and brewed it on our pilot brewhouse. Now she thinks you’ll find it every bit as “Special” as she is. We happen to agree, but we may need another pint before making the final determination.

An English Ale With Plenty of Character

Cara’s Special is a traditional English-style ESB brewed with English malt, hops and yeast. Together, they create a flavorful yet approachable ale with notes of rustic bread, a touch of caramel and lightly fruity undertones.

At 5.4% ABV and 41 IBU, it has enough character to keep your attention without turning every sip into a wrestling match with your taste buds.

Now, about that name: Extra Special Bitter.

Despite what “bitter” may suggest, an ESB is not an aggressively bitter beer. In British brewing, “bitter” traditionally describes a family of balanced, hop-forward pale ales, not a liquid punishment for something you did in a past life.

The 41 IBUs give Cara’s Special a pleasant hop presence and a gently dry finish, but the bitterness is balanced by the beer’s bready malt character and subtle caramel sweetness. The English yeast adds lightly fruity notes that help round everything out.

In other words, it is bitter, but not bitter bitter. It has moved on, found peace and is doing just fine.

The result is a smooth, balanced and highly drinkable English ale made for people who appreciate flavor without needing their beer to shout at them.

Celebrating the Women Behind the Beer

Cara’s Special continues TBK’s celebration of the talented women helping shape today’s craft beer industry.

Earlier this year, the women of TBK came together to brew Pink Rajah, supporting the Pink Boots Society and its mission to assist, inspire and encourage women and non-binary professionals in the fermented beverage industry through education, scholarships and career development.

Cara’s latest creation puts another TBK woman and her recipe right where she belongs: front and center.

Have a Special Beer With Cara

Join us at The Brew Kettle Strongsville on Friday, August 28, at 5 PM as we tap the first keg of Cara’s Special.

Come meet Cara, raise a glass and enjoy a beer that is flavorful, balanced and much less bitter than its official style name makes it sound.

Ragged Old Flag Finally Joins the Party – The Brew Kettle Lager Series

Ragged Old Flag Finally Joins the Party

Better lager than never, right?

Ragged Old Flag was supposed to arrive in July for America’s 250th anniversary celebration. But like road construction, delayed flights and that one friend who says they’re “five minutes away,” it took a little longer than expected.

Ragged Old Flag officially releases at The Brew Kettle pubs on Friday, August 14. This Classic American Pilsner is the latest release in our Lager Discovery Series and was brewed in commemoration of our country’s 250th anniversary.

Inspired by the full-bodied beers produced by local breweries before Prohibition, Ragged Old Flag is brewed with six-row malt and Ohio corn, then finished with Cluster and Saaz hops. The result is a crisp, flavorful pilsner brimming with classic American character.

The name pays homage to Johnny Cash’s recording of “Ragged Old Flag”—a fitting tribute for a beer inspired by American brewing history.

Yes, Ragged Old Flag may be a little late to the party. Fortunately, it brought beer.

Ragged Old Flag Classic American Pilsner
5.25% ABV

Available at The Brew Kettle pubs beginning Friday, August 14.
