edpaffjr.comLast week Jackie O’s Brewery out of Athens, Ohio began distribution in Cincinnati with Cavalier. I was shocked to find both of their initial offerings, Firefly Amber and Chomo-lung-ma (honey nut brown), at my local deli last night. I couldn’t decide between the two so I decided to buy them both.
Beer Cans
The beers are in canned six packs and have a very eye-catching design. My wife and I both sampled each beer last night, starting with the Firefly Amber. I found this amber to be a bit hoppier than a traditional amber ale, but not so much that my wife (a non-IPA fan) didn’t enjoy it. In fact she said she preferred Firefly over Chomo-lung-ma, which is sweeter with the addition of wildflower honey. I found the subtle sweetness from the honey to be wonderful and preferred this beer over the Firefly.
According to Jackie O’s comment on my Instagram photo, their Mystic Mama IPA will be hitting shelves next week. I will definitely be on the lookout for that one. Additional details of Jackie O’s and reviews of these two beers are available on Queen City Drinks.
